‘Romance’ in the Light and Dark
The song’s instrumental begins with a light, pulsating synth, that keeps the listener company for the first half of the song. A soothing voice rounds out the instrumental, singing about the ephemeral nature of falling in love at first sight. The mood captures the airiness of the honeymoon phase and an impulse to simply live in the moment.
It captures the ultimate transcendence of a single moment.
But soon this ‘Romance’ blooms and becomes more heavy and emotionally charged. This somewhat abrupt tone shift is highlighted by a modulation in the key, and a different voice taking over the vocals. The mood becomes a bit deeper and darker, holding a different sort of tonal charge.
‘Romance’ becomes a different song, with lyrics that are a bit more melancholic. They seem a bit sadder, while the instrumentation introduces heavier rhythms and tones. The lightness has faded and become more grounded in an emotional wave of melancholy.
A pause then:
Both moods coalesce in the end, separated by the sound of tape being inserted into a tape recorder. The light and melancholic instrumentals meld to form a synergetic blend of the lightness of the honeymoon phase and the deep melancholic tones of deeper love.
‘Romance’ by VortexOvVision could either be telling the story of two distinct stages of love or highlighting the different ways people can love each other. Either way, the song is a relaxing, ambient listen that takes its listeners on a journey.
