"The Endless Descent" was inspired by a podcast by physicist Sabine Hossenfelder who talked about time dilation near the powerful forces of a black hole. Each line refers to a physics phenomenon and also mirrors the emotional turmoil of a failing relationship.
lyrics
Gravity's grip slows time to a crawl
On the brink, about to fall
Each second stretches beyond all law
All law
Moments of breaking turn to endless years
Descent eternal, when viewed from here
Red shifted, stretched to the limit
Falling forever
We're in the endless descent
Because we're broken and bent
We want to stop but we can't
We're going down down down
Star-torn bodies, we're pulled apart
Tidal forces tear at our hearts
Past the point of no return, we start
We start
Feel the crushing weight of regret
As time and space begin to break
Can't escape this monster low
Singularity

The music is fantastic and the lyrics are pure topical poetry. Even if this genre of music isn't your thing, you might want to give it a listen to try those lyrics on for size. It might just pull you in! icefoxy

In 2020, I got up early most every morning and walked for miles in the empty streets of my city. I first heard this track on one of those walks. tarnworld

It's hard for me to choose a favorite song from among all the wonderful pieces Ronan has created in recent years. For me, my favorite song is the one you, Ronan, created with your spiritual depth and wonderful voice. The one that touches my heart and soul in a profound way and which I carry with me every day. The one that makes my world a little bit more worth living in. Thank you so much for who you are and what you do! Amenofuri
