If you’re in a mellow mood this afternoon (it is Tuesday, after all…) then we’ve got the perfect song for you.
‘Bright Spot II’ is a dreamy new collaboration between American artists Blue Canopy and A Beacon School. Inspired by the challenges of being in love, this pensive track contrasts feelings of melancholy with hopefulness.
“I approached my friend and ex-bandmate Patrick of A Beacon School about remixing ‘Bright Spot’ shortly after its release (in December 2022) and it quickly evolved into a collaboration that we’re extremely proud of, putting a moody electronic spin on what was a sunny, guitar pop tune. The lyrics refer to a rough patch in my relationship with my long term partner. I just wanted everything to be OK between us and this song sorts through my feelings throughout that time, hoping for a resolution.” – Alex Schiff, Blue Canopy
