So far while listening to “Free”, you get a sense of tenderness, and humility with the instrumentation of the first two tracks. “Dying in the Airwaves” and “Bird Flu Sung” seem more organized and both songs include a climax that might be predictable. With “Lube” and “Electric Guitar Virgin” you get more of an experimental feel with the electronic elements and with the loose guitar selections, despite “EGV” having an classical like climax towards the end, it was only done purposely to bring you back and not lose its purpose. With the fifth song, Stephanie wanted to mix in the two vibes.
After feeling a bit overwhelmed with the recording process of “Free”, Stephanie Fierce wrote “In Love Alone” inside a New York City train terminal late at night, she placed herself within the group of passengers to give her ambition and a sense of company. But not even that numbed her into normality nor gave her a purpose to finish the song. Steph surprisingly wrote what she could in about 10 minutes, lost all ambition and didn’t finish it leaving the lyrics incomplete. With the song’s lyrics, Steph seems to become the narrator of her own thoughts, opening up about the feelings of her ex-husband Johnny once again. It’s the one song on the album where that she hated, especially throughout the process of actually making it.
“In the process, I was thinking what the hell happened to me. Why am I putting all of this effort into this guy and he’s not even putting any effort into showing affection towards me. Affection and communication is a big part of love. I didn’t understand it because I felt like we had everything we needed to be the best lovers we could possibly be. Money wasn’t an issue and time wasn’t that much of an issue either. Being with this man, felt like being at the mountain top, him missing, and no one to share the view with. I felt like a balloon full of nothing but air. Going up, and up without an actual purpose. So these lyrics are not only a reflection of my annoyance and loss of ambition, at the same time it’s a song about something so simple and cliché that I could in fact have finished. But I didn’t.It’s kind of interesting.” Production and Composition
“I guess you can say that I was trying to make this song as interesting as possible. When I wrote the song, it was already looking out to be some sort of boring ballad. At the time, I was very worn out with looking at myself and after going over the unfinished lyrics, I was pretty bored with the sound I was already creating in my head. Everything about this song was just annoying to me for some reason and til this day I don’t know how it made its way to the album. Maybe the fact that it’s unfinished made it…. finished." “IN LOVE ALONE” jumps back into the Fierce Atmosphere, and goes a bit deeper into the darker soundscape, that was not showcased in “Dying in the Airwaves” and “Bird Flu Sung”. The song also features the more industrial side of the fierce atmosphere that eventually meets up with a collection of brass instruments. The industrial sound, sounds like machinery hitting against each other almost like train tracks, as if the machines are on-going without a purpose. This reflects the “no progression” of the lyrics. Even with the glitchy instrumental parts of the song, the song suffers progression before ending with a collection of brass instruments going off; all going on one sigle note, giving the ear a sense of freedom, escaping from the dark sounds of the Fierce atmosphere, and finally introducing a moment of progression. However, after the collection of brass instruments go off, the song ends and train tracks are heard once more.
“Brass instruments make the perfect sound, if you’re introducing a moment in music. It’s almost welcoming. That moment comes in, the overwhelming sound of brass instruments going off give you a sense of freedom. I never thought I was going to use this part of the “Fierce Atmosphere so soon into making the album to be quite honest.” Stephanie Fierce’s vocals are sound as if annoyed and almost forced through boredom. Her range is heard all over the place and it doesn’t seem structured. Overall, “In Love Alone” was recorded, edited, mixed by Stephanie Fierce in the matter of ten days in the process of three recording sessions.
"In Love Alone" (Radio Version Lyrics) "Are you here with me
(Whispers)Can I take you home.....
home to the presence of love
Can I take you home boy....
to the presence of love
You really had me going,
but left me empty handed
In need of it...................
I'm screaming with confidence I swear
Out this coffin you put me in
With one eye open, as my intuition ends
It seemed like I was in love
In love with with the air
Freely, but waiting for the rush to begin
In reality............
You had the floor above my head
and I was falling effortlessly
Viewing the picture all alone
In a cold mountain top
How nice could that possibly be?
Not knowing or receiving anything
And it feels like I’m In Love alone....
what an irritation
This loneliness brings Irritation
And it feels like……
In Love Alone, giving my everything
and I still look for your love I confess
But it’s nowhere to be found
You were at the top, but you lost the view
Now you're all alone in the cold
That's what pride can do
Crucified yourself with your selfishness
Lead yourself to sadness and no happiness
CAN YOU FEEL MY.... LO Oh OVE (When I'm gone) (*Chant line four times*)
