Awake for hours is about appreciating what we have while we have it; putting aside the stress of what the future might bring, being fully present in the moment and making the very most of it. We can’t change the past and the future will always be the future not the present. All we have is now.
Produced and mixed by Barði Johannsson (Bang Gang/Lady & Bird)

lyrics
I'm too awake to sleep; I'm too awake to want to.
I'll wait until the day breaks, say good morning to you darling
like I just got up before you.
But I've been awake for hours,
I've been awake for hours.
I'm too alone to leave. I'm too alone to long to.
I'll stay until the night falls, we can count the stars together,
and I'll tell you that I love you.
And everything is ours;
everything is ours.
And tomorrow, it could all fall down; so be here now.
Now that I can breathe how I know I want to.
We can take a moment, we can make it last a lifetime,
but all we have is now.
All we have is now, all we have is now.
And tomorrow, it could all fall down; it could all fall down;
so be here now.

The fave song title has to be a pun on the Canadian national anthem and yes I'm late to this party :) Liked the light touch to the extra strings and horns. Just enough to add colour and swing. Jason Kemp
Elizabeth Morris of Allo Darlin’ returns with a new group! “Winter Sun” is a tender blend of pastoral folk and diary-like lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 8, 2019
Ben Wheeler uses an East German synthesizer and a Soviet flanger to create hauntingly weird yet bright and open electronic soundscapes. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 10, 2022
