“O Fortuna velut Luna” ["O Fortune like the Moon"]
Turn around and smell what you don’t see
Close your eyes … it is so clear
Here’s the mirror, behind there is a screen
On both ways you can get in.
Don’t think twice before you listen to your heart,
Follow the trace for a new start.
What you need and everything you’ll feel
Is just a question of the deal.
In the eye of storm you’ll see a lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love.
“O Fortuna velut Luna”
[Whispers:]
[Woman :]
The path of excess leads to the tower of Wisdom
[Man :]
The path of excess leads to the tower of Wisdom
Try to think about it…
That’s the chance to live your life and discover
What it is, what’s the gravity of love
“O Fortuna velut Luna”
Look around just people, can you hear their voice
Find the one who’ll guide you to the limits of your choice.
But if you’re in the eye of storm
Just think of the lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love.

“Gravity of Love” is a 1999 song created by the musical group Enigma. The single was the first of two released from the album The Screen Behind the Mirror.
The song features guest vocals by Ruth-Ann Boyle of the British band Olive and has samples from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. The beat in the song originally came from Led Zeppelin’s rendition of “When the Levee Breaks”, which was also used in the song Return to Innocence.
In the music video for the song, which is set in the 1930s, a masquerade ball is being held in a mansion, while passion starts to run high for some of the participants. The video is filmed on location in Vienna, Austria. The director for the video is Thomas Job. The setting is reminiscent of the 1961 film L’année dernière à Marienbad and some scenes from Stanley Kubricks swansong, 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut.
