about

"Soft Collision" is the story of two hearts melting together. It was originally based on an older love song and was slightly rewritten to match Lilou and John’s relationship of ups and downs. ”Love”, they say, ”is an adrenaline rush for the young, and a lifetime commitment for the old, but you have to work hard. Things don’t come easy.” Lilou says she sang in a way she had never sung before. ”It was like I was breathing the words, like I was breathing air from a cloud.”

lyrics

A touch he would never regret
He felt that day in june
At the door when she gave him a kiss

Skin soft like a feather
Touched his fragile lips
And he felt the soft collision of their tongues

Her arms
His skin
Nothing between
Just love at first sight

Summer came to split them
One month is eternity
For two that want to be one

Every time he closed his eyes
She was close to him
And he sucked her fragrance into his lungs

Her arms
His skin
Nothing between
Just love at first sight

Union day was close
But seemed more far away
For every day it wouldn’t come

She sent him a postcard
From far far away
And he knew a new life had begun

Her arms
His skin
Nothing between
Just love at first sight

Her arms
His skin
Nothing between
Just love at first sight

Just love at first sight
