In a serendipitous moment born from shared experiences and a chance meeting in Berlin, Ed Prosek and Portair collaborated to create their upcoming single, "a bad dream from an old life." The song delves into the shared yearning for a return to nature, drawing inspiration from Ed's inner country boy, longing to escape the city for something green and to revisit his roots. Reflecting on their rural upbringings from opposite sides of the world, Ed and Portair express a common desire to reconnect with nature. This heartfelt narrative unfolds through Ed's lens: “For me, this song represents my inner country boy longing to escape the city for something green, to return to where everything began. Both Portair and I come from rural upbringings (though from literal opposite sides of the earth) and something we’ve spoken about a lot while writing together is the ever-present wish to return to nature someday." Portair adds his perspective, stating, "This is the second song Ed and I wrote together. After having a conversation about a shared desire to leave the chaos of the big city and someday moving to a calm home in the mountains, this song came together organically. It’s about falling into your inner peace and taking some room to breathe, whether that’s metaphorically or physically." Together, their collaborative effort encapsulates the universal theme of finding solace and tranquility amidst the chaos of modern life.
