All Too Soon 04:04
Have you ever fallen Into an inner void? Is the sound of silence All you hear? Is it day or night? Is it anything between? I have to know! Is it love or hate? We can’t live forever If we could we would Be as one together Ah ha ha All too soon we will be gone Do you feel like I do Abandoned from it all? Is a growing darkness All you see ? Is it day or night? Is it love or hate? Is it anything between? We can’t live forever If we could we would Be as one together Ah ha ha All too soon we will be gone We can’t live forever Be as one together We can’t live forever We can’t live forever

You draw me in,  You pull me down A rose behind all those many thorns Tears of a silent rain falling  Leading me back to you   Through the dusk, into the dark night You draw me in,  You pull me down A rose behind all those many thorns  In the gloaming  All the shadows they fall In the moonlight All the stars are aligned For you For me  For us to see  You draw me in,  You pull me down A rose behind all those many thorns  In the gloaming  In the twilight Will I find a way? You draw me in,  You pull me down A rose behind all those many thorns 

about

Copenhagen Denmark’s master of melding melody with the ethereal, Anders Trentemøller, will release “All Too Soon,” the new single from his sixth studio album, Memoria, on October, 15th. It’s a sensory sojourn that lives in the fleeting space where transience and the terrestrial meet.

Once again Lisbet Fritze’s elegantly commanding voice delivers the narrative in a clear expression of unanimity with Trentemøller’s music and lyrics. Trentemøller's distinctive style of combining textures is, of course, present. Dry drums meet headlong with sumptuous reverb trails, feedback stabs antagonize lush passages, and whip cracks of spring reverb commingle with tambourine as percussive flourishes, all directed by a simple, circular, guitar figure that pivots to a majestic bell peal at the chorus.

“All Too Soon” examines ostensibly diametric relationships of light and dark, life and death, day and night, love and hate, while actually presenting them as dualistic, and symbiotic, influencing each other as they interrelate. What might appear to be a
dispiriting take on our mortality could just as easily be interpreted as its acceptance being liberating.

We can’t live forever
If we could we would
All too soon we will be gone

That’s quite a lot to pack into a four minute pop song. Perhaps, though, by the time the song abruptly implodes, the listener is left with a feeling that while it’s guaranteed we will eventually all
shake off this mortal coil, maybe our time here is just an interstitial part of an eternal arc, masquerading as a finite frame.
