about

The new single from The Woods. This one's dedicated to you. All of you, working so hard to keep the creativity flowing while juggling life. Getting bruised, floored and maybe doubting if there’s any point just now. But it's you who's lighting sparks in the world and making a difference with every little step.

With a message carried on a vocal line as warming as an autumn rum, at first starkly spine-tingling, and growing with each phrase, rhythms and instrumentation are weaved into a glorious soul-flecked tapestry of lush textures. A tonic for tired souls trying their hardest, The Woods’ picks you up and gives you an aural hug.

With every part conceived and recorded by McFadzean in his rural Scottish Borders studio, The Woods is becoming adept at conjuring unique sonic waters for us to soak our aching bones. Maybe no surprise that he’s been drawn to produce music for worlds of fantasy as diverse as London Fashion Week to children’s books, and why his upcoming EP promises to be an escapist’s dream.

lyrics

Sunlight throws our focus when we're feeling floored
So bright but we can't see what we have in store
& we don't understand what we have done
No we don't understand how far we've come
Every day

Take flight, but we doubt if we can fly away
Full sight, but we can't see how we change today
& we don't understand our significance
No we don't understand when we take a stance
What we do

Have faith, stand tall
It's alright if you trip and fall
'Cos you are the light
You are the light

You see
Your light throws a focus for the world to see
So bright, shows us all what we can hope to be
& if you can't understand your significance
Well it's this- you're making a difference
Every day

Hold on tight
Take this light
Hold on tight
Yeah we'll take this light
And we'll hold on tight
Yeah we'll take this light
And we'll hold on tight

Your light throws a focus when we're feeling floored
So bright, yeah it shows us where we're going to go

Take this light
Hold on tight
Take this light
Hold on tight
