seven years ago i saw the moon drop to the earth and in the darkness i found pieces of the sky i didn’t really know that it was morning that i held and that the darkness was just daylight in disguise seven years ago i stacked those pieces end to end until the darkness was a shelter to despise i didn’t really know that it was morning that i built and that the darkness was just opening my eyes daylight daylight stayed with me drunken, broken, stubbornly picking through the pieces of my pride daylight daylight don’t you know never ever let me go though it was on darkness i relied seven years ago i saw the moon drop to the earth and in the darkness i saw pieces of the sky i didn’t really know that it was morning that i held and that the darkness was just daylight in disguise seven years ago i flung those pieces to the ground and in their crashing i heard all my questions why i didn’t really care that it was morning that i tossed and turned and crashed and burned ’til darkness turned to light daylight daylight stayed with me drunken, broken, stubbornly picking through the pieces of my pride daylight daylight don’t you know never ever let me go though it was on darkness i relied daylight, daylight daylight, daylight daylight, daylight daylight, daylight

about

Daylight, the long-awaited, full-length album from independent artist Angela Josephine is at once a folk-rock opera and personal exploration. The listener is drawn into the narrative of a woman caught in the dark night and her revelatory journey toward soul.

Recorded in Detroit and Ann Arbor, Michigan with producer Chris Bathgate, Daylight expands the sonic palette of Angela's work as well as showcasing her on a variety of instruments (guitar, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, piano, Wurlitzer, organ, synth). From the cinematic prelude that is “This Light” to the haunting finale “Face to the Wind,” an expansive landscape of wilderness unfolds with unexpected beauty and lush discovery.

“With these songs, I wrestle the duality of my inner angels of darkness and light,” says Angela. “With these songs, I wrestle the duality of my inner angels of darkness and light. I am tempted to solve the mystery by striving to get from one to the other; sorrow to joy, grief to healing, even death to life. It is at the crossroads of our light and darkness that we come alive and discover soul. I am rediscovering my soul."

"Daylight" (2018) is Volume 2 of the EP "Stone Bright Solid, Volume 1" (2012)
