Our Song of the Day comes from Sara Noelle with Color of Light on the Water, a delicate meditation that immediately places the listener in a sound bath of resonating bowls, perfectly mimicked by colourful circular ripples upon water in Kelsey Boncato’s beautiful video.
The track is taken from her third full-length LP, Do I Have to Feel Everything, which arrives on January 27. The album was produced by Dan Duszynski and is described as an ambient-inspired album that offers a kaleidoscopic lens on a shifting mind as 12 songs wind their way toward a hazy horizon.
“This song came together after seeing a book called Wildflowers of the Sea, which sparked a lot of the imagery. I liked the thought of letting go of passing time — viewing it as light and echoes throughout the water, each color representing a part of myself or my past that comes together in one body of water. The sound bowl in the song represents that ripple.”
Shaking free the chill
Moving through me
The trees dream too
Entangling roots
A window into somewhere new
Cocooning
Shaking free the chill
Slowly fading
