OvO by Yaima
OvO means “seed” or “egg” and stands for the point in time or space at which something starts- the next evolution. OvO was created as a concept album and carries the listener through the life cycle of a seed- the story begins in Winter, proceeds into the Spring & Summer, recedes in the fall and completes its cycle in Winter. The owl appears on the cover art as well as in the title “OvO” and represents the elemental energy of the Wind.
"As the Wind Blows,
Soft Across the Valley,
These Seeds,
Carry New Dreams…
In the Winter,
The Seeds Remember,
Their Song,
Evolution…."
Proceeds into the Spring & Summer....
"When the rains came,
The call to life began.
Reaching for the light,
Learning as they grow,
digging deep beneath
the darkest soil.
Stabilizing.
Finding Balance.
Evolution."
Recedes in Fall....
"Leaves they fall
All to the ground
Spreading their color
All around
A life fully lived
Whispers in the wind
Disintegration..."
And returns to Winter
"Start anew,
Begin again,
seeds are carried,
By the wind...
Evolution"
The Owl appears on the cover art as well as in the title "OvO" and represents the elemental energy of the Wind.
Owl stands for the truth and the ability to navigate through the darkest night by finding and listening to the wisdom and light from within ourselves.
