CELESTIAL sees the reunion of two of Melbourne's BeatCollective.net artists: Spectoral and Martiln. Joining forces once more on a highly anticipated collaboration, CELESTIAL is a real gut-puncher, emotionally exploring themes of love, loss and reincarnation in grandiose fashion. Spectoral's take is no less than the cutting-edge blend of trap, pop and electronic trip-hop that we've come to expect from the artist, in the vein of contemporaries like Golden Vessel, Sampha and Flume. Martiln's version is a trademark heavy-hitter, packed full of breaks and expertly crafted EDM making it perfect for clubbers, DJs and listeners after the sound of 2020.

"Celestial is a real, unapologetic gut-puncher." explains Spectoral. "It affects me. I feel vulnerable singing it, even listening to it. Earlier this year, I dropped this song into my set and road-tested it on an unsuspecting audience. The crowd response was really incredible, people were just transfixed by it. It felt like the venue itself disappeared and it was just me and the audience sharing in this very visceral and moving moment together."

VERSE 1

The stars have woke up
There's a beacon there
A million years or three
The light just reaching me
I never gave up
Since you left us here
How close you still could be
A light year parting me
So here we go

PRECHORUS

Let me know
Do you hear me through this silence
Let me pray
Are you out of my life
Tell me not today
Let me know
Do you hear me through this silence
Let me pray
Are you still in my life
Celestial

CHORUS

Wait for me
I'll be waiting for you
Waiting for you
In the next life
Wait for me
I'll be waiting for you
Waiting for you
Celestial

I'll be waiting for you
Waiting for you
Celestial
Wait for me

VERSE 2

If I turned to ash tonight,
You could be anywhere
How long then would it take
To search the empty space
And find you now

PRECHORUS

Let me know
Do you hear me through this silence
Let me pray
Are you out of my life
Tell me not today
Let me know
Do you hear me through this silence
Let me pray
Are you still in my life
Celestial

CHORUS

POSTCHORUS

So do you feel the flame
And would you be the same
Would you still know my name
And do you feel the pain
Of my love, oh
Celestial
