About

maybe pain is how we bloom

from the clouds,

this is not background noise. this is the 3am version of yourself finally having words. Zookiee X Pookiee makes alt-pop for people who feel too much and have never quite known what to do with it all. music carved from real grief, real healing, and the strange beauty that lives between the two. 

 

no formal training. no industry path. just late nights, honest lyrics, and the belief that if something is true enough it will find the person who needs it.

Midnight musings

I make music from the pieces of my life - so here, I'm sharing those pieces with you. The real stories. The mess. The growth. The memories that shapes the songs. Whether im unpacking a lyric, writing about leaving the place I called home, or reflecting on everything I've lived through - this is the raw version.

    "What The Weave Carries" - Section One - Part Six

     

    Scene 6 - “Maze of Silver”

     

    The drums had not stopped yet.

    Zook could still hear them as they moved away from Duskfen's eastern edge, low, steady, and certain. They were not panicked drums. Gnomes did not panic…

    "What The Weave Carries" - Section One - Part Five

     

    Scene 5 - “Before the Pull”

     

    The plan was simple.

    One last pastry. Then Valdenmere.

    Dandy had proposed the pastry as a practical consideration, they were walking into a city that wanted them not to be there, and it…

    "What The Weave Carries" - Section One - Part Four

     

    Scene Four - “Practicality of Duskfen”

     

    The stars were fully out by the time Dandy finished.

    Zook had not interrupted once. He had sat with the stone turning in his fingers and his eyes on the Duskfen lanterns below and…

    "What The Weave Carries " - Section One - Part Three

    Scene Three - "A Cloak of Stars"

    The council had said no.

    Eloquently, efficiently, and in the specific way that very practical people say no. Where you can understand where they are coming from, and still wish for something different.

    "What The Weave Carries" - Section One - Part Two

    Scene Two - “Root and Rain”   Duskfen smelled like rain that had decided to stay.   Not unpleasantly, the earth here had absorbed so many centuries of moisture that it had simply become part of the air. The trees grew low… Read more

    "What The Weave Carries" - Section One - Part One

    Scene One - “A Song for Liars”

    The candles in the great hall of Valdenmere burned the way they always did at council gatherings. Tall, gold, and deliberately beautiful. Everything in this hall was deliberate. The tapestries chosen to remind…

    The Story Behind - "Birth of the Butterfly"

    There are nights that split your life into a before and after. Nights that hold you so still, so completely, that the whole world narrows down to a single breath, and whether or not you choose to take the next…

    Questions in the Quiet (Q&A)

    Greetings, Midnight Wanderers.

    Lately I've been thinking about how much you all carry with me. Every comment, every DM, every time you say a lyric that hits you right in your chest… it stays with me. You're not just listeners…

    The Quiet Thread Between Us

    I feel like there's something bigger happening beneath the surface. Like we're not as separate as we pretend to be.

    I think about the idea of a collective consciousness. The possibility that we're all connected by something unseen. Not in…

    We Had Until Midnight

     

    This album tells the story of a relationship from its bloom to the moment it finally wilted away—full of color, love, fear, and the quiet devastation that follows when something beautiful can’t last.


    At the beginning…

    dancing for eternity - the story

    It came to me in a dream.

    A quiet house. Still, but not empty. I could feel the presence of two people who had once lived there. A couple, bound by something deeper than time. The home was filled with…
