(Winter/Christmas playlist, #1)
Album: Strange Communion (2009)
Lyrics excerpt:
Come the dawn, come the call
Come, the beating air
Chill the night, soldier light
We'll be dancing there
And rise up, rise up
Day stretching weary wings
Reasons to love this song:
Sol Invictus is the opening song of The Gilmore's excellent Christmas album. In contrast to most of the other songs, which are much more upbeat, Sol Invictus is an a capella choral prayer to the sun and the day. Sol Invictus was the late Roman sun god, celebrated on December 25th; while listening to this song, I can easily imagine Thea Gilmore as his priestess, leading the believers in prayer while waiting for the sun to rise after the coldest night of the year. This is a truly heartfelt, spiritual song about longing for light.
