The song
One of my favourite things to do in music, is to create harmonic contradictions. In this song, I started off with a 90s-inspired hip-hop beat on a prominent bass line. You wouldn't say it's going to be song about love, yet the lyrics create an immediate contradiction. In my opinion, it's always about balance. A contradiction can be created, but it also needs to harmonise at some point. This is why in the pre-chorus, the drums disappear and the bass line is pushed to the background. This makes room for the other instruments, changing the theme to something much more passionate. In the chorus, the bass line is supportive rather than the leading instrument and the resounding guitar sounds create an ambient atmosphere.
I would love to hear how it comes across for you, so please share it with me!
The visuals
I wanted to visualise the energy that I feel when being passionately intimate with the one I love. The dark areas resemble the depth of your feelings and fantasies, the lighter purple areas are the softness and oneness, while the yellowish accents resemble the electricity; the spark.
What do you feel when looking at the visuals?
The lyrics
I never get
You out of my head
Opposite wavelengths
Seem to attract
You feel that beat
Inside your chest
Is it the rhythm
That makes us connect
Your energy is
Pulling me near
Heavy breathing
Close to my ear
Celestial bodies freeze
When our bodies speak
Slow dance with me
Forget earth's rotation speed
Your skin
Longs for my touch
My body's screaming
Adrenaline rush
Your nails leave scratches
Deep in my back
You know what happens
When our planets clash
Your energy is
Pulling me near
Heavy breathing
Close to my ear
Celestial bodies freeze
When our bodies speak
Slow dance with me
Forget earth's rotation speed
Celestial bodies freeze
When our bodies speak
Slow dance with me
Forget earth's rotation speed
