Weightless from Weightless by Dave Manington
Weightless
I find the idea of space travel and the infinite vastness of the universe fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. We try and capture some of the strange otherworldliness of floating free of the Earth’s gravity in this piece. There are themes running through the album, themes of contrast between freedom/isolation, loss/hope, momentum/inertia. The freedom to float untethered in space versus the crushing weight of daily earthly life.

Lyrics
WEIGHTLESS
Floating in between your selves
Catch a breath,
Stand still,
No falling out.
A moment left far behind
Lift weight off my chest
Laughter bound in this nest.
Down below,
Journeying to find your other world
High above any ground
Lighter than you’ll ever be
Defying gravity
