Who Knows 03:12
INTRO Careful little angel… VERSE I How long is forever Patience isn’t my strong suit How long is forever Can we even try to construe Right now… I can feel it it’s my time I’mma make it… this reality is mine Careful little angel, don’t you aim too high Hide inside a dream and life will pass you by Careful little angle, don’t you aim too high If you cry to heaven, you might break the sky CHORUS Who knows… Does it even really matter Who knows… If I had to guess… VERSE II How long is forever Has anybody tried to measure How long is forever Has anybody tried to answer We live on… In this life and the next life Some believe we live on We’ll never get to see the new beginning If I had the answers they would soon fade away A fresh start comes without a yesterday Living in the moment is the stroke I chose Maybe even time is an illusion so CHORUS Who knows… Does it even really matter Who knows… If I had to guess, I’d say it’s all a test run BRIDGE Ok. All I know is that your confidence brings out the best in me Label it quantum entanglement or just your energy Maybe we’re the same, two souls made together laced with unity Even in a former life you gravitated towards me VERSE III How far is tomorrow How much time is left before I grieve You just got a letter Immigration’s asking you to leave Can we make it If we are destiny, you will return to me Can we make it Maybe we’ll endure and it won’t be so bad...

about

It took Dark Light over 2 years to independently produce and refine their debut album, "Loin de toi," a multi-genre experience that tells the story of two young lovers and their long-distance journey through 15 unique original songs.

The listener is privy to an intimate conversation between a couple on a date at a large venue where they will watch a show entitled "Loin de toi." The show is divided into three acts, each representing a chapter in the story line: from the departure/separation of the lovers, to their long-distance relationship, and the eventual joyful return.

This piece weaves together tracks from a number of genres with sophistication, including R&B, Ratchet, Hip-Hop, Afro-Beat, House, Pop, EDM, and even Rock. There is something for everyone, and each sound is fitting for the part of the tale it tells.

Enjoy the show...
