about

NYC based indie art pop outfit herMajesty draws inspiration from artists including David Bowie, The Church and Arcade Fire. Its new single “Weightless” paints a romantic picture with a post-disco backbeat and a classic musical arrangement that invokes a lush, cinematic vibe while its soaring refrain “Weightless, we are weightless,” makes it an instant pop anthem. The track was written over the course of four years and recorded in locations across the globe: Brooklyn, Rochester, Cleveland, Athens, Greece; Wellington, New Zealand and mixed in Berlin by Giovanni Nicoletta (My Brightest Diamond, Apparat). “Weightless” is a paean on life, love, and death and its lyrics touch on the limitations that we impose on ourselves, and our capacities to live intimate, loving lives. T There is an allusion to the “ultimate” letting go in the “icy clothe”, “mourning chimes”, and “fading sun” and the refrain of “we are weightless,” is an allegory to the unbearable lightness of being.

lyrics

Let the colors and the scent
Settle on your skin
When you can’t breathe
When you can’t breathe.
Let the yellow lilac and
The brooding rose,
Pull you in,
This violet dream.

Pull you in,
Pull me in.

Let your soul
Take flight away from here
And flow into the sound
Away from here.
Diving for pearls
While gasping for air
In this blind, desperate,
Nothingness.

Pull me in,
Pull you in

Weightless
You know we are weightless
Above these concrete walls,
You know we are weightless.

Breathe with me
Unitl the tidal wave subsides
And we can be
Skeletal free.

The icy clothe my love,
The mourning chimes,
The fading sun,
We fall into its depth.

Weightless
You know we are weightless
Above these concrete walls,
You know we are weightless
Weightless – we are weightless
