BLUEPRINTS

Tonight, I ricochet down 
The streets that still remind me
‘Cause I thought what I wanted 
Was us without the world
An old excuse to hide in 

That life, we’ll never know
Names in the sand
Holding back an ocean
All we said unspoken
That life, we’ll never know
Blueprinted plans
Holding back an ocean
Leaving it unbroken 

I’ve found a focus change now
The choices left behind me
But I catch myself thinking 
Of all that could’ve been
In a life that runs beside me

That life, we’ll never know
Names in the sand
Holding back an ocean
All we said unspoken
That life, we’ll never know
Blueprinted plans
Holding back an ocean
Leaving it unbroken 

That life, we’ll never know
Names in the sand
Holding back an ocean
All we said unspoken
That life, we’ll never know
Blueprinted plans
Holding back an ocean
Leaving it unbroken

DUST IN THE SUNLIGHT
https://linktr.ee/DustInTheSunlight
https://youtu.be/5ZP7x8sY-zU

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 - Hard To Explain

‘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.
