Haven

Novo Amor's 'Haven' is a poignant exploration of love, longing, and the emotional turbulence that accompanies them. The song's lyrics convey a sense of distance and the struggle to bridge the gap between two people. The opening lines, 'I'll be late, but I could make it all up to you,' suggest a promise of reconciliation and the hope of making amends, despite the delays and obstacles that may arise. This sets the tone for a narrative steeped in yearning and the desire to reconnect.

The recurring theme of counting down days and ways highlights the anticipation and the emotional weight of waiting. The line, 'I'll count down the days, don’t say that you wouldn’t too,' implies a shared experience of longing, suggesting that both parties are equally invested in the relationship. However, the mention of hearing the rain and feeling the other person 'coming loose' introduces a sense of impending loss and the fear of separation. This duality of hope and despair is a central motif in the song, reflecting the complexities of love and the pain of potential disconnection.

The chorus, with its reference to celebrating upon receiving news and wishing to be the other person, underscores the deep emotional connection and the desire to understand and be understood. The struggle to 'correlate the way you move' signifies the difficulty in fully grasping the other person's emotions and actions, leading to a state of being 'half away.' This phrase encapsulates the feeling of being partially present, caught between hope and resignation. Novo Amor's ethereal soundscape and emotive vocals further amplify the song's introspective and melancholic atmosphere, making 'Haven' a deeply resonant piece about the trials and tribulations of love.
