about

We used to be a bigger band. This is one of the last tracks we recorded with our old six-piece line-up, in April 2012. They were recorded in a crazy one day session, after a month of no rehearsal, just for fun, to celebrate having been a band together.

The artwork is a picture of us on stage at Canterbury Sounds New Contemporary Music Festival, at a special gig where we jammed with the legendary Caravan in March 2012.

lyrics

The window darkens, he moves
Between light and shade,
Making light of the plans he made
Best laid to rest, futile imaginings.

And all such fragile daydreams burn up in the sun,
As the light of reason burns the eyes of we who fail to recognise
That any of our aspirations count as much as one
And the closed-off mind will only find the mirror of its twisted kind.

He draws the curtains, turns away,
Turns a corner in his mind; so ends the day,
Leaving far behind all that never was,
So it waits to be dreamed again.

And all such fragile daydreams burn up in the sun,
As the light of reason burns the eyes of we who fail to recognise
That any of our aspirations count as much as one
And the closed-off mind will only find the mirror of its twisted kind.

And all that never was waits to be dreamed again.

about

DaylightSaving Canterbury, UK

Having been told they weren't 'pure jazz enough' by a UK radio station that shall remain nameless, Richard and Kate delight in describing themselves as 'mongrel dogs of jazz-pop fusion and proud of it'. That half of their songs sound more like contemporary folk than either pop or jazz is neither here nor there.
DaylightSaving's sound combines elements of jazz, pop, folk and Latin.
Formed Nov 2008
