Starlight Reveries; Episode 1. "the grief is never ending, so are the strange ways love will find you again and again!" ✶

good evening dearest listeners, welcome back to mai's humble corner of the airwaves. the darkness outside may be vast, but within the cozy confines of starlight reveries, we shall find solace in each other's company.

this episode, we find ourselves in the capable hands of a.. should i say.. lightly used microphone from a sketchy facebook ad? honestly i half expected to find a brick in a cardboard box when it arrived, but it seems like the universe really aligned in my favor that day. the quality might not be as good as usual and you may even catch a faint barking from my neighbor's dog in the background but i promise you, we're going to have so much fun today too.

before we dive into the main topic, allow me to play a few songs that i think will set the perfect mood for today's broadcast!

alright, welcome back! how's everyone's week been so far? the heat's been quite something huh? [mai carefully takes his guitar out of its case, nestling his chin against the instrument as he proceeds to talk about his week.] i hope your upcoming days will be kind to you, please remember to stay hydrated and treat yourself gently.

whenever i think of grief, words like loss, sorrow, and pain come to mind, no denying that. but recently, i've found myself associating the word grief with love as well. it's like the two emotions are intricately intertwined, "as long as there is love there will be grief because grief is love's natural continuation."

did you know that back in 2018, there was a mother orca who carried her dead calf for more than two weeks and over a hundred miles, all out of grief? despite the fact that the calf's body had begun to decompose, she did not let her baby sink to the ocean floor. tirelessly carried and nudged the body towards the surface, preventing it from succumbing to the depths of the sea.

not only did she refuse to eat, but she also significantly slowed down the pace of her pod as she grieved. but here's the thing—you might think nature is all brutality, but it's not. if that were the case, her pod would have abandoned her the moment they got hungry. yet, they didn't. instead, they stayed by her side through it all.

it really got me thinking—that grief, like love, is not an emotion exclusive to humans. from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of the skies, as long as there's love, there will be grief.

let's switch over to a lighter note shall we? when i ponder the concept of love, my mind immediately brings up a flurry of images: flowers, plump fruits, heart shaped trinkets, and a man with a mark on his ear right next to his piercing who blushes over literally noth–[a long pause follows, and the only sound heard in the room is the soft hum of a humidifier] wait wait!! what did i say?! [mai nervously chuckled, stealing a glance at the comment section that was now overrun with his listeners teasing him over his painfully obvious crush on his now, boyfriend.] ah.. let's just move on and continue to today's Q&A session.

Q: do you play any instruments other than guitar?

i used to learn how to play piano when i was in elementary school, but that is all!

Q: mai how did you and oliver meet, and what was your very first impression of him? please share it with the classroom

if i remember correctly we met during uni summer festival. i was in the promotion division, while oliver was in the ticketing division. we didn't interact much during the event, but i did find him really cute and was content just being in his orbit! first impression? oh! it was during this event that i noticed oliver tended to blush very quickly. we spent a lot of time outdoors, preparing for the festival, and within just 20 minutes, his cheeks would turn red. my first thought was, "i hope he's wearing sunscreen.."

Q: what loving oliver feels like?

ah.. loving oliver comes as easily and as naturally to me as breathing. it's strange because the love i feel for him feels so familiar, like we've been lovers in countless past lives. it's as though our souls have known each other in thousands of lifetimes before this!

Q: what song do you associate your lover with?

mystery by matt maltese

Q: does oliver babbles in his sleep?

stop asking about my man!!! but he does, babbles like a little kitty. my dear dear oliver.. he's so endearing

Q: mai do aegyo for us please!

baby, this is not idol fancall, ask more questions about me and oliver please

Q: where do you usually go on dates with oliver

we're both certified homebodies and have 'introvert' stamped on our heads. interacting with three or more people will leave us feeling like a dehydrated sponge— so most of the time we just stay at home and watch movies together! but i would absolutely love to go on a date to an aquarium. imagine the fun we'd have naming all the fishes!

Q: say something to mister boyfriend!

oliver kyoto, thank you so much for being so kind and gentle with me. i love you so much, and i hope we can stay together for a really long time. looking forward to more melon slices and fresh pile of strawberries in the future with kakak!

well, time seems to have flown by, my dear listeners! thank you so much for tuning in and keeping me company for the past two hours. remember to stay hydrated, take breaks if needed, and look after yourself. see you again in two weeks! until then, take care and stay safe ⭐

SEE: Passionate, Ethereal Music | Wila Frank - “Tonight”

We had the pleasure of hearing Wila Frank’s “Tonight” today. Frank is certain to become a hit as her emotive, passionate singing feels like you’re touching the soul of someone. It’s a heartfelt, acoustic track with sung with quiet fervor. Frank’s accompany music videos shot in a room viewing the outside world. The immediate message is that there’s a disconnect of sorts and a distance from other life. Check out the video above and read more about Wila Frank’s below: More About Wila Frank: Nashville-based artist Wila Frank today shared “Tonight,” the latest single from her forthcoming album Black Cloud, due out May 12th via Tone Tree Music. The track builds on an intricate, arpeggiated acoustic guitar, and is bolstered by ethereal atmospherics–it’s an impressive showcase of Frank’s technical prowess and her heartfelt songwriting. “‘Tonight’ is about recognizing your own pain in someone else,” says Frank. “As humans, I think we are all mirrors to one another and we long for each other in order to understand ourselves.” Frank has also announced East Coast tour dates, including two NYC shows at Rockwood Music Hall and Brooklyn’s The Owl, as well as two hometown shows at Dee’s Lounge and The 5 Spot–a full itinerary is listed below and you can purchase tickets HERE. Stream “Tonight” via all DSPs HERE. Wila Frank makes music that’s searching, cinematic, and introspective with scalpel-like precision. Her songs can clear the air, putting to music emotions that are deeply felt but only rarely spoken. With her debut album Black Cloud, the 24-year-old songwriter immediately sets a mesmerizing mood that showcases her evocative lyricism as well as her tasteful ear as a multi-instrumentalist and producer. Though just eight tracks, the album is a resounding statement of intent, an introduction to a fully-formed voice and perspective that boasts a freewheeling ability to jump between genres and textures. This is an artist bravely coming into her own and making something thrilling and alive. “This album is about longing for a feeling of freedom, wanting to create my own world outside of the world I was living in,” she says. While Frank’s raw lyrics can recall Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker, she was inspired by artists like PJ Harvey and Anna Calvi just as much as the brooding soundscapes of Massive Attack and Radiohead. And though her vision as a producer and multi-instrumentalist shaped the album, she enlisted her former roommate bassist Royal Masat (Billy Strings), drummer Wendy Killman (Jehnny Beth), and mixing engineer Sam Petts-Davies (Radiohead) to help fulfill it. Black Cloud is a testament to an artist taking risks and being honest with herself. “There’s an element of escapism and processing my past, but this album is really about expressing parts of myself that I don’t share in my everyday life,” she says. “It’s me speaking the things I can’t say in words.” Wila Frank Tour Dates: 4/03 - Nashville, TN - Dee’s Lounge Ton4/10 - Baltimore, MD - House Show 4/11 - Philadelphia, PA - Rigby Mansion 4/12 - New York, NY - Rockwood Music Hall 4/13 - North Bennington, VT - Pangaea 4/16 - Brooklyn, NY - The Owl 5/13 - Nashville, TN - The 5 Spot Read the full article
