about

It's not the weather, it's the clouds in your eyes...
We're English; we write songs about the weather.

lyrics

Sunshine (is a state of mind)

It's not the weather, it's the clouds in your eyes
That bring the thunder to your skies
And sitting still to wring your hands and bathe in wishful thinking
Won't stop the falling rain or save your cloud-filled ship from sinking

Give yourself a little time, and then you'll find
Sunshine is a state of mind, sunshine is a state of mind.

Chains of past regret, so hard to break
Bitter-sweet, addictive, the taste of heartache
Lingers on your lips, and in your secret heart
You hold it close to hide your fear of ever making a new start

Give yourself a little time, and then you'll find
Sunshine is a state of mind, sunshine is a state of mind.

<Middle 8>
Doubts that bring you down, clouds that leave you blind
Are only in your eyes until you blink them away - leave them behind
With open heart and open mind

<solos>

Give yourself a little time, and then you'll find
Sunshine is a state of mind, sunshine is a state of mind.

Just wanting to believe never made it so
But letting yourself dream and letting go
Of the things that hold you back, wishes you know can't come true
Lets you find your way, let's start today

Give yourself a little time, and then you'll find
Sunshine is a state of mind, sunshine is a state of mind.

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
