Info zu Blue Dream

"We are all searching for something on this earth. And whether it is: truth, love, acceptance, or even validation; were convinced that the questions we have are deserving of answers. But we spend so much time looking out into the world for answers that we forget to look within ourselves."

Singer/songwriter Orenda Finks third solo album Blue Dream challenges this concept of self-exploration to answer questions in life. Prompted by a series of dreams about death, Orenda began writing truly personal songs that expressed precisely what she experienced through her dreams. It has been said many times that dreams have varied, and invariably deep meanings, and with Orendas new album comes an opportunity for all of us to dig deeper into our own unconscious selves. And while her previous solo projects Invisible Ones and Ask the Night relate to events in her life, Orenda feels as though Blue Dream is far more personal than anything that she has created before. With this album, Orenda finds new ways to cope with immense pain and heartbreak. Fink truly believes that if we gain a better understanding of death, then we can live a better life; an intriguing perspective that challenges us to dig a little deeper, rather than just continue on, scratching the surface of our feelings.

Writing the album allowed Orenda to contemplate the experiences that precipitated it and explore new perspectives gained over the past year. This process left her with the belief that we can only be truly healed if we find our "interior God." How do you find your interior God? There are many ways, but she believes one of them is through dreams. Dreams being the closest way to have a direct experience with the all-knowing past, present, and future.

"Just look at yesterday, and what you were doing, and how important it was, and how nonexistent it is now! How dreamlike it is! Same thing with tomorrow. So where are we living? Tibetans have unbelievably fascinating answers to that. This is what I’m studying because my dog died.” (Laurie Anderson)

Orenda was sent this quote by her friend Nina Barnes after Wilson, Orenda’s dog of 16 years, died. That year she found herself on a deeply personal search for the meaning of death. Pieces of answers, coded in riddle, came to her in dreams. Her dreams began to tell a story - about life and death and the afterlife, reality, and the fine line between the conscious and subconscious world.

"Fink has written a sonically pretty album from both the heart and the mind, but her hopes, fears, and answers get lost in the overwhelming fog of distance and space." (consequence.net)
