WORM - I Take Your Measure
Lyrics:
Instrumental intro

I take your measure
You are unpredictable
You’ve changed right away

When we’re together
Entangled in each other
Things get strange

We want to move now
To a different state of being
It’s a paradox

Energy’s not free
We are feeling subatomic
And you’re here with me

Instrumental outro

Release notes
Tilla gets high on mushrooms and sends a garbled letter back, which initiates intimacy between June and Joe.

Some physics ideas come into focus. Joe sings this song, which marks the flowering of their relationship.

Interesting lyrics. I’m in an uncertain situation so this really drew me in. Nice strum! Soothing vocals.

The guitar is so beautiful. I like that idea of knowing someone intimately makes it impossible to measure them. Highlights out the uselessness of phrases like “but you used to be so X Y or Z”

You always get a very clear sound on your recordings, probably because they're not overcrowded with too many instruments. Lovely tone to the guitar that mixes nicely with the piano. Love the last verse! I want to feel "subatomic." Overall atmosphere of reflective melancholy very nice, like sitting on a porch in the country at 4 p.m.

Physics is weird.
I try to wrap my head around it, but it keeps eluding me.
I've heard that even the "experts" don't really know what's going on.
At least they admit it.
Reading the other comments, I gotta agree with @ttg105 about the clarity of your recordings; never really thought about it until now, but yeah.
Love your guitar.
I like how they're a mile underground, an ICBM has exploded nearby, their wormhole is doing unexpected things, but they still find the time to fall in love.
Another excellent tune here.

I love this simple and down-to-earth lyrical style and the gentleness in this song. Interestingly, I‘ve written a song with mathematical metaphors, which has yet to be recorded. I like that you did something similar with physics.

Another fascinating theme. Uncertainty is a scientific thing, how cool is that?
Brilliant lyrics, mixing physics and poetry with elegance. Your gorgeous guitar work has a powerful soothing effect.
Very nice!
