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
Every day my TV tells me things that I don't want to know,
and every day I hear the saddest stories on my radio,
Every day my paper's filled with things to make a grown man cry,
and every day my blood is chiiled by some new truth or some new lie,
Information overload!
Stop the world, please,
Feels like my head might explode -
Stop the world.
Everywhere I look, I see more headlines screaming to be read,
and everywhere there's more ideas, that fight for space inside my head,
Everywhere there comes the exhortation, "Hurry up and wait!"
Everywhere indoctrination, obfuscation, words of hate,
Information overload!
Stop the world, please,
Feels like my head might explode -
Stop the world.
Have we learned so much of life that we've forgotten how to live?
Will every generation born into this information age
be wiser than the one before? Can information make us sage?
Every day it begs the question, when the world is all explained
can human hearts keep their connection? Have we lost more than we gained?
Information overload!
Stop the world, please,
Feels like my head might explode -
Stop the world.
and every day I hear the saddest stories on my radio,
Every day my paper's filled with things to make a grown man cry,
and every day my blood is chiiled by some new truth or some new lie,
Information overload!
Stop the world, please,
Feels like my head might explode -
Stop the world.
Everywhere I look, I see more headlines screaming to be read,
and everywhere there's more ideas, that fight for space inside my head,
Everywhere there comes the exhortation, "Hurry up and wait!"
Everywhere indoctrination, obfuscation, words of hate,
Information overload!
Stop the world, please,
Feels like my head might explode -
Stop the world.
Have we learned so much of life that we've forgotten how to live?
Will every generation born into this information age
be wiser than the one before? Can information make us sage?
Every day it begs the question, when the world is all explained
can human hearts keep their connection? Have we lost more than we gained?
Information overload!
Stop the world, please,
Feels like my head might explode -
Stop the world.

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.
go to album -
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!
