This is our moment, promises of a new beginning; we're all here to share. We walk on water, touch the sky, taking off and we'll fly, rising to the sun.
3.
A new horizon's dawning, the gathering of the streams, to bring a resolution, to a forgotten dream. For too long we've all been waiting, we've heard the lion's roar: feet on the ground, burning the flames of the moment of the dawn. 'Cos now is the time, Understand what is at hand, burning inside, arising out of embers pain, a flame of love, a burning flame of love remains. 'cos now is the time. Wake up to the beginning, where we stand up as one; no borders can divide us, we sing another song. A new dawn, it's the birth of our liberation now: feet on the ground, burning the flames of the moment of the dawn. 'Cos now is the time, Understand what is at hand, burning inside, arising out of embers pain, a flame of love, a burning flame of love remains. 'cos now is the time. The dawning of a new day, dawning of a brand new day.

<html> Code 03:32
Got to let it go, let it overflow, ready to explode, <html> code. I got fire deep inside, and I know I wanna feel it. I'm about to lose my mind, constant pressure can't contain it. Constant pressure can't contain it, constant pressure can't contain. Got to let it go, let it overflow, ready to explode, <html> code. Caught up in the flashing lights, feel the rhythm in our body. In an everlasting night, we don't think about tomorrow. We don't think about tomorrow, 'cos today is all we've got. Leave your things and drink your sorrow, let it go, don't ever stop. Fly! Letting go, in my mind, there's no space and time. I am free, free to fly. Gonna leave the world behind. Unending, we're transcending our limitations, I am letting go...

Gold 04:02
You're made of gold! There's too many people, try'na tell you what to do. They want you attention, but do they know what's best for you? In ev'ry situation, ev'rywhere you go, there's an invitation to give the world your soul. No one's gonna tell you what I'm about to say, I'm giving you a message: You're made of gold! Do you know what you are? You are golden. (Gotta let them know) Go let them know that you know that you're more. Gotta live for what you feel deep inside, what you feel deep inside, in your heart. You're made of... The only thing that matters is to know and to believe you can be free. Like the sun that kissed the ocean, you can shine, be a star, let them see. In ev'ry situation, ev'rywhere you go, there's an invitation to give the world your soul. No one's gonna tell you what I'm about to say, I'm giving you a message: You're made of gold! Do you know what you are? You are golden. (Gotta let them know) Go let them know, that you know that you're more. Gotta live for what you feel deep inside, what you feel deep inside, what you feel deep inside, in your heart, what you feel deep inside. Don't forget: you're made of gold!

Can we take a moment? Can we take a break so I can dive in to the silent? Bridges burning, yes I'm learning, to be firm. Can we stop and turn the clock go back to where we started? Left my heart and love departed, Breaking away, from endless circles untangle my brain, Are we losing our way? No solutions or key to this maze. Can we take a moment? Can we take a break so I can dive in to the silent? Bridges burning, yes I'm learning, to be firm. Can we stop and turn the clock go back to where we started? Left my heart and love departed, Wasting our time, on distractions consuming our minds, I am longing to see, a direction where we can be free, Gotta break away, I break away, go my own way, If we align, we're gonna find a way, We're gonna find a way.

about

BOREAL SUN is a collaboration between vocalist Liselotte Östblom
and producer/multi-instrumentalist Matt Roberts. Formed in
London, UK, BOREAL SUN showcases the very best talent of the
city’s thriving jazz, groove and independent music scenes. Their
debut EP ‘Dawn’ features contributions from bassist/producer Robin Mullarkey (Brotherly, Jacob Collier), saxophonist Emma Rawicz, percussionist Yahael Camara Onono (Balimaya Project), drummer Josh Blackmore (Troyka, SiZE) and many more.

The project combines syncopated grooves, sweeping
orchestrations, uplifting vocal hooks, powerful lyrical themes and
explorative improvisations. The result is a rich, captivating sonic
landscape that speaks to the breadth of influences that have
informed the duo. Influences that range from the 1970’s fusion
excursions of Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, to London’s Broken Beat and Acid Jazz movements of the 1990’s. But make
no mistake, BOREAL SUN present an unmistakably contemporary
sound, with a unique scope and depth of musicality.
