Discovering Bliss in Slow Motion High: A Song of Intentional Stillness - All AI Crafted By Kelly Eldridge Boesch
Kelly! Now you've done it! Who queued in the Clarinet solo (First String
performer in High School Band & Orchestra) to play in the break? What is
the process you use to create the extraordinary music and lyrics - both very
strong and can stand alone without the incredible AI images - honestly - PM
me. I write and am very curious.
Surreal Scenes In Orange And Yellow - Slow Motion High - In this workflow I [Kelly Eldridge Boesch] used the same prompt as the video from a few days ago but all new images as style ref and got this completely different look these are really good on the eyes. Images made using #midjourney and animated with #VEO3. The song was made using @sunomusic.
### Slow Motion High
**Lyrics by Kelly Eldridge Boesch**
**Verse 1**
I put my phone inside the drawer
Don't need the signal anymore
[Music]
The traffic noise is fading out
I turn the chaos inside out
The sun is hitting on the floor
In a way it never did before
I'm unwinding like a spool of thread
Pulling the noise out of my head
**Chorus**
And I'm floating in a slow motion high
Watching the heavy clouds rolling by
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
Just a paper boat upon the sea
Yeah, the world is spinning way too fast
But I made this little moment last
I'm floating in a slow motion high
Right here beneath the paper sky
[Music]
**Verse 2**
The dust is dancing in the beam
It looks just like a laser stream
My coffee cup is warm and still
I'm sitting on the window sill
I feel the gravity let go
I'm moving soft, I'm moving slow
The past is just a memory
And the future hasn't talked to me
**Chorus**
And I'm floating in a slow motion high
Watching the heavy clouds roll by
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
Just a paper boat upon the sea
[Music]
Yeah, the world is spinning way too fast
But I made this little moment last
I'm floating in a slow motion high
Right here beneath the paper sky
Don't wake me up
Don't shake the ground
I like...
### Synopsis
In "Slow Motion High," Kelly Eldridge Boesch crafts a delicate anthem of deliberate disconnection, one that celebrates the quiet rebellion of stepping outside the relentless current of modern life. The narrator begins with a simple, almost ritual act - placing the phone in a drawer and sealing away the digital tether - allowing the external clamor of traffic and obligation to recede. What emerges is not emptiness but a richly textured stillness: sunlight spilling across the floor in unfamiliar patterns, dust moves performing their silent ballet in shafts of light, and the warm, unmoving presence of a coffee cup on the window sill. These ordinary details, observed without haste, become portals to transcendence.
The song's central metaphor - a "slow motion high" - captures a state of elevated calm, an altered consciousness achieved not through substances but through the radical choice to inhabit the present fully. Boesch portrays the protagonist as a fragile paper boat adrift on a vast sea, weightless and un-steered, yet precisely where it belongs beneath a fragile paper sky. Gravity loosens its grip, time dilates, and both past and future retreat into silence, leaving only the expansive now. This is mindfulness rendered poetic, a secular Sabbath in which the spinning world is acknowledged but refused entry.
Ultimately, "Slow Motion High" issues a gentle plea: "Don't wake me up. Don't shake the ground." It is a song that safeguards its fragile equilibrium, inviting the listener to linger in the suspended moment rather than rush toward resolution. In an era defined by acceleration and overload, Boesch offers a tender counter-spell - an invitation to float, to watch the clouds roll by, and to recognize that sometimes the highest state is simply being, unhurried and unapologetically still.
