“Sunshine” by Fassine – A Song Review

     It’s ironic that a song entitled “Sunshine” has lyrics that can best be described as dark. According to Fassine, their lyrics relate to isolation and those difficult-to-handle thoughts that “wedge themselves in the door; a journey from logic to absurdity and back again.”

     Fassine is a London quartet. The members are Laurence Langan, Sarah Palmer, James Hayward, and Tamas Szigyarto.

     Our favorite feature of “Sunshine” – The combination of vocal layering and percussion that occurs during much of the final third of the song.

Lyrics of “Sunshine”

FOCUS ON THE LIGHT

PUSH AGAINST THE DOOR

WE KNOW THEY’RE OUT THERE

SHADOWS STAIN THE FLOOR

SO LOCK YOUR BONES

DISCONNECT THE PHONES

MAKING PLANS

DID YOU FIGHT THE MESSAGE?

DID YOU BREAK YOUR WORD?

TRY AND HIDE THE PIECES

ALL THE THINGS YOU HEARD

TIME TO MAKE A LIST

COUNT IT ONE TO TEN

CROSSING OUT THE NAMES

RUN IT TO THE END

SO LOCK YOUR BONES

DISCONNECT THE PHONES

MAKING PLANS, RESTLESS AND IDLE

WE’VE GOT SUNSET IN OUR MINDS

WE’VE GOT SUNSHINE IN OUR EYES

      [Repeat twice]

SO LOCK YOUR BONES

DISCONNECT THE PHONES

MAKING PLANS, RESTLESS AND IDLE

[Repeat]
