about

Captured Light is influenced by the premise of Tim Kinsella’s novel, “Let Go and Go On and On”. The book is a fictional biography of a real actress – of whom very little is known about besides the movies she appeared in. It addresses the idea of being immortalised in your creative output, far beyond your years, but also the falsehoods this can construct. Because of the theme, I tried to emulate Hollywood Renaissance era soundtracks with the arrangement of the string quartet in the chorus, and based the drum sound on the “Zimba Ku” break, originally recorded in the mid 70s.

lyrics

Is it harmless to assume a role?
Imitate another soul
Could one ever truly know
What fills the spaces in between?
Since abandoned faux reality
Life behind the scenery

Captured light
Sealed in time
Always something more
Always something more

Effervescent, honey-sweet
Brightest starlet, beauty queen
Shield the blues for the silver screens

So much safer not to feel
Fall asleep behind the wheel
Blur the outlines of what is real

Captured light
Sealed in time
There’s always something more
There’s always something more
