about
But here I am, pretty blue
lyrics
Pretty Blue
There are no clouds to mar my summer skies
They are the colour of your pretty eyes
And I have no right to sit here, wishing over you
But here I am, pretty blue.
Sun through the trees here, in this quiet place
Dappled light plays on your pretty face
I can't ask you to be true
But here I am, pretty blue.
I'm so blue, thinking of you on your own, me here alone,
I can't be with you, it's just a crying shame, but all the same
I'll stay right here and dream of you,
My pretty blue.
Every day I wake up, you're on my mind
I want to tell you that you are my kind
No reason for hoping you feel it too
But here I am, pretty blue.
There are no clouds to mar my summer skies
They are the colour of your pretty eyes
And I have no right to sit here, wishing over you
But here I am, pretty blue.
Sun through the trees here, in this quiet place
Dappled light plays on your pretty face
I can't ask you to be true
But here I am, pretty blue.
I'm so blue, thinking of you on your own, me here alone,
I can't be with you, it's just a crying shame, but all the same
I'll stay right here and dream of you,
My pretty blue.
Every day I wake up, you're on my mind
I want to tell you that you are my kind
No reason for hoping you feel it too
But here I am, pretty blue.

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

DaylightSaving recommends:
-
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.

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!
