[Dialogue: Ms. Watson]
You spoke of loved ones
What is love?

[Chorus: Abstract]
Love is a moment
Love move in silence
Love is the calm in the storm
It's a word for the pause in the chaos
Love is the baseline
Love is the ground floor
Love is what was before we decided that we needed more

[Verse 1: Abstract]
Love ain’t a brand or a name
Love ain't a rock on a ring (oh no, no)
Love ain't a line in a song
Love is what gets you to sing (oh yeah, yeah)
Love don’t put you on your knees
Love look you straight in the eye (oh yeah)
Love come from lovin' each other
Not from you buyin' their lies (oh no)
They gon' put a hole inside you
Then they'll profit tryna tellin' you how to go and fill it up
Sell the sickness and the cure
Take the cure and mark it up
That's some messed up logic that I'm tryna interrupt
That’s a money-hungry business—tell me, can I get a witness?
Can’t believe they're playin’ with us
See, we're governed by the greed
They gon' start sellin' air—like, it’s the only way to breathe
Learn to love yourself without 'em and you'll learn to be free

[Chorus: Abstract]
Love is a moment
Love move in silence
Love is the calm in the storm
It's a word for the pause in the chaos
Love is the baseline
Love is the ground floor
Love is what was before we decided that we needed more

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Love is not loud (oh no, no)
It don't get in your face (oh no, no, no)
Love's in the size of your heart
Not in the size of your waist (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love is how you view yourself, not the way others see you (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love is how you choose to live, not what they're expectin' of you
TV try to tell you what is wrong these days
Like an old man screamin' on his porch these days
'Cause a negative story get a lot more views
Guess the clouds sell better than the sunrise do
Lotta people so concerned with who you wanna love
Who you wanna fight for, who are they to judge
Love does not delight in evil, it rejoices with the truth
So no matter what their truth is, love is what is true to you, yeah

[Chorus: Abstract]
Love is a moment
Love move in silence
Love is the calm in the storm
It's a word for the pause in the chaos
Love is the baseline
Love is the ground floor
Love is what was before we decided that we needed more

Growing up in New Jersey, Luke Terkovich, otherwise known as Abstract, was involved with music at an early age. Learning how to play piano, electric guitar, and the drums were Luke’s first involvement with music — and he did it all before 6th grade. With a move across country from New Jersey to Jackson, Wyoming, the distance between learning and playing new instruments got larger. It wasn’t until several years later that Luke began to mess around with freestyling during his high school years spent at Jackson Hole High. Evolving his newly found musical expression into Raised in Jackson, WY, Abstract is known for his immense musical versatility and affinity for providing uplifting music for a turbulent world. With a knack for storytelling, he provides introspective motivation to all who take the time to dive into his work. Notably known for his remix of Ruth Bs Lost Boy “Neverland” which has garnered hundreds of millions of plays on YouTube, his work with Drumma Battalion and Roze, and his 2016 album Something to Write Home About. He heads a collective known as “A Team Worldwide” 5 musicians from 4 different countries. Producers Drumma Battalion of Norway, Blulake of Sweden, Cryo Music of Scotland, and Abstract. Coming off his first overseas tour with YONAS, the ATWW collective is gearing up to drop Abstracts new album/experience late summer 2018.writing detailed lyrics, he began to find that he could vent the stresses of his everyday life through creating music. Slowly progressing through the years of his new town where he calls home; balancing school, life, and music developed Luke to become Abstract.

Trying to find his sound was a young teenager who just looked to get something written down and then translated into music, and eventually rap. Still in his caterpillar stage of metamorphosis was a young Abstract who released his first ever collection of songs, properly named The Dream.

In 2012, through YouTube, Abstract met Craig McAllister, a producer from Glasgow, Scotland. During that period, Abstract was in the midst of working on On My Own Time and was the first time Craig showed up with Abstract. Afterwards, the duo started to mesh extremely well and produced the five projects, Under Lights & Microscopes, A Life To Live By, Dreaming With Eyes Open, The Science Of Feeling Tall, and We Are The Artist.
