Story behind the song
The lyrics tumbled out after the sad death of David Bowie, inspired by the loneliness of loss which consumes us all in different ways and makes us want to run and hide under the covers until the sun comes out again.
Lyrics
'The Little Black Song' Bring the candles bring the blankets, let's be quiet now Something falls out of reach No breath, no words, no speech… We don't give up on daylight, we don't want to go No fanfare in the silence It's only time you know… Huddle in, huddle in, huddle in, hold tight Bring your arms around me, push away the night I'll read to you, you listen, the sky will never hear The darkness is an old man, singing through his tears Come on, come on, come on, it's late You can't wait for a friend to call You said you rang and the line was busy And nobody talks to walls I said don’t be mad don't be sorry When you looked for the eyes of the light Some shadows are just in a hurry They leave and they don't want to wait Huddle in, huddle in, huddle in, hold tight Bring your arms around me, push away the night Come on, come on, come on, it's late Hear the music, then the silence, goodnight Goodnight… Goodnight. © Maria Daines/Paul Killington All Rights Reserved 16.1.2016

WoW. I hardly know where to begin on this one. I've never heard anything quite like this. The piano toned guitar is so dark and broody and full of melancholy flavor. The lyrics are brilliant and your vocals are just stunning. The overlapping vocals is genius and gives the whole song an aura of a second presence that is there but isn't, if that makes any sense. It's very dreamlike in it's abstract connections and associations. I don't know how you guys come up with this stuff, but your fans are sure glad you do. This is totally unique and creative. Stunning. Standing ovation from me!
