FORMER LIVES (Single Version)
https://bfan.link/former-lives-1

Sat in the back seat
Sat in the back seat
Feeling like a wrecked car
Feeling like a wrecked car
Head full of strange thoughts
Head full of strange thoughts
Night full of strangers
Night full of strangers

Split divide
I’m pulled in every direction at the same time
Former lives
Disappearing under the tension caught in my mind
Caught in my mind

Will you help me let go
If I help you let go?

Hole in your memory
Hole in your memory
Days that I’ve never known
Days that I’ve never known
I heard it’s ending
I heard it’s ending
Why are you holding on?
Why are you holding on?

Split divide
I’m pulled in every direction at the same time
Former lives
Disappearing under the tension caught in my mind
Caught in my mind

Will you help me let go
If I help you let go? 

Help you let go
Help you let go

Help you let go (Split divide)
Help you let go (I’m pulled in every direction at the same time)
Help you let go
Help you let go

Help you let go (Former lives)
Help you let go (Disappearing under the tension caught in my mind)
Help you let go
Help you let go

Will you help me let go (Help you let go)
If I help you let go? (Help you let go)
Help you let go
Help you let go

Former Lives (Single Edit)

Handful Of Water

Same World, Different Eyes

Just A Call

DUST IN THE SUNLIGHT
https://linktr.ee/DustInTheSunlight

You whispered hello
Still it hangs in the air like smoke
Raise my hand in half-surrender 
I’ll pretend, just a friend 
Breathe you in, oxygen

No one knows it
Keep it secret, keep it tight
Float by like dust in the sunlight
Dust in the sunlight

Oh, behave in any way you want 
Just let me know
Or I’d change just to make you
Stay a minute more

Kept me hidden, stashed away
Your creature comfort, misheard name
The all-pretending, it means nothing
‘Til you lose it
Snatched away like oxygen

If no one knows then there’s no pressure
Love with no pain; empty pleasure
Dust in the sunlight
Dust in the sunlight

Oh, behave in any way you want 
Just let me know
Or I’d change just to make you
Stay a minute more

Dust In The Sunlight - Single

Dust In The Sunlight

WINTER MONDAY
linktr.ee/DustInTheSunlight

Day trips back to your hometown
On a winter Monday
Street full of empty wind, closed now
And I’m rushing nowhere 
Beach break, you tied your lace, we sat down
And in slow motion

Break me open and pour yourself in
When the leaves start falling 
Will you be home again?

Last stop, they wake you up far from
The city skyline
Hotels and cinemas long gone
I don’t recognise the face, but I know the name
From another lifetime

Break me open and pour yourself in
When the leaves start falling 
Will you be home again?

Day trips back to your old road
On a winter Monday
Homes where we used to play, all sold
But the memories don’t fade 

Break me open and pour yourself in
When the leaves start falling 
Will you be home again?

Dust In The Sunlight EP

Winter Monday

‘Beautiful narrative-driven dusky indie music’ - BBC Introducing

‘Steeped in a rich sense of emotion’ - CLASH

‘A fine blend of Royksopp, The XX and London Grammar with the harmony-laden lushness of First Aid Kit driving the song along while hints of Elliott Smith and Joni Mitchell caress the narrative lyrics’ - Record Of The Day

Following a chance meeting at a recording session in 2017 as solo artists, Annie Rew Shaw and Billy Wright’s vocals merged so effortlessly that everyone in the room agreed this had to be the beginning of something special. Within 12 months of their official formation, Dust in The Sunlight signed to indie label Project Melody.

After honing their sound and merging their skills, the pair released their debut EP during the first UK lockdown in 2020. The self-entitled body of work won many hearts with its gorgeous showcase of harmonious vocals and tender songwriting. Scooping support from the likes of BBC Introducing, Radio X, Clash and Record of The Day - who described the sound as ‘A fine blend of Royksopp, The XX and London Grammar’ - it’s clear to see this band is onto a good thing.
