Bunny Lowe’s Poetic Time Rush in ‘Past Present Future’
Like a poetic melody, Bunny Lowe’s ‘Past Present Future’ demonstrates the enchanting power of rendering raw emotion and psychological time voyages via the medium of language. The artistry of the lyrics in this composition cements a new high water mark in the ‘Others’ genre, transcending and transforming seen spaces and dormant narratives.
The core of the lyrics centers around omnipresent time, a physical presence that weaves itself into a high-contrast tapestry. From the simple past of parted hair and the candid confession of desire (‘I want what you want’), to the dangerous present filled with sensory experiences, intimacy and existential realizations. Lastly, the future is brought forth, not as a distinct separate domain, but one intrinsically bound to the past and present.
The recurring motif of a seance, seamlessly transitions the celestial into earthly love matters. The protagonist’s holy surrender to love, and an unapologetic approach to taking what they desire, overlays spirituality on human relations, conflating the ordinary with the extraordinary. Fringed with elements of passion, the lyrics carry an aftertaste of heated, intimate encounters, painted with a touch of the forbidden.
The final verses encapsulate the song’s universal appeal; ‘With my body against yours, I can see my past, present, future. And you’re in it’. Not only is the theme of temporal continuity maintained, but a heightened emotional intimacy is also conveyed in the physical and emotional nearness to the lover. It acknowledges the presence of the other in one’s life narrative and sightlines across time, making the lyrics an experience to immerse oneself in.
These riveting vignettes are a testament to Bunny Lowe’s lyrical prowess, presenting an immersive exploration of an unnamed romance that intertwines time and emotion in such an exquisite manner. ‘Past present future’ is an insightful testament of time in love – the love of today rooted in yesterday, sprouting into the tomorrows. Delivered by Bunny Lowe, and nurtured under the label Bunny Lowe, the masterpiece hasn’t failed to secure 5,302 streams on Spotify within a month of its release, proving that the language of love, painted in time, indeed rings universal.
