Making the Cliché of 'Love' Different and "Original"?
Art of Noise - Moments In Love
Supposedly, the obscure song was created based on a study that when you are with the person you truly love, your heart will beat at a certain, rapid rate. If you are wearing over-ear headphones (with good sound-canceling technology) at the same moment that your love for your partner is strongest, your hearing will be magnified ever so slightly. The seemingly random 'turtle' noise in the middle of the song will sound coherent and the lyrics will be the same as the ones in bold, below. (There is another version of the song where the lyrics are clear to showcase exactly what the sound is supposed to be, but I can't find that version). Even though very few people have attested to this actually working, I have never heard a song that attempted to do something so original with a topic that is so steeped in clichés. To make it even more interesting, the album began recording on leap year and finished on April Fool's day. Several myths have concerned the day of the finished product. Regardless of how farfetched or implausible this concept may seem, I have never heard of any song attempted to accomplish such a feat while managing to produce sounds that are absolutely phenomenal, IMO. Easily my favorite song of all time since before I was a teen and definitely the most improvisational as well.

Moments
Moments
In Love
In Love
In Love
Moments
In
Love
In
Love
In
Love
In...
Fuse is lit
Now the fuse is lit
(Now) The art, the art
(Now) The noise, the noise
(Now) The sound, the sound
The noise, the noise
The noise, the noise
The sound, the sound
The art, the art
The noise, the noise
The sound, the sound
The sound, the sound
Go ahead now, it's bed time
