about

About THE SUM: For Inês, whom I’ll love until I die... I BREATHE you! A whole lifetime’s love is The Sum of all of this, and more. And isn’t love itself very much like religion? Just as Falling In Love is a matter of brain chemistry, so perhaps is religion, and to be truly humane, both must necessarily go beyond the boundaries of our animal chemistry.

The production credits for this go almost all to Andy Tillison as he redid all the root tracks for this from scratch. Credits also to Renato Bomfim who reassembled the entire demo after a major system crash. Abundant thanks to Paulo Chagas who pointed me in the right direction for some of the vocal arrangements.

lyrics

From the inside of a nightmare
I know yours ain't any better.
Pictures burning fast, but they don't stop.
Taken by the waters I stumble, I turn.
Days are lightning, you scream too fast

Touch sensation, making love and walk on air
Fast elation, silken skin and fragrant hair
Desperation, unaware of stiller ways
Desolation, your absence for a hundred days
Weather station, static waves of undertow
Invocation, monochromatic picture show
Incantation, lover of a thousand lights
Celebration of a million golden nights

Sometimes the heart lies open
Like a flower blessed by rain
These are the moments when we can let go
That’s the moment when some choose God,
And others choose to do good
These are the moments when we can choose
Why give myself to a concept?
Why look so far away?
Why not to choose to love the ones that care?
When this moment came to me,
I knew I was ready to give
And I gave you all my heart

Hold on, you said, but I could not hold myself.
Then leave me, you said, but I'd fallen far behind.
Take me, I said, and your eyes were golden globes.
See now, you said, and filled the darkness of my mind

Believe me, I said,
There shall be no Pavlov love.
Pray hear, she said, no more words of incantation.
Take me, I said and your eyes were golden globes.
See now, you said, and filled the darkness of my mind

The radiance of you, when Orion fills the night
I'll learn the sky anew and I breathe you

Forever
