Beyond A Shadow Of A Doubt

This is simply one of my all time favourite songs. Written and sung by Homesong performer Aaron English.

Such profound insight into our lives today. It capture the essence of what it means to be human, in an age when our technological and scientific progress becomes ever faster. Faster than we can ever hope to keep up.

Perhaps we should all spend more of our time simply bathing, in an un-rushed, leisurely kind of way, in the pure and wondrous mystery of it all.

The science of love
The biology of trust
The chemistry of you and me
The probability of us
There are times when I feel sure
We got each other figured out
Know what this mystery’s about
Beyond a shadow of a doubt

This experiment of us
My crooked to your straight
We take two bodies made of stardust
Fill them with courage and with faith
Then we stumble through the darkness
So certain and so proud
Yeah, that we can figure this thing out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Beyond a shadow of a doubt

What kind of scientists are we?
To believe so eagerly
Pulled by some force we cannot see
As if love was gravity
Yeah, to believe so eagerly
Pulled by some force we cannot see
Deep into this mystery

See how the city glows
All lit up by our fears and hopes
Out in the streets the traffic flows
Like atoms spinning in the dark
All ablaze with us
The particles and waves of us
The hopeful and the lonely hearts
They spin together in the dark
This experiment of us
It flickers in the night
We’ve discovered electricity
Now we shine with our own private light
We trust what we don’t understand

Oh, what kind of scientists are we?
To believe so eagerly
Pulled by some force we cannot see
As if love was gravity
To feel this electricity
This force we cannot see
What shall we call this mystery?
I hope we never figure out
What this mystery’s about
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
