about

Every evening at the golden hour, I am blessed with my room, the garden and an array of objects through the house being awash with light from a glorious sunset. It is a magical few moments of the day, when the light filling your eyes also caresses your skin and spreads a certain warmth and calm through your mind. It is this light that announces the arrival of the night with all its creative energy and the same light that wakes us in the morning to gently encourage us to appreciate the new day. I am always in awe at this phenomenon. Golden Light began as a poetic arrangement of words that I sent to a friend who was on a hitchhiking adventure. He voice messaged back a dreamy melody which became the first strains of this song.

The neo soul, laid-back funk influenced first half of this bop paints the sunset in all it’s sensual glory, which gives way to a wash of ethereal overlapping voices and cascading violin and double bass imitating the glittering light through a morning window. The track ends with a reprise of the main song, this time intimately sung with soulful guitar backing. Golden Light is a warm hug of expansive proportions.

lyrics

Golden Light drench the wall now
Golden light fill my gaze
Cinnamon sky, sprinkling shards
Of honey dipped rays to amaze me

You amaze me

Golden light drench my mind now
Golden light fill my eyes
Crimson sky guide your warm hands
To brown the comfortable skin I’m in
And you amaze me

All is calm and I am still
All is calm and I am still
Waiting on you to wake me, wake me, wake me

Golden light, drench this place now
Golden light, fill my mind
Sweet mellow sky, guide my thoughts pure
With your honey dipped rays.
