Celebrating their progression and those who have helped them on the way, the title expresses the oneness that theduo felt making the record.This growth is explored on album opener "So Far Journey". Written by Victoria Port (singer/songwriter) as a "call to the ancestors", the track explores coming back to yourself and who you truly are after a period of feeling displaced and lost. With astrally chargedsynths from Max Wheeler (producer), it sits alongside the cosmic love story of "You My Love" and the luminous "Serenity".Speaking of the latter, Port adds: "It's that feeling when a person makes it feel like home wherever you are. When something isstressful and you know they can help you find your peace".1. So Far Journey2. You My Love3. Speak To Me4. You Mine5. Brave6. Bad Weather7. Breathe8. Serenity9. Go10. Free Will11.
