about

This song is about Kate's daughter Alex. Alex died aged 13 in 2005 of a heart condition that needn't have killed her if she'd been tested. Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) work to raise awareness and funds for screening programmes, to help save young lives. We want you to download and enjoy this track for free, but if you'd like, you could text PXNY59 £1 to 70070 to donate to CRY in Alex's memory.

At least 12 young people die of treatable but undetected heart conditions each week, in the UK and every death is a tragedy. It's too late for Alex, but it doesn't have to be too late for all of them. Please help. x

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

Summer's gone, no new buds grow
The roses still left soon will blow
Like the chill of Autumn winds that freshen.

Summer's gone and now the skies
Fill with birds, as each bird flies
To where it will from darkening clouds that threaten.

Your smile, the slow and golden light
that fades into each golden Autumn night,
The window of your soul in pale, blue Autumn skies
Your hair in every leaf of red and burnished gold that slowly falls.

Summer's gone and now the night
Has sharper moon and stars more bright
Than shone in June when love was still in blossom.

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
