Beauty
Tryad is a pop music project, one where music is collaboratively composed on the internet. I used a piece of theirs, Beauty, in the first commercial I ever art directed. That song has been stuck in my head for 3 days now, and is set on loop on my iPod.
Beauty carries a certain elegance, a steady poise, that I find very soothing. And it has helped restore some calm in this turbulent period.
Beauty is one of the rare songs I’ve chanced into where the lyrics can’t quite stand alone beyond the realm of the song. When spoken rather than performed, the words take on a different manifestation, conveys a different meaning. When read on the page, the lyrics comes across as a poem of undying love, but when sung, you kinda sense a patient longing that is haunting, almost painful…
There are bits of the song that are beyond my grasps. Actually, the song’s overall message still escapes me. I would love to meet its creator to ask him or her of its true meaning.
Of this I’m fairly certain. That in its essence, you will find beauty, and a certain dignity…
Beauty
horizon swallowed you by
and i was no longer home
a sip, a sin, and a sigh
and we slow danced alone
you smiled somewhere
and our lives changed
i found i could share
the things i never could say
someday
you will find me
and i’ll follow you
endless
together we’ll be
green light across the blue
don’t run
though i’d run anyway
for this love of ours
at peace
shining silver or grey
i’ll join you in the stars
i will find you
ton corps cache
metéore illumine
i will find you
