The
first half of “Infinity Song” is best characterized by its energy and vocal
strength. The song from Robin Kester goes into a brief Dream mode and exits with
a guitar that interestingly does not have a focus on either melody or energy. The
guitar the starts at 2:24 is more aligned with Psych Rock. Thus, “Infinity Song”
is a genre bender/blender that has something for many different tastes without
sounding anything like a sellout.
“Infinity
Song” is the third song from Robin Kester’s debut album “Honeycomb Shades,”
which comes out on February 24th. In an explanation of the single, she said:
"’Infinity song’ came about during a time where I was still trying to wrap my head around a series of events that happened in a relatively short time span and had really shaken me: my uncle’s untimely death, news that my dad had an incurable illness, and the covid pandemic. Things had irrevocably changed, and I was trying to find ways to accept this new reality on the one hand and feeling more nostalgic than ever as a counter reaction to this. Both feelings seeped into the writing process, resulting in infinity song."

Lyrics of “Infinity Song” by Robin Kester
Infinite time, come back
What is going on
I was in the car
Going somewhere else
When they called
With the news
What is going on
Drawn to a distant light
Too many cups of coffee
Lay awake in bed that night
I guess I am ungrateful
Because I don’t really care
For a short-lived reprieve
When nothing’s really changed
Just postponed
What is going on
I don’t even know
Where to begin
Infinite time, come back
What is going on
I was in the car
Going somewhere else
When they called
With the news
What is going on
Drawn to a distant light
Too many cups of coffee
Lay awake in bed that night
I guess I am ungrateful
Because I don’t really care
For a short-lived reprieve
When nothing’s really changed
Just postponed
What is going on
I don’t even know
Where to begin
