Love Spirals Downwards was begun by multi-instrumentalist Ryan Lum and then-girlfriend Suzanne Perry. In 1991, Lum and Perry recorded a demo, which led to a contract with Projekt Records. Over its 8-year history, the band released four full-length albums, a career retrospective, and a CD single, selling (by their own account) in excess of 40,000 CDs. They were also included on over two dozen various artist compilations, including the Heavenly Voices series released by the German label Hyperium.
Perry's sister Kristen collaborated with Lum on two tracks for the 1998 album, Flux. One of her songs, "Psyche ," was used on episode #501 of Dawson’s Creek, originally airing on 10/10/2001. This episode is included on the Season 5 DVD set.
Jennifer Wilde (then working under her maiden name, Jennifer Ryan Fuller) collaborated with Lum and Perry on two tracks for Love Spirals Downwards' 1994 second release, Ardor. Her vocals from one of these songs, "Sunset Bell," were reused for a new version of the song 4 years later on the band's album, Flux. Wilde went on to form her own band, Liquid State, in January 2006.
Although the band never officially broke up, in 1999 Lum began releasing music under the shortened moniker, Lovespirals, featuring new vocal collaborator, Anji Bee. In January 2000, the Love Spirals Downwards career retrospective CD, Temporal, was released by Projekt with no indication of the duo's split.
Soon after the 2002 release of Lovespirals' first full-length album, Windblown Kiss, Projekt announced that Perry would release an EP under the band name, Melodyguild. Though recorded in 2003, the band's debut EP, Aitu, wasn't released until mid-2008. Perry has since collaborated with Falling You on material released in 2006 and 2008.
In 2007 Projekt re-released the first two Love Spirals Downwards albums remastered by Ryan Lum with additional tracks included in newly designed digipacs.
I Could Find It Only By Chance
Love Spirals Downwards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hi
Girl you just caught my eye
Thought I′d should give it a try and get your name and your number
Go grab dome lunch and eat some cucumbers.
Why? Have I said that, I don't know why
But your smile is something that I like on your face
Yeah it suits you
I font know why I′m drown to you
The lyrics to Love Spirals Downwards' song "I Could Find It Only By Chance" appears to be a conversation between two people where one person, presumably male, approaches the other person, a female, and tries to strike up a conversation with her. He mentions that he has been caught by her beauty and wants to get her name and number. He even goes as far as suggesting that they should go grab some lunch and eat some cucumbers. This is an interesting reference to the benefits of eating cucumbers as they aid in hydration and detoxification.
He seems to be completely unaware of why he is drawn to her, but he acknowledges that her smile is something he likes on her face. He even compares their connection to Bluetooth, which is quite intriguing. The lyrics suggest that there is an unexplained attraction and a sense of energy between them.
This song talks about the uncertainty and unpredictability of love. Love is often something that happens unexpectedly, and in this song, the singer expresses that he could only find love by chance. The opening lyrics, "Hi, girl. You just caught my eye" sets the tone for the rest of the song. It captures the essence of how people can connect on a chance meeting and how a simple conversation can lead to an amazing journey. The song is beautifully crafted and the guitar progression, along with the dreamy vocals, are captivating.

I notice you and want to get to know you
Girl you just caught my eye, Thought I'd should give it a try and get your name and your number
I have the courage to approach you and ask for your contact information
Go grab some lunch and eat some cucumbers
I want to spend time with you and enjoy a healthy meal together
Why? Have I said that, I don't know why
I am uncertain why I suggested cucumbers, but I am interested in you
But your smile is something that I like on your face, Yeah it suits you

Girl were connected like we have Bluetooth
I feel a strong connection with you despite just meeting

As much as I spent time gushing about ‘Subsequently’, this track blows me away emotionally. As does this album. Which is why it’s my favorite.

Ojalá algún dia el talento de Ryan Lum y Suzanne Perry, se reencuentre y nos regale de su magia, no se si etheral o shoegaze, lo que sigue siendo es musica contemplativa y sin complacencias, un verdadero deleite para quienes vivimos su plenitud en los 90, en Mèxico sin internet ni medios masivos, llenaron el museo del chopo y despues el bella epoca...solo basto una guitarra y la voz indescriptible de suzanne...

This song sounds like a million words I wanted to say to somebody I loved but never had the courage to do so.
