Top Tracks: Fieldlily – Sunrise

The sun will rise tomorrow; that’s just the way of things. The dawn doesn’t care if you believe in it or not, it just is. No matter how long and dark the night may seem, the light is creeping ever closer as sure as clockwork. What that new day holds – who knows? So much is uncertain in our lives, but at least we can place our trust in one constant, one source of light and warmth that never strays too far. Whether you choose to seize it, savour it, or simply let it pass by like so many others, life is a constant stream of new days and new beginnings. A fitting sentiment then for the debut single from Fieldlily, the latest project from Beth and Emillie Key from Wildwood Kin. Forging a fresh path forward as a duo under a new name brings both tantalising possibility and daunting uncertainty, and ‘Sunrise’ is a hopeful reminder to have faith that there’s always light ahead. With its subtle airy atmosphere, an interlude full of expressive drum work, and comforting melodies elevated by the sisters’ heart-warming harmonies, it’s a stunning start to this new chapter. I have faith Fieldlily will have plenty more delightful creations to share in the days ahead, just as sure as the sun rises.
