#for nihon

NIHONNNN !!!! My bro, I love you. I don’t tell you this enough as I should but I love you and I appreciate all that you’ve done for me and i appreciate having you there for as long as I have. We don’t go to the same school, but despite that we still managed to stay pretty close and for that I’m grateful. You’re a great friend Desmond, and I’m lucky to have you. Anyone who is your friend is lucky really. 

You’ve kept me at peace more times than I can count and have even read some of the trash I wrote and just,, I’m thankful for that, and you. This is short cause I’m lame but I hope your day was well, and if not that tomorrow will be better <3 

Jon Hopkins - Abandon Window (For Nihon Version)

“Abandon Window is a track that was actually written about the tsunami and earthquake in Japan (2011). It was through a special compilation that donated money ('For Nihon') to that, then I rerecorded it for this record (’Immunity’, 2013). It’s quite morbid subject, it’s about escaping from life. If you’re crushed under buildings, the point at which you give up and just float away is the inspiration for that track really, trying to image that feeling when your soul escapes.”

You can still buy a digital copy of the album and support the cause here. Other artists featured include Deru, Nils Frahm, Max Richter, Ólafur Arnalds, and many others.
