Gravity Wing 03:13
Gravity wing Underneath a starry tapestry You swoop in and obscure the stars Cut their light off over me Gravity wing Feathers brushing my heartstrings Metal feathers in the air I don't know what this will bring If I stay Gravity will sway Pulling on my heart Taking me away I don't know What this night will bring What my heart will sing If I can withstand The pull of you 
Gravity wing Shaping space in such a way That I cannot fly away Pulling from my heart a song That is all an era long I cannot escape your grasp For it is my hand you clasp In a certain urgency I cannot withstand The pull of you - Clio Em

Dresses 02:00
I have a wardrobe full of fancy dresses I don't know what to do with them all I have a wardrobe full of fancy dresses They're the colours of the spring and the fall But there's no spring or fall in this place Only the long winter, summer briefly shows her face But I have a wardrobe full of fancy dresses And I'm going to wear one to the ball. I used to say a ball is not my thing I'd rather swing dance in the hall But ever since I met him I've learned to love to dance I'm all about romance, I've grown wings There was that wonderful snow-filled night Under the stars where we took flight And I have a wardrobe full of fancy dresses And I'm going to wear one to the ball. I want to dance with him under the stars Spinning into my reverie I want to fly out over the snow swooping down low Like a raven in spring Spreading her wings - Clio Em

Green 01:55
Green has always been my favourite colour.
 This shade reminds me of the conifer trees 
In the valleys, here in the New Rockies 
 When viewed through falling snow. - Clio Em

Quand les amants Patinant a deux Replissent le soir Des airs joyeux Si tous les voeux Du monde entier Se pouvaient faire Notre realité C'est le joyeux jour C'est le joyeux jour de l'amour. Et quand mon coeur Mon coeur est plein De tout ton être Je prends ta main Si tous mes voeux Se réalisaient Je pourrais prendre Ton coeur entier C'est le joyeux jour C'est le joyeux jour de l'amour. Mais tu t'envoles Tu te dégages De mon balcon Dans les nuages Quand tu t'en vas Tu prends mon ombre Quand tu me manques Je suis plus sombre C'est le joyeux jour C'est le joyeux jour de l'amour. - Clio Em

Orca Smile 01:49
Orca smile it's been a while since you smiled at me Orcas playing in the icy sea Do you miss me? Orca smile What a great name for a cafe I could just sit here all day Thinking of you. Even when you're far away I think of you and I smile inside Even when the miles are wide And distances are deep And I know that it's been a while And I really miss you darling And I'm going to see you soon Kiss you under the gravity wing If we can't have the moon. - Clio Em

Milo and Celestine Lived in the garden among the green Feeding off fairydust Chasing the butterflies they'd seen They never felt the cold Of the great winter outside Their only worry was Finding a good place in the garden to hide. Milo and Celestine Sweet little friends without care Celestine and Milo Sweet little friends without cares in the world Watching the plants as the fern fronds unfurled Around them. Milo and Celestine You'll never know what you are Cats chasing butterflies In a garden that orbits a distant star. - Clio Em

Aria 02:56
The opera house is on fire. When the fire begins to die In the ruins, bitterly I cry. All around the ruins stand. In the ruins, hand in hand. The opera house is on fire. - Clio Em

Borrowed 03:38
Borrowed passages and rooms Where I carve myself some time And I gather borrowed blooms These gray flowers catch my eye. If I see a scrap of sun I will pluck it from the sky. I will keep it for my own Far from home I learn to fly. Fly, little heart I don't know where I'm going in the dark. Fly, up above The planet I am circling, I'll depart Go home But I can't. Now I walk into the room Scattering the blooms around And I read the words you wrote Those same words you read out loud. Little heart you're stuck with me Underneath this borrowed sky. I will keep it for my own Far from home I learn to fly. Fly, little heart I don't know where I'm going in the dark. Fly, up above The planet I am circling, I'll depart Go home But I can't. Little heart, But I can't. - Clio Em

about

Gravity Wing is a science fiction love story told through a novel and soundtrack.

Isabel is offered an artistic residency on the planet of New Canada, but beginning again on a new world proves difficult. Unexpectedly invited to a lavish society event, she meets the taciturn Serge and is swept off her feet under an unfamiliar sky. As Isabel and Serge dance in a sci-fi minuet around their feelings, they face the full force of the young planet's rigid social expectations.
