Evalynne of Cycle of Hands is a late bloomer in nearly every every facet of life.. Probably because her mom read her “the pokey little puppy” quite often when see was an itty bitty. Actually maybe that is why she is a procrastinator. Beyond that, so many things she experiences as far as achieving, creating and being seemingly happen far later in life than many peers. Simultaneously it seems to always be appropriate even if its frustrating to simmer with a slow cultivation of interest, skill, knowledge and application. ugh “sigh” you got her - she is just trying to feel less terrible about missing the deadline quite severely.. In fact - she definitely probably hasn’t hit the proper deadline once this year (5am on the 14th… Shame) But, on the bright side, she has a lot of hope you will forgive her and love her regardless for recording / mixing / producing for well over 30-40+ hours over the course of a few days. Not only that but she is puffing that hopium tough in general. Her song for today which is called “The Idea of Hope” is all about blasting unsavory swamps of pessimism with a hope bomb - To try to un-lodge poor sounds from the submission to fatalistic, nihilistic doom mud with a firm reminder of all the beauty, the love and the wonderful, precious gifts that permeate this world that are sometimes tragically obscure if one clings to the fear, outrage, helplessness, indifference and unhelpful mindsets offered and pushed vehemently by media machines: MSM to podcast bros to social media. in this day n age, regularly spreading unrelenting Hope and optimism is a low key revolutionary and . All she hopes for is being able inspire people with just a little piece for music - maybe allowing just a little feeling peace and catharsis that can make a precious fellow human at least a momentarily uplift someone’s spirits. Again: Her song for today is called “The Idea of Hope” Thanks so much <3
