A Mysterious Force
by @ayais
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

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

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 '

I just enjoy listening to your songs, no smart comments just enjoying them.

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.
