about

Recorded LIVE at Infiniti Studios in April 2016.

Sometimes, everything happens all at once and it seems as though the powers that be have an upper hand in deciding the fate of any given situation. “Universe, be damned” is a reflective piece, exploring the notion of serendipity and coincidence while asking the question, is there something bigger and more powerful at play in these moments of such obvious fortuity?

lyrics

The universe acts in funny ways
These days are not the days for us
And although I know we live under the same sun
These moments are too perfect to only be for fun

And if the shore will be the wall between your world and mine
Land lover, heart breaker, eternal love divine
I'll come close to the shore, I'll wave and I'll shout
But in the morning, I know, I'm alone and I'll be fine

Who are you to oversee these constant reminders
Where do you hide to allow the night to reprimand me

I never thought we could come back from this
Dream maker, heart wrencher, eternal love be kind
I never thought we'd build a fortress like this
Lover of time, lover of mine, be free from the mind

Who are you to oversee these constant reminders
Where do you hide to allow the night to reprimand me
