about

"The bones of this song were written a very long time ago- but in it's current, final form it's unrecognisable from the early demos. It was one of those songs that doesn't seem to work, doesn't seem to fit- until it's the right time for it emerge.

Even so, this was the hardest one to complete- all sorts of ideas were tried (orchestral arrangements; acoustic variations- none worked) and yet slowly the echoing synth landscapes and ethereal guitars came together, to suddenly coalesce around a random bassline that Pete composed, to give the song a spine.

The final arpeggios bring a final flourish; sunlight at the end of a long journey; the brightness of spring, hope and remembrance."

lyrics

Small lives in the shadow of the sun
Lit only by the light of moments
There are always wars to fight
But somehow we survive

Nightfall fast approaches
Sorrow creeping in
Shadows lengthen fast
Memories start to fade
The heart's dancing fire
Will never end

We're all small
Our lives to be forgotten
Starlight
Will always hold us well
We'll hold our time together
We'll be waiting on the dawn

Nightfall fast approaches
Sorrow creeping in
Shadows lengthen fast
Memories start to fade
The heart's dancing fire
Will never end

I remember
Bright and open skies
We learned to fly
With wild wings at sunset
Wild wings at sunset

And the heart's dancing fire
Will never end
