The Blue Farewell ~Night of Sage~

This song is a dignified, clear-toned jazz number dedicated to middle-aged adults trapped by the hurtful words of others or past traumas (nightmares) that keep them awake at night.
The arrangement features a rigid, strictly timed classical guitar with minimal reverb and a thin, high-pitched synth pad, creating a "breezy silence" that allows no emotional clutter. The lyrics portray a powerful emotional shift: the protagonist, depleted by the noise of surrounding (people) over long (years), encounters the crackling smoke of Sage. It burns away her emotional shackles, transforming words of malice into dry ash, and guides her to the empowering realization that forgetting is a necessary act of self-defense. It is the ultimate track for resetting the mind and drifting into an untainted, deep sleep.
