I just finished listening to him reading poetry. He really is like a creature who bridges the ancient with the modern, the classical with contemporary. I imagine he has no idea how unusual he is. In these dark and fraught times, he shines with intelligence, kindness, humor, pure intention.
What a lovely to describe him. What a gift he is. He has pulled me from the pits of depression so many times I can't count. I love him with my entire heart and soul.
Why, oh WHY doesn't he perform this song more often😭. It's so beautiful and lovely and makes me dance and cry at the same time. So many emotions. Can we please beg him to sing Sunlight more😩
as someone who used to work in stage lights for my highschool, seeing the blue light slowly turn to a red/golden glow when he began playing as if it WERE sunlight was 👌👌👌 heavenly
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet Who would trade that hum of night for Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight But whose heart would not take flight Betray the moon as acolyte On first and fierce affirming sight Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight I had been lost to you, sunlight Flew like a moth to you, sunlight oh sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight All the tales the same Told before and told again A soul that's born in cold and rain knows Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight At last can grant a name To a buried and a burning flame As love and its decisive pain, oh my Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight All that was shown to me, sunlight Was something foreknown to me, sunlight oh sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight, sunlight All these colors fade for you Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight All these colors fade for you Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight Each day you'd rise with me Know that I would gladly be The Icarus to your certainty Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Strap the wing to me Death trap clad happily With wax melted, I'd meet the sea Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
I love this song so much. After my brother passed away in February, I listened to this song on repeat and I think it's one of the only things that got me through my grief. It sounds beautiful live 🥰
Thank you so much for recording this song ! I am so in love with this song and i was waiting so hard for a live version and it's so beautiful: the guitar; the violin, his voice ❤
Trying to get the cords right on the verse Verse: F#m - B9 - E - A (5th on E string) - D7 - C#7 - E - A - F#m I'm not really sure on D7. I've tried D7 in 5th position on the A- and the G-string, then 4th for the D-string and 3rd for the B-string.
I just found a tab version that goes Em-A9-D-G-C7-B7-D- G-Em. I also read that the original is in Gm, so capo 1 with your chords or capo 3 with mine. I play most the chords with a barre up one position but I play the C7 barred at the 3rd.
This is a truly masterpiece, I just can't stop listening to this wonderful song... I feel energised by it, I wish I had a love so beautiful and powerful like the sunlight
“Each day you rise with me Know that I would gladly be The Icarus to your certainty. Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight… Strap the wings to me Death-trap-clad, happily. With wax melted, I’d meet the sea. Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight. Those are some incredibly powerful lyrics. Breathtakingly deep and complex.
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet Who would trade that hum of night for Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight But whose heart would not take flight Betray the moon as acolyte On first and fierce affirming sight Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight I had been lost to you, sunlight Flew like a moth to you, sunlight oh sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight All the tales the same Told before and told again A soul that's born in cold and rain knows Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight At last can grant a name To a buried and a burning flame As love and its decisive pain, oh my Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight All that was shown to me, sunlight Was something foreknown to me, sunlight oh sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight, sunlight All these colors fade for you Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight All these colors fade for you Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight Each day you'd rise with me Know that I would gladly be The Icarus to your certainty Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Strap the wing to me Death trap clad happily With wax melted, I'd meet the sea Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Andrew Hozier Byrne
