about
Cerian's fourth single "Our Love Is", featuring Robert Taira Wilson.
"Our Love Is" is a celebration of love and light. In "Our Love Is", Cerian was inspired by the romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and quotes passages of his poem ‘To Jane: The Recollection.’ The poem describes a moment of peace and delight during a difficult emotional period, and "Our Love Is" is a similarly celebratory reflection upon the light found in love. The first three singles from Cerian’s Caught in the Dark EP have explored the colours within the darkness, and the whole EP charts the journey of a search for light. Cerian’s previous single “Caught in the Dark” ended with a ray of hope in its last line “I felt the sunrise from a darkened cry”; "Our Love Is" picks up from this point and represents the lightest moment on the EP, both thematically and sonically.
lyrics
OUR LOVE IS - lyrics
by CERIAN
Time before I knew you is time I didn't know
How you could make the time stand still,
And never let it go.
Suddenly out of the dark, and out of the crowd,
Suddenly out of a spark, I didn’t know how
It seemed as if the hour were one, sent from beyond the skies
Which scattered from above the sun a light of paradise.
For our love is a firmament of light, you know,
Our love is more boundless than the depths of night,
And our love is where I’ll lay me down to stay because
Our love is purer than the day.
Sing to me, sing to me more:
Our love is strong, our love is sure.
Sing to me, sing to me more:
Our love is strong, our love is sure.
Time before I knew you is time I couldn't see
How dark could make a brighter light
Yet to be.
Suddenly out of the dark, and out of the now,
Suddenly out of my heart, I didn’t know how
It seemed as if the hour were one, sent from beyond the skies
Which scattered from above the sun a light of paradise.
For our love is a firmament of light, you know,
Our love is more boundless than the depths of night,
And our love is where I’ll lay me down to stay because
Our love is purer than the day.
Sing to me, sing to me more:
Our love is strong, our love is sure.
Sing to me, sing to me more:
Our love is strong, our love is sure.
Sing to me,
Oooh, sing to me,
Ooooh, ooooh.
It seemed as if the hour were one, sent from beyond the skies
Which scattered from above the sun a light of paradise.
For our love is a firmament of light, you know,
Our love is more boundless than the depths of night,
And our love is where I’ll lay me down to stay because
Our love is purer than the day.
Sing to me, sing to me more:
Our love is strong, our love is sure.
Sing to me, sing to me more:
Our love is strong, our love is sure.
For our love is a firmament of light, you know,
Our love is more boundless than the night.
