Farlanders – The Lighthouse Lies Dark
Folk band Farlanders originally from Camrbidge, UK. They released new single on August 6. The song is called 'The Lighthouse Lies Dark' and it opens a new page in the creative life of the collective.

Singer Laura Ward, who leads the vocal line, joined the band in recording 'The Lighthouse Lies Dark'. Her voice comes right after the violin Tessa Gilles that set on the smooth waves of traditional folk music. In the timbre of the singer's voice there are encouraging notes about the light in the dark, about faith, hope and love without which we can not live a day. 


Piano music becomes a single accompaniment until percussion appears together with a gentle violin. The vocals have a classic tone that sounds good against the background of the piano and acoustic guitar that is added to the structure of this multifaceted composition. 


Vocal verses alternate changing mood and harmony creating an epic musical canvas. We admire such a mix of folk, classics and world music. Minor is replaced by major, sadness by playfulness, darkness by light. The melodies overflow one after another, bringing us warmth and taste of life.
