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
You've no explanations
For life's complications,
But you make them simple, somehow,
I can't let go of you now.
So, if you would leave me,
Go free, yeah, but believe me:
I have loved you from the start;
I have nothing to give you, but each day I live through,
I'll give you the best of my heart.
And when you're around me, I feel love has found me,
Nothing that you might confess will ever make me love you less.
So, if you would leave me, go free, yeah, but believe me:
I have loved you from the start;
I have nothing to give you, but each day I live through,
I'll give you the best of my heart.
There is nothing you could say that would make me turn away
I'm yours, sign me up for the duration,
Nothing you could do would make me be untrue,
I'm yours, you're my favourite destination, I'm yours.
So, if you would leave me, well, go free, yeah, but believe me:
I have loved you from the start;
I have nothing to give you, but each day I live through,
I'll give you the best of my heart.

Recorded by Ian button at Canterbury College Studio, April 26th 2012
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.

The songs are softly sung, but pack a powerful emotional punch, such is the vocal skill demonstrated by this wonderful trio. We love Gavin's idiosyncratic guitar technique and they're all lovely folk. DaylightSaving
We love the way Picturebox can write a song about anything and we admire their DIY approach to recording & production. Fun songs and a a very positive attitude to life. Get some! DaylightSaving
