According to Swinger himself, "Gravity [was] inspired [by] driving on Route One from Houlton, Maine to Presque Isle, following the large scale model of the solar system. And a difficult phone call... My sweetie and I worked it out and are still together celebrating 25 years!"
It's as beautiful a song as you're bound to hear this year.
I'll have plenty more to say about M O O N in the days ahead, but for now enjoy "Gravity" with the knowledge that, in my not so humble opinion, it's not even one of the three best songs on the album. That honor goes to the three songs that conclude M O O N -- "Wooden Boy", "Betty Boop & Buddha" and "Music In The Rafters". Together those are the three strongest songs at the home stretch of any album I've heard in more than a few years.
