A New Day’s Dawn
This song really surprised me this morning.
It’s a 7-minute track and it starts off instrumentally and very gradually builds up. The whole song really makes you visualise the sun gradually rising in the morning. And then, almost out of nowhere, really beautiful vocals creep in for what can only represent the first tip of the bright star we call the sun rising in the horizon.
Slacker recently released his new album, Start A New Life, and the general tones of the album are as uplifting as this track which was given to the blog world exclusively by his label (it’s nice to see new ways of marketing that involves the blogs first!).
I went out on a mad one last weekend and started the gruelling journey home at 6.00am – it would have been really nice to have had this song playing as I set off into the freezing cold!
