Deeper Than Love

A raw, introspective indie track capturing the painful realization of a one-sided relationship. With haunting lyrics and a melancholic melody, it reflects the journey of accepting that love was never truly shared, leaving only heartbreak and closure.

This alternative rock track is the fourth movement in the Secrets of the Heart Suite.

Secrets of the Heart Movement 4

Perigee is an album about the moment the world comes too close.
A lunar-paced love story told in quiet weather, it follows two people through the night of a supermoon — from the shock of unexpected brightness to the slow return of distance.
Written in Petrichor’s signature atmosphere of rainlight (soundcloud.com/quantumme/sets/petrichor), wet streets, and soft memory, these tracks trace an orbit of intimacy: closeness, drift, tide, ache, release, return.
It’s an album for the nights when the city glows a little too brightly, for the gravity you feel without touching, and for the simple truth that some connections, like the moon, circle back whether you’re ready or not.
A gentle, cinematic meditation on distance, longing, and the cosmic pull between two people moving through the same sky.

THE DISTANCE BEGINS AGAIN

The hearth is burning bright,
A snowfall soft and light...
The world outside is calm and deep,
While all the world's asleep.

The last train home, the final flight has touched the ground
Through frosty streets, a joyful, hopeful sound
The door swings wide to hugs and cheeks all flushed and red
Unspoken things are better left unsaid (for now)
The scent of fir and gingerbread fills up the air
And for a moment, no one has a care

So let the silent snow lay all our troubles down
In this holy night, let love be all we've found
The world can rest beneath the starry, solemn sky
(Family and friends) are standing by my side
So ring the silver bells, let every choir sing
This is the (true joy) that Christmas brings

Gather 'round the hearth, the light, the evergreen
A living dream, a perfect, peaceful scene
Gather 'round.
(Oh, gather round)

We hang the aging ornaments with careful hands
A history told from boxes, across the lands
The cocoa steams, the carols start, a off-key sound
In mismatched socks, we're dancing 'round and 'round
The weight of years, the little slights, begin to melt
A forgiveness felt, a peace we've never felt

So let the silent snow lay all our troubles down!
In this holy night, let love be all we've found!
The world can rest beneath the starry, solemn sky
(Family and friends) are standing by my side!
So ring the silver bells, let every choir sing!
This is the (true joy) that Christmas brings!

"This time of year... it shines a light. 
On what we've done, and what we've left undone. 
On empty chairs, and mended hearts. 
Look at them now. 
Not through the old hurt, but through the new light. 
Let's make a promise, just for tonight... to let love speak. 
I'm sorry. And I forgive you."
Let love speak... (let it speak)
Let grace be unwrapped... (tonight).

 "Oohs" that mimic church bells. It feels like the snow rings the bells.

(Let it go!) Let the snow lay all our troubles down!
(Hear the angels!) Let this love be all we've found!
The world can rest! 
Beneath with family and friends here by my side!
So ring the bells! (Let every heart sing!)
This is the true joy... the true joy Christmas brings!

As echoes of the carols softly fade
In the gentle peace that Christmas made
(Warm and bright)
We hold it in our hearts so deep
A promise that we're meant to keep
(Goodwill, peace)
Love is here, (love is here)
Hope is here, (hope is here)
Christmas is here.
Hope is here
