Have you ever been to Joshua Tree National Park before? I hadn't and it immediately got into my heart. It's rare these days to look up and see such a pure, clear sky as the one we had when filming. I hope its majesty communicates.
HUGE thanks to the ever enthusiastic and generous Trevor Sands for this video and to David Miller for passionately playing an anxious businessman! The music was recorded (mostly) in Seattle with the brilliantly talented producer Geoff Stanfield (Sun Kil Moon, Black Lab).
Enjoy,
Xiren (pronounced seer-rin)

Lyrics:
Sunshine all around
Sunshine, I'm coming down
Sunshine all around
Sunshine coming down
Another day for tragic fools
Playing out the golden rule
Drowning in mother's eyes
A child she doesn't recognize
I'm falling in,
To the space inside
Where your love begins
Opening my eyes
Sunshine all around
Sunshine, falling down
Bodies find an empty floor
Pale light creeps through a door
A secret world hidden between
Dirty beds and better dreams
Let your love begin
To open wide
Beneath our skin
The great divide
Sunshine all around
Sunshine, I'm coming down
Only love, only love
Only love can save us this time...
