about

Every session / record has that one track that you have to mull over. It's close, but you just can't seem to get it where you want it (i.e., everyone has different ideas about what needs to happen production-wise and part-wise). This was that track for us. The debate? To add acoustic guitar or not? To add a shaker part or not?

As you'll hear, we landed on acoustics - but - had to figure out where in the song it'd come in.

Like a family at the Thanksgiving table...

lyrics

Daylight, sunlight
Throw back the curtains that are blocking the sun
Fade out, hold tight
No matter what we do the starlight is cutting through us

And I feel like the suicide is over and done
The night is falling and the day has already been won

Tell me a beautiful lie
Show me all the stars in your eyes
The stars in your eyes

Big lights, stage light
I know the lines to sing, I know the part that I play
Soundtrack, fade to black
No matter what we say the starlight is shinning on us

And I feel like a phoenix living under the gun
Burning brighter now I'm rising up to meet the sun

Tell me a beautiful lie
Show me all the stars in your eyes

Hold on, daylight
And we hold on, daylight

Tell me a beautiful lie
Show me all the stars in your eyes
The stars in your eyes

Daylight is a beautiful lie
