about

Astronomical Love is a metaphor-packed story about discovering an out-of-this-world love. Samantha’s emotionally captivating vocal performance is lifted by spacey guitar parts, romantic piano, and sweeping background vocals. Supported by a cast of phenomenal musicians and close friends, this dreamy power ballad was inspired by the divas of the 1990s and envelopes listeners in a larger-than-life mix. Lyrically poetic, this song is the perfect soundtrack for moments where love speaks the loudest.

ASTRONOMICAL LOVE
© 2020 Samantha Marie Schultz (Music and Lyrics)

[VERSE 1]
I’ve never seen the stars glow purple
The way they do when I look at you
I’ve never heard the wind spin circles
Like it does when you walk in the room
I never thought a love like this would be mine
I never thought that I would find you in time but ooh
Boy did you ever come through

[VERSE 2]
I’ve never seen the ocean stand still
Like time when I’m in your arms
And the beauty of the greatest sunset
Could never shine as bright as you are
You are my real time living Cloud Nine
You’re the blood in my veins, a love lifeline, just ooh
Boy you’re a dream come true

[PRE-Chorus 1]
But what do I do when I run out of words
When my hands can’t move and my eyes get blurred
If I lost my voice, could you find me in a crowd?

[Chorus]
Up so high
I pray that you won’t drop me
Love’s delight
Enchanted by your heavenly body
Drawn to you
Like the planets need the sun
What a dream to float in your atmosphere
With the constellations you’ve made for us here
Gravity never give up
On this astronomical love

[VERSE 3]
I’ve always wanted something like this
Made a wish on all shooting stars
I’ve always wanted just that one kiss
When your heart sprouts wings and can soar
Always thought I’d be lost among the clouds
A balloon flying high just to come back down, but ooh
Boy I fell into you

[PRE-Chorus 2]
But what do I do when I run out of words
When my hands can’t move and my eyes get blurred
If I lost my voice, could you find me in a crowd?

[Chorus]
Up so high
I pray that you won’t drop me
Love’s delight
Enchanted by your heavenly body
Drawn to you
Like the planets need the sun
What a dream to float in your atmosphere
With the constellations you’ve made for us here
Gravity never give up
On this astronomical love

[BRIDGE]
I had gone full supernova
Nothing left, my life was over (I have love)
I had gone full supernova
Had heartache overexposure (I have love)
I had gone full supernova
Space dust that had got no closure (I have love)
I had gone full supernova
But you found the beauty in my smolder

[ALT PRE-Chorus]
So I’m scared what to do when I run out of words
When my hands can’t move and my eyes get blurred
But when I lost my voice, you found me in the crowd

[ALT Chorus]
Up so high
I know that you won’t drop me
Love’s delight
Enchanted by our heavenly body
Drawn to you
Like the planets need the sun
What a dream to float in your atmosphere
With the constellations you’ve made for us here
Gravity never give up
Woah I said gravity never give up
On this astronomical love
