about

I’ve had a long-term obsession with dreams, and I’m especially fascinated by recurring ones. Many times through my life I’ve dreamt of falling, often through an open sky or to the bottom of the ocean. At one point, this dream became quite troubling as it began to play every night, so I wrote this song to give it somewhere else to live. It worked. As I wrote the song, I was reading Dostoyevsky’s ‘Crime and Punishment’. In one chapter, the main character is visited by a particularly terrifying dream character named Mikolka. As I read about him, the parallels to my own dreams were far too strong to ignore, so he wormed his way into the song’s lyrics, eventually becoming its title.

lyrics

For five years I
Stitched life to my side
But I still dream
Im falling down

I still wake up
On the ground
How the sea swells
And begs me down
I am both the crushing waves
And the breaking bow
