There was no light
Only the white night
First born when the sun
Screamed her eyes open

    Thing song on a day whithout (sun)light, in a week without light, in a cloudy January made this morning lightful.

    I read an interpretation of this song that related it with the story of Persephone and Demeter and when you think about the lyrics, it makes sense. I fell in love with this song when I first heard it and connecting the mythology with the song makes me love it more, even if that wasn't the intended meaning of the song.

    Wenn ich Antony And The Johnsons höre bin ich in einer anderen Welt und da hin entführt mich auch der Song Daylight And The Sun. Es ist so schöne Musik, die sich ins Herz pflanzt und für immer da bleibt...
