craig armstrong is one of my contemporary composers, i wondered if this song was used in a movie that shared the same title of the album "The Space Between Us", about a human baby born on Mars by his mother- who then died in childbirth, the baby's mother is the astronaut that led the mission on an experimental habitat on Mars -- ffwd to the baby has become a young man, he braved space travel because his physiology has become different from other humans due to his unique birth upon a low-grav planetars, he returned in spite of great risks to his survival to earth to look for his unknown estranged father , in the process he fell in love... and the rest is... well... drama.
i love this song because the music and the singer's voice captured a certain poignant tone of resignation despite love. How many romances and love that failed the tests of time and societal stress, and at the crucial moment before utter divorce amd severence, that last seminal offer -- in the most simplest of social conviviality:
Do you still want to be with me?
Is there a place for me by your side?
Am i still your chosen companion?
Do you still want to be with me tonight?
And all futures and all unborn worlds hinges on your decision ; a Yes, or even a silence No' will be a beginning, or the End.
The music and the lyrics caught all that bare pathos, as there are no more tricks left to eke anymore desire out of their emotional predicament. Either accept that life forward will be as is -- this is as good as it gets. Or brave the Fates and this cruel world on your own.
