about

Compassionate and caring, without falling into condescension, “Heartlight” finds Ooberfuse casting a beacon of hope to those who find themselves in the darkest of spaces. Inspired by real life experiences, Cherrie & Hal say of the song:

"When you are plunged into the darkness of despair, and you can’t see the way ahead, everything is engulfed in an impenetrable darkness, at that moment our inner eye perceives flickering in the distance a gentle light that beckons us out of the shadows. “Heartlight” is about this - this light lives in the deepest furthest reaches of our hearts and only becomes perceptible when the things that ordinarily make up our world break down. Often breakdown leads to breakthrough.”

A technicolour beam of otherworldly synthesisers and dreamy atmospherics, it’s a track at once comforting and uplifting in sound that simultaneously recalls the bubblegum electropop of Charli XCX, to the vintage synth-pop of Yazoo, and even the reverb-glistened anthemia of U2. The track was written this year at the band’s studio in Camden.

lyrics

HEARTLIGHT
Words and music by Hal St John & Cherrie Anderson

Some say
Aim for the stars and you will land on the moon
Shine away
Just let your heartlight through they will get it soon
Until that time
Just keep on holding on and never let go
There will be sadness, disillusion
But the pain should never show
They’ll try and kick you and push you and throw you to the ground
Cut through the noise around you will hear
silence makes a sound

Hold on, hold on, hold on don’t let go
Hold on, hold on, hold on don’t let go

Eyes shut
my vision’s clear I go
and chase my fears away

Love’s call
a whisper in my ear
forever here to stay
Until that time just keep on holding on and never let go
There will be sadness, disillusion but the pain should never show
They’ll try and kick you
And push you and throw you to the ground
Cut through the noise around
You will hear silence makes a sound

All you broken hearted people, sit down with me

Hold on, hold on, hold on don’t let go
