Are Infinities Finite?

Liner Notes
I have just got back from a week away and am very relaxed. Perhaps this is why this song has come out of me. I found an interesting starting chord which sounded a bit jazzy and it all happened from there. The lyrics mean absolutely nothing but has some nice little lines in it here and there. I really enjoyed making this.
Lyrics
Are infinities finite? Which came first, Day or night? Are infinities finite? If only you could see yourself through my eyes, New ingredients for your nightmares.
Looking for something that’s new, Another way to think about, Come in and meet minds that bring you, All the things you’ve been looking for, Nothing can take it’s time, Relativity is nothing new, (Unless you give it something to compare it to).
New ingredients for your nightmares, Take your time, Wait for me to get there…
Are infinities finite? Which came first, Day or night? Are infinities finite? If only you could see yourself through my eyes, New ingredients for your nightmares. Take your time, Wait for me to get there…

Sounds like you're listening to me thoughts. I have many weird questions worth thinking. I especially enjoyed the soft ending. Sounds like falling asleep
As for your questions ... Are infinites finite? Yes and no. They are countable infinites and infinites whose cardinality is infinite themselves. Its tough to prove but quite interesting that there are different types of infinity... #tit4tat
This is so sweet and lovely, and the singing is absolutely great. I like the softness of the whole thing. What I like is the change of pace between the intro and the core, and he core and the ending. I like the constant switching between the major-7th chord and the basic triad, this makes a constant switch of tension <--> resolution, ebb and flow, lifting and falling kinda feel.
The title made me click, 'cause math. You say the lyrics don't really have meaning, but I liked it nonetheless and I like the touch of #science here and there, I somehow really liked the relativity joke (the part in brackets), and the unusual stressing of 'ingredients'.
But my favorite touch is maybe the #harmonica . I haven't heard those a lot, and I love how it becomes a second voice in the ending.
I can answer your second question. Night! Photons did not exist until a while after the big bang. 😉 For the first, ask a mathematician. Their concept of different infinities is way beyond me. "Relativity is nothing new, (Unless you give it something to compare it to)." I LOL'd at that.
I love the jazzy vibe and I adore how you build the production with the layer additions. The shifting dynamics and the harmony vocals works so well!
Love it!
Wonderful! I love the musical energy, vibe and the personal lyrics. I love the questions presented. Also...Thank you for commenting on my song La Madrugada Tucsonense.
posing yourself mathematical dilemmas as a prompt for a song is always a great start. lots of lovely harmonic material going on in this with a super tuneful vocal performance. as the textures grow through the song with the backing vocals and the harmonica it really is beautiful to behold. really nice write.
Really love this lyric and your vocal delivery. There is space where it’s needed, there is lift when needed. The accompaniment on guitar is carrying it really nicely, it lets the lyric and vocal shine. Nice job - I particular like the line ‘Day or night, which came first’
The upbeat jazzy feel is entrancing; it's demands the listener's attention, but also has a relaxed feel that's rather soothing (even if the "new ingredients for you nightmares" line is a bit ominous!). A swell listen for just chilling out and experiencing the flows of the song.
Yes, there is a wonderful relaxed feel to this, vocally and musically. That finger-picking at the beginning is glorious. Your vocal delivery is laid back and reflective. The strummed chord progression sounds great. I particularly like the chord you settle on after the phrase "Wait for me to get there". Such a nice vibe to the outro too.
