I feel him tug my heartstrings His fingers pluck the melodies Part of the cosmic fugue now Melding into everything Turn away our daily cares and Let the music soothe our souls And the notes that he’s playing Combine with mine to make us whole Music is magic I feel it moving me Music has the power To set our souls free In the quiet of the night All alone in our room While the world is fast asleep now He and I compose this tune Music is magic I feel it moving me Music has the power To set our souls free Free I feel him tug my heartstrings His fingers pluck the melodies Part of the cosmic fugue now Melding into everything Music is magic I feel it moving me Music has the power To set our souls free To set our souls free To set our souls free Music is magic I feel it moving me

His fingers pluck the melodies Melding into everything (x2) I feel him tug my heartstrings His fingers pluck the melodies Part of the cosmic fugue now Melding into everything Turn away our daily cares and Let the music soothe our souls And the notes that he’s playing Combine with mine to make us whole Music is magic I feel it moving me Music has the power To set our souls free Free In the quiet of the night All alone in our room While the world is fast asleep now He and I compose this tune Music is magic I feel it moving me Music has the power To set our souls free Guante Rap: The first time I called the spirit it was 1985 It was hiding in the harmony, riding the baseline Didn’t know then, still really don’t know what to say I can only assume that its divine Listen There’s a point in the acapella rendition of “Its So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday” Where I swear to ya’ll if you just listen hard enough There’s another voice lower than the bass And I can’t quite hear the lyrics that it’s singing But it doesn’t really matter anyway Because I know who it is and where it comes from And everything that its got to say And I don’t go to church, I sleep in these days And I hear the word as that mp3 plays Reaching a spiritual climax and witnessing Intelligent design in the snare bass and high hat There’s something bigger than music, bigger than humans Its moving with truth and using the energy it’s infused with I’m usually not religious, but listening to it, time stops Coz that’s the whispering of God in your iPod (end rap) Music is magic I feel it moving me Music has the power To set our souls free Free

about

Part Dream Pop, part Americana, the new single from Lovespirals is considerably more upbeat than "Brother Against Brother," the first single. Ryan juxtaposes driving blues riffs and dreamy shoegazer guitar, finding a delicious balance between his earlier Love Spirals Downwards work and more recent Lovespirals work. Anji's vocals exude the confidence born from years of familiarity with the material, with a lovely harmony of her natural earthy tone and haunting upper register.

"Heartstrings" is a lovely high point in the tracklisting for their upcoming 5th album, which promises to be quite dark. It's a celebration of the duo's creative connection and the love that goes into their music. The music video is a beautiful representation of the song, shot during the height of California wildflower season. The single's cover art hearkens from the video shoot, as well.

This song has been 12 years in the making, beginning as a collaborative idea between Lovespirals and indie electronica duo, Beauty's Confusion. The song was based around an acoustic guitar loop of Ryan, to which Chris of BC added beats and a Johnny Mars-esque electric guitar. The project came to an standstill over artistic differences, and in 2005 Anji sent her vocal files to DJ Pain 1 to gauge interest in the project. He quickly created a demo, featuring an amazing rap with his friend Guante. He wasn't satisfied with the mix, however, and his version fell by the wayside, as well. In 2007, Anji resuscitated the project as the theme song to a music podcast, enlisting Ryan to add his signature guitar leads to the original demo and to professionally record the chorus vocals for a shortened edit. The song lay dormant, once again, until production on Anji's first solo record began in 2010. She was determined to create the definitive version of "Heartstrings," building upon the 2007 version. The ensuing recording had such a strong Lovespirals vibe that it was decided to hold onto the cut until the band was ready to release their next album.

And that brings us to this single…
