‘Musings’ is Jacob D. Edward’s song about hidden desire. It is about the miscommunication that can occur when feelings are not expressed. ‘Musings’ is the sound to the frustration, envy.
On ‘Musings’, Jacob D. Edward adds: “The focus on the song is how the instrumentality connects to the lyrical meaning. The song is about hidden romance. Secret loves comes with a variety of emotions, and this song envelops them all.” This song is about the romantic feelings that Jacob D. Edward harbours for his backup singer. “Because the song is about my singer, I felt completely naked while recording it. I recorded the album with her as well and I knew she is going to hear it for what it is, which scares the crap out of me. The song is both literal and symbolic. Throughout I paint metaphors that explain to the listener how I feel about my backup singer and about how our relationship works. When I sing ‘As she is struggling to dance on her wire’ I made a mistake while singing and we decided to keep it into the recording. It felt a bit daunting to put out something that is not entirely polished.”
