THERE’S A DREAM I KEEP HAVING WHERE I’M PACKING UP ALL OF MY THINGS AND BELONGINGS TO MOVE INTO A NEW HOME BUT IN THE DREAM I CAN NEVER SAY EXACTLY WHERE IT IS I’M MOVING AND IT ALWAYS SEEMS I’M NEVER ABLE TO FIT EVERYTHING IN. NEVER ENOUGH SUITCASES OR BOXES I DON’T KNOW I GET SO HUNG UP BECAUSE I HAVE TO TOSS THAT TEENY SKETCH ON THE BACK OF A RECEIPT I KEPT FOR SOME SENTIMENTAL VALUE FROM WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD AN IDEA DURING A CUP OF COFFEE

about

The First Full Length Record from Vim (AKA Sam Berman). Join Vim as they recall the events and trials of a couple years of life, told through the format of an audio-fantasy-pop adventure. So get in the right mood, do what you need to do, and enjoy the adventure, because it is only getting started... But first, we start with a Walk in the Woods.

A LETTER FROM VIM:
Hello everyone on bandcamp! It has been a year and a half of work on this project and I am finally excited to share it with you all. I wanted to say a huge thank you for anyone who has supported my musical endeavors since I started this project up, whether you have gone to shows, listened to my music, or have supported my artistic efforts in any way shape or form! Thank you to my Mom and Dad for raising and nurturing my imaginative soul, to all the teachers who helped me find a voice, to all the friends who have stuck around or came into my life through high and low points, and to the legends of music whose art has urged me to explore this path of creation.
So put on your listening ears, get comfortable and relaxed, and enjoy going with me on a Walk in the Woods.
Much Love,
Sam Berman (VIM)
