FAWM: "A Mysterious Force"

A Mysterious Force

Liner Notes

In these first few days of February I'm away from a real studio and busy, so I'm putting up songs I wrote and recorded a few weeks ago.

This is a song from a nascent musical - The Worm - with two physicists working deep underground on a portal to the future. They eventually make a text and capsule-only connection to a couple some generations away.

In this little waltz before that connection, June begins to realize it's time to grow and allow herself to build a real relationship with someone.

She and Joe are just getting to know each other. Both their pasts have been rocky. She acknowledges her remoteness and hiding in her work.

I sing the song here, but it's really June's tune.

Lyrics

Love’s a mysterious force
That captures my attention
Like gravitation

I’ll resist the waves
That push us apart
With darker motives

I’ll stand against hate
Close my suitcase
Of disappointment

A strong nuclear bond
Strengthens the attraction
In a new dimension

Instrumental

I’ll stand and fight
Cut through the fog
Of what’s left unspoken

To face the truth
To drop the avoidance
Open my heart

Love’s a mysterious force
That captures our attention
Like gravitation

The context in the liner notes helps here. The song fits as a musical exposition, more so than a stand-alone. Clean backing and a nice melody.

Nice instrumentation! Makes it sound like the characters are dancing a waltz. What is that metal-type thing? The acoustic leads are tasty.

Beautiful lyrics and song. So very soothing. I like the arrangement of guitar and vocals. Am looking forward to the collab with you, very much so!

This is a really nice delivery - the metaphors are exactly what you would expect a scientist to use for love - my favourite line is 'cut through the fog of what's left unspoken '
