Two sides, one soul, dancing in the in-between
Surfing through the waves, but bowing when I eat
Halfway here, halfway there, still making my own scene
Maybe that’s the beauty, yeah, maybe that’s just me
L.A. sun, skating down the boulevard
Late-night runs, burgers stacked up in my car
But at home, it's chopsticks, "いただきます"
Switching up my language, still don’t got it all unlocked
Two sides, one soul, dancing in the in-between
Surfing through the waves, but bowing when I eat
Halfway here, halfway there, still making my own scene
Maybe that’s the beauty, yeah, maybe that’s just me
Flipping through my story, half in English, half in kanji
Tryna read the lines, but the meaning’s never easy
Friends say, “Man, you got the best of both”
But sometimes it feels like I’m stuck between the coast
Two sides, one soul, dancing in the in-between
Surfing through the waves, but bowing when I eat
Halfway here, halfway there, still making my own scene
Maybe that’s the beauty, yeah, maybe that’s just me
Maybe I ain’t gotta pick just one
Maybe both my worlds can shine under the same sun
A little lost, but I’m learning how to be
Not one or the other, just fully, truly me
Two sides, one soul, dancing in the in-between
Surfing through the waves, but bowing when I eat
Halfway here, halfway there, still making my own scene
Maybe that’s the beauty, yeah, maybe that’s just me

Barking Beats - Two Sides, One Soul | A Two-Track EP: Side-A & Side-B
Following his debut EP Who Am I?, Barking Beats returns with Two Sides, One Soul - a two-track EP that dives deeper into identity, culture, and belonging. The L.A.-based soul/R&B artist shares weekly VLOGs exploring his Japanese-American background, transforming those stories into music.
Inspired by the title, this EP features two distinct sounds labeled "Side-A" and "Side-B." Though the lyrics remain the same, each track offers a unique perspective:
Side-A: A J-pop-inspired acoustic vibe that highlights introspection and vulnerability.
Side-B: A Cali-style pop groove capturing the freedom and confidence of embracing both cultural worlds.
VLOGs tell the story. Music gives it rhythm.
Side-A and Side-B - two sounds, one soul.
Double the flavor. Experience the journey.
