MetalManiac333 I originally discovered Blake Evans under the moniker of Ancient Tree & I was honestly blown away by his creativity! When I first heard that he had gotten rid of all his electric gear, I felt rather disappointed because I thought that this meant an end to his musical career but was I ever wrong! I feel rejoiced that it was not an end but rather, a new beginning...which...I can truthfully and wholeheartedly relate to! Much ❤ for this new musical endeavor! 🤘😎🔥 Favorite track: Different kind of man.

Andy K. Dude this is great. Really love it. Hearing a Brant Bjork vibe in one of the tunes and just pure beautiful bliss in all of them.

  • "Ikigai" Vinyl CD and album art sticker
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Includes ONE Vinyl CD and ONE 3" album artwork sticker. This CD is styled with textured grooves to mimic the look and feel of a vinyl record. Black on both sides, this vinyl CD really pulls off the vibe of a vinyl. Sleeve/case is modeled after the inner sleeve of a vinyl record, but is much thicker, like the outer sleeve of a vinyl record. This allows the sleeve to double as a CD case/album cover once inserted in the plastic sleeve. This purchase also includes an album artwork sticker on the side to use as you wish.

    Please note: Currently only shipping to North America, I'm sorry for any inconvenience that this causes. Thank you.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Ikigai via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Freedom can't exist, when your giving into fears Tried that life for myself and its nothing but pain and tears Asking the questions for the answers that we know All part of the process for our spirit to grow Don't think that you'd understand Im a different kind of man A caged turtle stops growing to fit inside his tank When I did this to myself my heart and soul sank To reach my potential I've got to be free Im not running away, I'm just chasing dreams Don't think that you'd understand Im a different kind of man

You're not a machine You know what I mean Evil minds that seek to enslave Got you thinking its not that way Don't be lame Don't be the same As the ones, who are insane Organizations that are bad Got the people lost and sad Technology is not your savior You're a creature, born from nature Don't be lame Don't be the same As the ones, who are insane

about

(pronounced "eee-key-guy")

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being."
It can describe having a sense of purpose in life, as well as being motivated. This entails actions of devoting oneself to pursuits one enjoys and is associated with feelings of accomplishment and fulfillment. The word ikigai is also used to describe the inner self of an individual, and a mental state in which the individual feels at ease. Activities that allow one to feel ikigai are not forced on an individual; they are perceived as being spontaneous and undertaken willingly.

And a special thank you to all of you that support via purchasing, adding to collection, sharing on social media, adding to playlists etc... You guys keep the music going, THANK YOU!
