A recollection and contemplation of the emotional aspects of the endeavours as described in the track title. The difficulties of letting go of emotional attachments - even those of a questionable nature... B+B
Sordid Affair is taken from The Inevitable End, the new album by Röyksopp. More information and links to listen and buy here: royksopp.com/music/the-inevita...

Sordid Affair features vocals by Ryan from Man Without Country:

Lyrics
There was a time…
Dark and devine…
Exciting and new.
shameful and true…
Free to explore,
we had it all:
Towering trust,
insatiable lust…
Clouding the truth,
both of us knew:
this sordid affair
is ending in tears…
Yes, we would go on,
knowing the wrong.
Until the day,
it was taken away…
Oh, all our love
fell down
to earth…
Here, broken and cold…
With grave remorse…
But for a while
it all made sense…
It might have been just a dark pretence,
but you had me…
And I loved it…
To be with you,
to be the one,
to live a lie,
it really got me all excited…
I felt wanted…
Then in the night,
the sorrow inside,
was taken away,
deliverance came…
Fell from the sky,
heaven replied…
Salvation in streams,
silent and clean…
All that we were,
all that we knew,
faded away,
with tears in the rain…
yes, all that we were,
all that we knew
is fading away,
like tears in the rain…
All that we were,
all that we knew…
…fading away…
All that we were,
all that we knew…
…fading away…

this song reminds me of my late wife. It ended in tears for me. I knew she was sick. I lived that lie that she wasnt going to outlive me. It made me excited for the future, for our future. It all made sense for a while. It was a dark pretense... I knew she was sick. I knew she would not live, I ignored it... I didn't want to see it. I couldn't or wouldn't see it. To be the one, to be with her, I felt wanted. but in the night... deliverance came. All that we knew... all that we were... fading away. Now, I'm falling out of the sky... like so many tears in the rain. My Love fell gently into the earth, cold, broken, Grave, ...Remorse. I miss here so much. I miss here so... so... much.

I just discovered this track on a shared playlist and I spent the entirety of last night listening to it on repeat because I had no other choice but to hear more and more of this. There are so many layers, the mood, the tone, the cadence, the sentiment is absolutely astounding. I got chills, but not superficially - chills from my core outward to all parts of my body, deeply. I have never experienced anything like that and I am so happy to find this. Overjoyed.

There was a time, dark and divine, Exciting and new, shameful and true Free to explore we had it all. Towering trust, insatiable lust Clouding the truth both of us knew This sordid affair is ending in tears Yes we must go on knowing the wrong Hunting the day it was taken away Oh, all our love fell down to Earth. Here, broken and cold, with great remorse Before a while it all made sense It might have been just a dark pretence But you had me And I love it To be with you, to be the one, To live a lie It really got me all excited. I felt wanted Then in the dark a sorrowing sigh Was taken away. Deliverance came Fell from the sky. Heaven replied Salvation in strings, silent and clean.
