New Light from New Light by Chris Brain
New Light, the first single and title track from Chris Brain’s much-anticipated third album, marking a refreshingly contemporary shift in his sound. The single sees Chris weaving together his signature folk influences with new found inspiration, offering a evocative listening experience on personal growth and resilience.
New Light explores changing perspectives during moments of vulnerability and self-reflection. Recorded across two contrasting settings – the intimacy of Chris’ allotment shed in the quiet, early hours of the morning, and the resonant atmosphere of The Nave Studios in Leeds – the single encapsulates a sense of balance between solitude and collaboration.

Lyrics
Let it last
The hand slips into mine
Fragile grasp
Fingers intertwined
Let me be the one to cry
I can't bear your flooding eyes
I can’t take it
I forsake it
One’s enough to realise
That blue is somber
When you no longer recognise
Let if fall
The arms that grace the air
Around it all
The curls that weave so fair
Let’s sink with the dying light
Let our tears fade in the night
I can't take it
I forsake it
One’s enough to realise
That blue is somber
When you no longer recognise
Let me be the one to take it
Let me be the one to break it
Let me be the one to shake it
Let me be the one to wake you
