Meadowlark Share New Single ‘My Light Has Gone’

Bristol-based electro/pop duo Meadowlark, consisting of singer/songwriter Kate McGill and multi-instrumentalist Dan Broadly, have just shared their brand new single My Light Has Gone, taken from their upcoming album, Nightstorm, set to arrive in November. 

I am loving the song's warm and intimate atmosphere which sounds perfect for an introspective day home alone with one's thoughts. Kate McGill's vocals are packed with raw emotion and flow effortlessly over the polished indie-folk production. I am particularly fond of the intricate acoustic guitar riffs that are beautifully joined by emotive piano chords and subtle atmospheric elements that create an overall emotional and melancholic atmosphere. 

My Light Has Gone is a relatable song about love and loss and is wrapped around such a memorable production with gorgeous vocals and haunting harmonies that won me over from the start. If you're into beautifully-written pieces of music with lush guitar and piano melodies and an overall touch of melancholia, then you'll love this song. Check it out below!

 

 

Speaking about the song, the duo said,

My Light Has Gone was written about whirlwinds of love and loss. It’s about getting caught up in a story instead of reality; letting it take over every cell in your mind and body - only for it to inevitably crash and burn. As humans, we have a tendency to let our minds wander in false realities - dreaming and hoping and pleading that one day they might come true; but they rarely do. And when they don’t, we suffer. We’re adamant that we’ll never recover, but we always forget the part we played in the process. We’re in a constant state of regrowth. Life is cyclical. We fall apart so that we can recover. And lights go… but they always come back.
