Light On Dark Water

I’m going to be out of town and away from computers for most of the weekend. So when you want a hit of LoDW, you can listen to and watch these over and over again instead of reading some balderdash from me. They say a lot of what I want to say but can’t, anyway. (Of course you may well have come here for the comments anyway, right?) I’m indebted to my friend Daniel for introducing me to this band some years ago. He included a few of their songs on a mixtape, and since then I think I’ve managed to get hold of pretty much everything they ever released.

I would like to try to describe the way the best of their music makes me feel, but I wouldn't be able to. The closest thing is something we’ve discussed here several times, what C. S. Lewis called Joy but which is better described as an almost unbearable yearning.

I picked these two partly because the videos actually complement the music. Wish they were sharper. Here’s “Shine” (5:20):

“Catch the Breeze” (4:28):
