Second Daughter draws on long arcs of rhythm and lush atmospheres and melancholic, ethereal melodies to craft the weighty and processional “Love Language.” It sounds like the kind of synth pop you would use to close out an indie dance night or as the outro music of an existential and tragic love story inspired by the more romantic side of David Lynch’s cinematic career. The tone of the song is one of resigned and remorseful acceptance that someone with whom one is involved communicates love in a way that isn’t in line with one’s own, with gestures and words that don’t quite resonate though they might with someone else. And the most one can say is the person tries and that both people make the effort but it’s just not going to work out no matter how much time and energy you’re willing to put into it. Maybe there was an initial spark or attraction that brought the people together, which happens often out of circumstance or a momentary period in a person’s life and you want it to work out but deep down you both know it won’t and rather than let that disconnect spiral into something destructive you take a moment to reflect and mourn the possibility you wanted to manifest like adults.
