About the Song

I guess the most complex element in a personal album such as “Windows in the Sky” is to avoid any self-consciousness on what we do by all possible means, which is almost impossible by definition but nonetheless necessary if we want those songs to grow beyond the words and sounds we dressed them with as we’re trying to find a way to express emotions that are greater than our attempts at circumventing or understanding any of it.

Again, I’d rather be honest than try and define anyone else’s perception. That’s why “The Love That Moves (The End Is Beginning)” has more to do with an intimate prayer than a well-designed mantra projecting what I would like to convince myself or others of. It’s my way of confessing what that journey has been, but even more to present who I became going through it all…

Is grieving the ability to conquer darkness and make it shine? Is mourning the acceptance of the end that allows us to begin all over again? Is emotional emancipation no longer being afraid of losing what we never truly had in the first place? Maybe it is. Maybe it ain’t. But one thing for sure is that love moves, forgives, and heals… Way beyond any pale morning light or any dazzling make-believes.

– Alex

Lyrics

The journey comes with joyful streams
Joyful streams and tearful motions
The journey comes

The journey comes with joyful streams and tearful motions
The journey comes
The love that moves, forgives and heals
The journey comes
The journey comes
The journey comes
The journey comes

The end is beginning, oh, the end is beginning
The end is beginning
The love that moves
The love that moves

The end is beginning and I will find you when the night is over
Through shadows of time, ghosts of past sufferings
I will find you in the end
I will conquer darkness, oh, I will make it shine
I will conquer night and make it mine

Oh, the journey comes
The journey comes
The journey comes
The love that moves
Oh, the journey comes

The end is beginning and I am no longer afraid to lose
To let my spirit flow, my heartfelt soul transform and molt
The end is beginning
I will conquer darkness and make it shine
I will conquer night and make it mine
To keep my eyes in bloom
To look at you in all wonders, wonders
I will conquer darkness and make it shine
I will conquer night and make it mine
I will find you in the end

I am no longer afraid to lose
I will find you in the end
I will conquer darkness and make it shine
I will find you in the end
I will conquer darkness and make it shine
I will find you in the end
Oh, I am no longer afraid to lose
I will conquer night,
I will conquer night and make it mine
Oh, I am no longer afraid to lose, to lose, to lose
I am no longer afraid to lose, to lose, to lose, no
I will conquer night and make it mine

Oh, the end is beginning and I am no longer afraid to lose
It’s love that moves
It’s love that moves
It’s love that moves
It’s love that moves
It’s love that moves
It’s love that moves
It’s love that moves
It’s love that moves
And I am no longer afraid, afraid to lose
Afraid to lose, afraid to lose

I will embrace the lights
And let memories find their peace
Through shadows of time
I will find you in the end
I will find you in the end
I will find you in the end
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
I am not afraid to lose
I am no longer afraid to lose

I am no longer afraid to die
I am not afraid to die

Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
The love that moves

The idea for the visual of “The Love That Moves” happened, like it usually does for me, in several different phases. When all taken into account, they seem to have little, if any at all, logical connection between every single one of them, but, somehow, looking back at it all now, it makes perfect sense as a whole for me. So here are a few fragments of the organic and creative journey beneath “The Love That Moves”.

Live from the Upper Room Studio, Alex Henry Foster & The Long Shadows perform the songs “Snowflakes in July” and “The Love That Moves”, as well as the brand new song “Sorrows (If Only I Had Known)” during a live stream in collaboration with BrooklynVegan. This live stream marks the last one in the journey “Windows in the Sky Live from The Upper Room Studio”, that started as the band came back from a European Tour amidst a global pandemic. Recorded on July 26, 2020.

This is a series of limited-edition lathe-cut LP in the series Windows in the Sky. The 7 first ones have been released between April 2019 and May 2023. The 8th one, last in the series, featuring the song The Love That Moves, will be available on November 8 for the members of The Club.

Silkscreen-printed on one side, those limited LPs have all been crafted by hand in Alex Henry Foster’s creative atelier, The Fabrik. Signed and numbered, the 7 first LPs are already sold out, and no reprints will be made.
