Let me tell you the magic tale
Of the girl who faced her fate sublime
When she went out one night to post her mail
And understood her place in space and time
She looked up at the sky on that cloudless night
And peered into infinity
The deepest darkest mass if it weren't for lights
Crowding her vicinity
(Because like delights in like)

She was the girl with the celestial soul
She was the girl with the celestial soul
She was the girl with the celestial soul
She was the girl with the celestial soul

With family and friends she had to bluff
Not to scare them with what they wouldn't know
Such as the fact that we are made of star stuff
From our heads down to our toes.
But then just like a star that will grow cold
Her brightness both a blessing and a curse 
She burned out into a big black hole
Trailblazing through the multiverse
(Yes she did, because…)

She was the girl with the celestial soul
She was the girl with the celestial soul 
She was the girl with the celestial soul
She was the girl with the celestial soul

And I've got to see that girl again

She was both starlight and dark night
Unfathomable and bright
The cosmetics on her face
Revealed the cosmic depth of space

Passion at a Distance

The Girl with the Celestial Soul

Where can you be? Darling, where can you be?

Verse 1
In one dimension it's a single dot
In two dimensions it's the longest shot
In three dimensions it's the shortest route
The fourth dimension does not follow suit
For if my sense of time differs from yours
Then there's no telling when I'll reach your shores

Chorus 1
But 'til we meet again I will not rest
(I'll be on my way)
I'll find the geodesic to your love
Like planes that go up North to go far West
(I'll be on my way)
I'll ride a geodesic to your love

Verse 2
Your body heat, its taste of gin and lime
I miss the way it used to warm my marrow
I know I can't turn back the hands of time
But I am sure that I can bend its arrow
And there is nothing even Cupid could do
I'll bend it 'til it circles back to you, 'cause

Chorus 2
Until we meet again I will not rest
(I'll be on my way)
I'll find a geodesic to your love
Like my lips in orbit around your breast, yeah
(I'll be on my way)
I'll ride a geodesic to your love

Geodesic to your love
Geodesic to your love

Verse 3
Out of sight and mind have I wandered
Or has my absence made your heart grow fonder?
In any case,
I hope the line is getting thinner and thinner
Between what's real and what's been on my mind
Like Joey Dosik wishing for game winners
I dream that I can see the stars align
And trace trajectories through the heavens above 
Like geodesics leading back to your love, oh-ho!

Choruses 1 and 2
Until we meet again I will not rest
(I'll be on my way)
I'll find the geodesic to your love, hey
Like planes that go North to go far West
(I'll be on my way)
I'll ride a geodesic to your love
Until we meet again I will not rest
(I'll be on my way)
I'll find a geodesic to your love
Like my lips in orbit around your breast
(I'll be on my way)
I'll ride a geodesic to your love.

PASSION AT A DISTANCE

Geodesic

My first ever live EP is out now! It was recorded in my hometown, which I had not visited for 10 years!
I had been wanting to record a live EP for a long time, as my love for the guitar was born listening to great live albums like Stevie Ray Vaughan in Montreux, Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys, or AC/DC live at Donington. I feel nostalgic for the time when live albums were rough moments of truth, without in-ear devices, click tracks or pre-recorded vocals. Sometimes the tempo fluctuated, the guitars were slightly out of tune, or the singers forgot their lyrics, but that was part of the vibe, and the authenticity of a feverish moment. For my homecoming, I wanted to immortalize such a moment, with all due sincerity. So please enjoy this rough and raw recording as my pledge of honesty to you.
All best,
LC.
