taurus
the duality of a soft spring sun and a cool april moon.
the blooming of roses covered with thorns.
the start of a day, followed by the end of a night.
earth is forever changing around us, teaching us to be present and how to appreciate each moment for what it is.
taurus is equal parts gentle and strong, passive and aggressive, bold and subtle. it’s the duality of taurus that is their beauty. they are the seed of the earth signs, still learning how to grow, and barely scratching the surface. their curious nature asks their senses to dive deep into what is happening around them. they are your roots; trust them to guide you, teach them to show their love, and in return, enjoy the abundance of life.
when I was writing taurus it felt like it flowed right through me. after months of trying to figure out what my next project was i was scared i was never going to feel connected with my art again (the drama I know - blame my sagittarius moon). i had this idea for an astrology-related project for years, but I’ve been scared to share this side of me. i didn’t want people to think I was just hoping on a trend, trying to get the next hundred likes. for months i thought this project would be a great way to get connected to my art again, and i was going to release it all under a different artist name. After writing taurus - i knew it had to be a kate the dreamer story to tell. this song came directly from my heart and my mind, the duality of my taurean nature - the logic and the dreamer always never short of opinions. each sound was crafted to really tap into the nature of taurus and the words easily found shortly after. i am so grateful to nydge, as he truly heard the vision of taurus so beautifully. his production is exactly what i think a taurus sounds like. i thought i would share one of my favorite parts of the song and explain what it means to me.
it’s from the chorus:
where’s your garden, the flowers bloom, where they're planted - in other words, chose where you want to root, be proud of it, and know it can only grow if you pay close attention to it.
and i’ll be looking after you - trust that you are being guided by your past lives.
don’t fear water, just feel it flow - in other words, don’t be afraid to swim, you don’t always need a life jacket
and the last line, exactly what it says -take a step back and watch things grow.
this song is not just for my taurus placements, but rather a reminder during this season to let yourself make mistakes, let yourself feel your duality, let yourself continue to grow.
keep dreamin’
