      He rarely uses other backing singers in his track recordings.It's usually just him doing the backing vocals but his live backing during performances are AWESOME. All of them sing including the drummer. And the 2 primary backing singers are excellent artists in their own right. One is in Native Run the other is their vocal coach.

      These are probably critics that haven't listened to any sort of Gospel music. It's often repetitive. I'm not even religious and I find joy, strength and passion in it. It's about the feeling the music gives you, sometimes through the music itself, sometimes the lyrics, and if you're lucky, both. Damn critics, make your own opinion. With that said, Take Me To Church!

    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet
    Who would trade that hum of night
    For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    But whose heart would not take flight?
    Betray the moon as acolyte
    On first and fierce affirming sight
    Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    [Chorus]
    I had been lost to you, sunlight
    And flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight, oh
    But it is sunlight
    [Verse 2]
    All the tales the same
    Told before and told again
    A soul that’s born in cold and rain
    Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    And at last can grant a name
    To a buried and a burning flame
    As love and its decisive pain
    Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    [Chorus]
    All that was shown to me, sunlight
    Was somethin' foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    But it is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    But it is sunlight, sunlight
    [Bridge]
    Oh, all these colors fade for you only
    Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
    Oh, all these colors fade for you only
    Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
    [Verse 3]
    Each day, you'd rise with me
    Know that I would gladly be
    The Icarus to your certainty
    Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    Strap the wing to me
    Death trap clad happily
    With wax melted, I’d meet the sea
    Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    [Chorus]
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    But it is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    But it is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    But it is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    But it is sunlight
    [Outro]

    I would shun the light
    Share in evening's cool and quiet
    Who would trade that hum of night
    For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight?
    But whose heart would not take flight
    Betray the moon as acolyte
    On first and fierce affirming sight
    Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight?
    I had been lost to you, sunlight
    Flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, but it is sunlight
    Oh, the tale's the same
    Told before and told again
    A soul that's born in cold and rain
    No sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    At last can grant a name
    To a buried and a burning flame
    As love and its decisive pain
    Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    All that was shown to me, sunlight
    Was something foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight

    Oh, but it is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight

    Oh, but it is sunlight, sunlight
    All these colors fade for you
    only
    Carry me slowly, my sunlight
    All these colors fade for you
    only
    Carry me slowly, my sunlight
    Each day you rise with me
    Know that I would gladly be
    The Icarus to your certainty
    Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    Strap the wing to me
    A death trap clad happily
    With wax melted I'd meet the sea
    Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight

    Oh, but it is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight

    Oh, but it is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight

    Oh, but it is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, your love is sunlight
    Oh, but it is sunlight
    Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

The fish is a beautiful red color with purple iridescence, reminding me of a sunset after a summer thunderstorm. The sky was a beautiful gold at the time that I got him. All of this has led me to name him Sunlight.

    I love this song the more I listen to it. To me, it’s a culmination of a several sings, most particularly, following perfectly after “Would That I.” If the first album was the songs of a broken heart, this album is of a man in love. Sunlight is the ecstatic expression of that, and of the natural world. It is transcendent & spiritual, as well. It’s just gorgeous.

    Hey, I would shun the light
    Sharin' evenings cool and quiet
    Who betrayed that I'm the night
    For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    But his heart would not take flight
    Betray the moon as acolyte
    I'm first and fierce if I'm in sight
    Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    I have been lost in sunlight
    Flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight
    All we love is sunlight
    All we love is sunlight
    But it is sunlight
    All the titles the same
    Told before and told again
    Soul that's born in cold and rain
    Oh, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    At last, came burgeoning
    To bury it in a burning flame
    It's love and it's decisive pain
    Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    All that was shown to me, sunlight
    There's somethin' foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight

    Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
    Ooh, and these colors fade for you
    Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
    Each day, you rise with me
    Know that I would gladly be
    The eucharist to your certainty
    Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
    You strap the weight of me
    A death trap clad happily
    With wax melted, I need to see

    Honestly you know what it is? This music feels like exactly the type of music that they should be playing in church. It's soulful and it's worshipful. And it feels like that deep and abiding love that one should have, that's completely unconditional. I'm not Christian myself.
    But I used to be. And this feels like how it should have felt then

    This easily describes how I imagine love truly feels. Being aromantic, I have very little understanding of what romantic love is supposed to feel like, and I long for it despite my heart not working that way. I instead live out these dreams of love through my characters. Is it healthy? Maybe not, but even still. I will always have my Sunlight.

    @leven301 4 года назад +15

    *Big rant*, but does anyone else think of "Take Me to Church"?
    "If I'm a pagan of the good times, my lover's the Sunlight"
    I can't help but remember the music video and all the sweet moments between the characters there -- as well as the horrid ones.
    I feel like this song describes that story too, in a way. Or a story of another same sex couple ("the tale's the same, told before and told again"). But it lingers in the weight of a secret and how their love would bring it to light.
    They lived in the darkness of night--"in cold and rain"--before they met them. It would be perhaps more peaceful to "shun the light" and live life pretending to be blissfully ignorant. And yet like the night giving way in the face of sunlight, they've fallen in love fiercely for the first time ("whose heart would not take flight? ...flew like a moth to you, Sunlight"). In doing so, they betray the religion that guided their life ("the moon as acolyte")
    Falling in for the other made them realize that they were never straight ("at last can grant a name, to a buried and a burning flame, as love and it's decisive pain... all that shown to me was something foreknown to me").
    And now their life has changed. The image they had of themself and the world they knew before fades like a photo under sunlight - under falling for the other ("these colors fade for you only").
    But in the end, it was the life they gladly chose.
    They'd wake up together each morning, with no regrets. Despite all the pain, of having a religion which damns them, they'd do it again in a heartbeat.
