THE BRIGHT SERVICE
I hope you rest
Tonight
I’ll sing it right
I’ll sing
The bright service
Lend me your heart
A while
I’ll start
To sing you the bright service
One of the hardest things I think I’ve learned is
How much easier it is to see the shadows than the light
Makes for a better song too
Who wants to hear if you’re looking up Thea
It’s the darkness that makes you relatable to
That makes you, you.
And I get that
I do
But here’s the thing
It’s been a tough few years
I know you know
We’ve all just muddled through
But I’ve been paying more attention
To what I pay attention to
And there’s a short in the circuit somewhere
And it’s deep at the root
At the centre of the algorithm
And the algorithm’s coming for you
Make no mistake.
It takes a lot more energy these days not to hate doesn’t it?
But here’s my light
Brace yourself
This won’t take long
I got the choice
And I think I was doing it wrong
The choice isn’t which side are you on
At the risk of sounding dumb
I think its..
Yeah..
It’s love.
Don’t get me wrong
I see the cracks
I’m still the belligerent
Malcontent
Original insomniac
And when I eventually sleep
My heart still takes me back
Born like a tsunami
A one woman army
Took a pharmacy to calm me
I am intimately familiar with the wringer
And when all else was lost
I still had the middle finger
But now
I’ve learned the curve
Learned to lean in
Found some temporary meaning
And when I wake up?
I wake up dreaming
I wake up dreaming
I wake up dreaming
Do you?
Just hold it tight
Keep it in sight
Tonight I’ll sing
The bright service
It’s time to rise
Just close your eyes
Tonight
I’ll sing
The bright service

I heard this song a few months ago driving home early one Sunday morning while the roads were Quiet and i was blowen away with to me is very deep spiritual feelings and would be a song i could play in a church and ask people to take it home and get a view on it next week, but thats just me!
She asked do you wake up dreaming? i have been on this earth for 55 years and I never stop dreaming and it not just in my sleep but was at school work driving walking with music playing I dream and pray 🙏
My favourite album is Enigma 3 and the song 'WHY' I can put this on constant repeat as I feel it helps my inner spirit and answer missing answers to so many Questions i can't get from other music. This song is also talking to me right now and is currently playing while am writing this thank you. 5 plays later am ready to post....Amen 🙏
This is beautiful, you can tell Thea's seen the darkness (perhaps even been swallowed by it) and is still stepping up to embrace the light. It's beautiful.
I came across this lady today, she is the support act for Richard Hawley in Liverpool on 15th June. I bought tickets as a birthday present to myself. I am amazed by her and cant understand how she is a support act. She is amazing and what a bonus to see her on my birthday
I have long be a fan, however this song has just struck me to the very core. Left me speechless, extraordinary lyricist. Thank you Thea
I’m actually her sons best friend I’ll make sure I tell her that she has such a wonderful community like you ❤😊
I just heard this on Fordam University radio in New York. This is good stuff. The poetry at the core of this song is outstanding. Bravo. You have given us a masterpiece of songcraft.
Thea is a voice that needs to be heard wise honest and brutally truthful shes a very bright light in a very dark world
Just heard this beautiful song on radio 2 this morning, don't ask me why but I cried, it reminded me of my mum so much.
I heard it as I drove away from Manchester Airport having dropped my wife off as she left for a long family trip. It had a similar impact on me!
Beautiful in every way. If you're new to Thea Gilmore then please check out her considerable back catalogue. And as it's nearly that time of year, please check out her superb Christmas album: Strange Communion.
Completely new to Thea Gilmore, loved this song, and having checked can't believe I've missed her all these years. Being the time of the year the RUclips algorithm guided me to That'll be Christmas, and yes Strange Communion is indeed a great album. I look forward to exploring a lot more
@@laupdivad9352 recomend her cd the counterweight great album
Wonderful song.
Thea, you've been writing songs that touch & move me for well over twenty years & are still doing so. Never doubt your gift. Looking forward to seeing you perform live again (been way too long) in Basingstoke (of all places). Many cherished memories of traveling around the UK with your past tours, covering the merch table, then watching the show. I hope to add many more. May 2024 be your best year yet. Ian S. X
Thank you for finding the words to express how so many of us are feeling in this times of sadness and despair.....not knowing who to believe or even what to believe in....a long time fan and it is messages like this that have kept me coming back to listen and watch and appreciate....I am not as alone as I think I am sometimes....be safe, be well and thank you again!
Beautiful. Stunningly beautiful. I love what you say in the spoken section. Thank you.
I was lucky enough to stumble upon this video. I did not expect to react in the way I did. Well done, it hit me right in the feels❤ I will sing my bright service also tonight.
Great song from a great album! an artiste needs to progress, to grow and change, keep moving forward Thea, just extraordinary!
I've had the album for just over a week and it just gets better and better. To quote the world's greatest music journalist every song is an event. For me The Chance is the stand out track. Pure class. Long live real music.
Was directed to your song by Neil Gaiman's (the author) tumblr feed. You're exactly where I am right now, at the ripe old age of 67. Endless mistakes, long lost friends seemingly gone forever. But just recently, before I even heard this song, I realised that, yes, love is the answer. The only answer. The best answer.
You said:
I wake up dreaming
I wake up dreaming
I wake up dreaming
Do you?
Yes. Every day. And I praise the creation, cry at the beautiful clouds in the Devon sky, and love everyone I can, especially passing strangers, like the people I happen to sit next to on trains. Life is becoming beautiful. I wake up dreaming.
Life is now a dream, less of a nightmare, although I still cry about the losses. But I've started working on making amends. Wrote my first message today to a dear old friend I've been estranged from for years. One I would have written for him to see after I die. Wrote it now; will send it soon, full of love and gratitude for what he brought to my life. More letters to come after that. On my way to peace at last; the heart chakra opens.
Thank you, Thea.
Thea super music ❤
This song won't leave my heart. Won't leave my head. It's everything.
Stunning, hypnotic and deeply engaging. Thea, you got me again😢. The whole album is stunning btw.

This is me
Neil Gaiman send me here. Love the song.
🥰🥰🥰
This is beautiful
I hope You all can find the bright service of endless love
It is easier to see the dark than the light
From which bible is this where?
I will search it
The symbolism of the church ruins, as backdrop of a deeply spiritual song of personal penance, is quite profound.
Hi I want to talk to you mam
