about

Recorded in Prague, Czech Republic and Glasgow, Scotland. The 'Golden Hour' is the time at the end of the day when the sun is setting and the light looks better than usual. It is great for photography and film, so much so that Stanley Kubrick filmed most of Full Metal Jacket during the golden hour each day. Which means all the crew were waiting all day to work for less than one hour. Not a lot of people know that! The lyrics are also about a Scottish person's love/hate relationship with the weather - we're always pining for the sun but rarely get lucky - hence the 'Now I see you, now I don't' lyric.

lyrics

Now I see you
Now I don’t
Now I see you
Now I don’t

The sun is poking fun at me It’s nowhere to be seen
(Now i see you, now I don’t)
Please show me the world
How I want to see it
(Now i see you, now I don’t)
Light is a game always fading
This sadness I’m serenading
(Now i see you, now I don’t)

Earthly wonder
(We are golden)
Earthly wonder
(We are golden)
Earthly wonder
(We are golden)
Earthly wonder
(We are golden)

I only regret
The truly epic failures
(Now i see you, now I don’t)
My mistakes were the best
Thing I ever did
(Now i see you, now I don’t)
So many broken people
But all are smiling
(Now i see you, now I don’t)

Earthly wonder
(We are golden)
Earthly wonder
(We are golden)
Earthly wonder
(We are golden)
Earthly wonder
(We are golden)

Now I see you
Now I don’t
Only light and shadow
But I love it so
Irresistable
I’ll stay here for a while

about

New Olympians Glasgow, UK

"Electrifying and powerfully gripping" Nessi Holt (Radio KC)

New Olympians are a band of explorers; always evolving, learning, pursuing their muse regardless of audience expectations or genre. They sound like a blend of The Who’s blues-rock with Beck’s eclectic indie. Michael's standout vocals have been likened to Roger Daltry’s sincere tone and Jamie Woon’s rhythmic soulful style. ... more
