Mystery. Intrigue. A wisdom and beauty beyond this world – and that is just the intro. Somehow the combination of that piano and that voice draw us down into something so unexplainable that is explored but in my opinion never fully resolved when the song ends. The lyrics are sparse and cryptic, the mood sorrowful yet explorative. Je ne sais quoi.
The songs most amazing quality is its ability to make us reflect deeply on ourselves, in a way that our lives actually luminate. What are the deep double-bass longings of my soul? Has that rhythmic drum been playing all this time, all along? What piano-esque soliloquies has my subconscious been hiding from me? Is that the voice of God humming to me? Am I even awake?
Then as the song comes to its ending, the effect is startlingly magic. Your thoughts die down and fade from the picture and there you are, fully present and attentive as you reflect on the final words “So close your eyes and step into the blue of me and you”. Blue happens to be my favourite colour, just saying.
