Ranaldo and Rosalía collaborator Raül Refree share “Light Years Out”
— and marks a decided turn toward the experimental.
“Light Years Out” is what Ranaldo calls “the weirdest” song on the record. It starts off with a voiceover, a snippet of a poem Ranaldo had on hand: “I wanna look like a man that has nowhere to go,” Ranaldo intones. “Nowhere he’s gotta be. At large, in the 21st century. Light years from your smile, a light rain is falling on my head.” Then the song starts to glitch out.“We wanted to build it from something very sparse: just a voice,” Ranaldo says. “That was an exciting idea to us.
The accompanying video tends toward the experimental as well. Ranaldo teamed up with an old classmate from Binghamton University in New York, Matt Schlanger, who happened to have a basement full of analogue video gear in upstate New York. It’s a simple affair, featuring a glitched-out version of Ranaldo’s face.
. Ranaldo came up with the title after wandering through a neighborhood in his wife’s hometown — the North End of Winnipeg, Manitoba — and seeing a series of streets named after women: Lydia, Kate, Dagmar, Harriett, Juno, etc. These women became a metaphor for how people pass in and out of one’s life. Someone named “Angela” crops up in “Light Years Out” — a woman the narrator lusts after.
