Nice, subtle cover of a difficult Beatles classic.

Golden Slumbers / Carry that Weight

Here lies the first four albums by Dear Light; 'Dear Light' (2010), 'Sternenfall' (2011), 'The Observer' (2011) and 'Shepherd Moon' (2012). 

A mighty 40-song (quadruple?) album entitled 'Broken Hymns' is currently being worked on - I started this in January 2013 and i'm going to stop setting any deadlines...so much to do, but it's already sounding rather special. 

It is likely that three further albums 'And We Won't Fear' (2015), 'But Still And All' (2016) and 'Galilean Ships' (2018) will all find their way to the finish line ahead of the weighty, but beautiful,  Broken Hymns.

The Flaming Lips' 'Soft Bulletin', Spiritualized's 'Ladies and Gentlemen, we are floating in space' and Mercury Rev's 'Deserter's Songs' were all released during my formative years - and the line they dance between grandeur and intimacy is a dance I also gladly do. 

Other influences are present and correct; Judee Sill, Leon Russell, Robert Wyatt, Elliott Smith, Harry Nilsson, Leonard Cohen, Roy Orbison, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Delius, The Carpenters, Arvo Pärt, Jimmy Webb, The Beatles, Popol Vuh, Chris Bell, Gavin Bryars. 

All songs, instruments and production by Philip Collings apart from vocals on 'Come to the Light' by Sue Collings (my mum!) All the songs have been recorded at home and mixed on headphones, so they're probably best heard through such a listening device. 

If you enjoy listening to these songs at such small streaming bitrates…their full majesty will be revealed if you visit my bandcamp page and purchase the full quality downloads :) 

I used to record under the name, 'Lord Edward Dark' - and a collection of some of these older, somewhat folkier songs, are assembled here http://www.soundcloud.com/Lordedwarddark
