Hours of Sunlight

from OPHELIA album by Angeline Morrison

/

about

My gaze fell upon the spine of one of my favourite Francoise Sagan novels (A Few Hours of Sunlight), and this song began... Hours of Sunlight is a quiet meditation on communication. Spoken language is just one amongst many possible communication channels, and it doesn't always work too well... Sometimes a whole conversation can well up inside you, only to be derailed by a look.

lyrics

Hours of sunlight behind every plan
Hours of sunlight behind every plan.
If you look at me that way, I can't get to the end
Of what it was I had meant to say,
The words that almost mend.
The words that almost mend...

Weak rays of morning, it rained through the night
Silvered the roof tiles with shimmering light.
Perhaps you'll call, and want me back, and I'll once more pretend
I cannot hear the resounding lack
Of words that almost mend.
Of words that almost mend.

Angeline Morrison and The Ambassadors of Sorrow

"Bewitching and otherworldly... Morrison's voice is eerily confiding, strangely present, insistent even at its quietest" Folk Radio UK.

Believing in the beauty of sad songs, weaving folk, soul and beat sounds of the '60s into a tapestry of the human heart. Homespun sounds that reside in a nostalgic universe.

"Dark, unsettling folk that verges on the hymnal" BBC Introducing.
