Double Vision

A story told in a doctor's room — half-disbelief, half-laughter, fully a vow. Two heartbeats on the same screen, and a moment of pure enlightenment.

The Story

About this track.

Double Vision is a story told from a doctor's room — a song built like an unexpected announcement that you have to listen to twice before it lands.

It moves in waves: disbelief, then a deep breath, then the doctor confirming what the screen is already showing. Confusion gives way to nervous laughter, then to a kind of joy that is hard to describe — the type that takes hold all at once and leaves you pondering the past, the present, and the after.

The piece slips into French at its turning point — "Tu vois en double ? Parce que moi aussi" — a quiet shared sentence between two people seeing the same thing at the same time. Then the announcement: you're expecting twins. A moment of pure enlightenment.

"You're expecting twins."

Double Vision, in full.

IThe Listening

Okay so listen carefully

I'll tell you a story

An event

We were not at all

Able to anticipate

Unexpected, such that

One we struggled to believe

I said out loud

Doctor

Are you sure it's correct

IIDoctor, I'm Sober

It's true that it's happened

On many occasions

This time, however

I was convinced it was not possible

Doctor

I said

I've got double vision

But this time I was sober

One hundred per cent

IIIPast Medical Reports

I took a deep breath

Tried to gather my thoughts

Took another good look

Thinking of all our past medical reports

IVConfirmed Suspicion

The doctor, however

Confirmed our suspicion

Still Looking at the screen

Over and over

I did indeed have double vision

VCloud Of Confusion

The emotions between my love and I

At that specific moment

Were difficult to discern

In a cloud of confusion

A state one would describe

Viewed from another perspective

As pure hysteria

The story I'm telling

However, it might not be as it seems

It's one of pure joy

A story told, come true
