Arther Blue – Parallelogram (Spotify)
“A warm summer breeze between soft silky sheets, while embracing your lover. Arther Blue has done it, captured the essence of sensuality on this track. ”
-Nagamag.com
Parallelogram is a haunting folk ballad anchored by sparse guitar movements. Lyrically, Parallelogram is a looping meditation on intimacy. The song admits a deep sense of yearning to fully know and be known by someone, while recognizing the impossibility of truly being one with someone. Nevertheless, Arther celebrates that two lives can run parallel and finds joy in those brief moments of near-total understanding between two lovers. The instrumentals illustrate this theme as well — the guitar shifts between two parallel chords that share no notes in common, yet together evoke a profound sense of bittersweet joy.
