Max Richter:
On The Nature of Daylight
MyIndie featured artist, talented writer, producer, filmmaker, singer-songwriter Sarah Daly a.k.a. Metaphorest, has penned some lyrics to sing along with Max Richter‘s ‘On The Nature Daylight‘ instrumental!
Sarah: “I adore the raw, emotional, orchestral music of Max Richter, so I challenged myself to create a vocal melody to go with one of my all time favourites of his ‘On the Nature of Daylight‘. The lyrics speak about how mental health struggles can impact a relationship.”

Lyrics:
When the curtains drop
The lights go off
The lights go off
But it wont stop
Repeating lines
A thousand times
A thousand times
I say ‘I’m fine’
I’m fine
And is this what you wanted
When you took me in?
To live forever haunted
By the spectre of my sin?
I am the wind
The terrible chill that blows across your skin
An invisible thing
Afraid to let go, afraid to be let in
I am the knife
That plunges into the depths of my cold heart
Like a dagger in ice
A lifeless piece of flesh, a broken part
When the darkness comes
And I come undone
You have to run
Please save yourself
It’s a bottomless well
And I am Just a shell
Open your eyes
And look right through me as you always do
I swallow the light
And cast all of your shadows back at you
I am the wind
The terrible chill that blows across your skin
An invisible thing
Afraid to let go, afraid to be let in
And is this what you dreamed of
When you dreamed of love?
To live under an anvil
Always looking up?
And is this what you wanted
When you took me in?
To live forever haunted
By the spectre of my sin?
I am the knife I am the wind
Open your eyes
I told you I’m fine
I am fine
I am fine
I am fine
