What Is Love? (Opus) is a cinematic western-soul anthem — a track that asks and answers the question of love with grandeur, grit, and grace. Built on a foundation of piano, tremolo guitar, and upright bass, the song grows into a widescreen soundscape with bold brass fanfares, gospel-tinged choir shouts, orchestral strings, and the haunting voice of a nyckelharpa weaving through the mix.
Lyrically, it strips love of clichés and offers it as action — a vow, a daily choice, a bridge that binds many into one. Its message is universal and secular, written to inspire: love is not just a feeling, but the courage to rise, to stay, and to rebuild.

This is not minimalism — this is a soul anthem at the edge of a western horizon, full of drama, heartbreak, and redemption. The choir and brass don’t just support; they lead the emotion, creating a track that feels as vast as the desert sky and as intimate as a single hand extended in kindness.

For Curators: What Is Love? (Opus) combines the emotional weight of gospel with the cinematic sweep of orchestral soul. It is motivational, inclusive, and timeless — a track designed to resonate in playlists and on radio alike, where its hook, “Love is a verb, a vow, a way — Do. Stay. Rise.” becomes both mantra and refrain.

Lyrics: 
---------
i call to mind
a love that fades
your pink cashmere 
summer nights
ur mommas house 
a place to hide
i kissed u there
u opened wide

u must know
that i miss ur stare
u mesmerized
me daily
u must know
that i miss u here
hypnotize me

u sang to me
an eye to eye
a melody 
so undefined
i met u in the velvet light
who knew we'd someday say goodnight

u must know
that i miss ur stare
u mesmerized
me daily
do u recall
when i kissed u there
hypnotise me
