about

This is about a birth, and the triad of Joseph, María, and Jesus. The virgin birth symbolizes to me the world being created out of nothing; the first sound; the beginning of everything out of nothing. The saxophone plays the intro alone, representing virgin conception. The cue to bring the band in is the implantation of the ovule inside María’s uterus; afterwards the song carries on normally (pun intended) for a while, until it starts to progressively accelerate as it depicts María’s contractions and her finally giving birth to the Sun.
