"Queer people have taught me more about life than anyone else," says Plasma of the single in a statement. "Funny how those that are forced to live as outliers in the societal equation have a more varied life experience, innit?… Food for thought. In the meantime, sit back, relax, and let J. Harrison Ghee and I guide you through this Sinatra-style mindfulness meditation."
