Glacier Heart digital single

Glacier Heart, my first vocal collaboration with rising star Ren Faye, has been reissued as a two-track digital single. I originally released the song in July last year, but it soon got lost in the quagmire of independent music on streaming services.

The new single features an updated mix of Glacier Heart and also comes with an instrumental b-side. We are incredibly proud of this song, and this time, it also seems to be getting heard – if you enjoy the Glacier Heart, please help spread the word!

Glacier Heart is available now via Bandcamp, as well as Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, Tidal and Deezer – see https://linktr.ee/thelightdreams for streaming options. Spotify users can also hear the track as part of Joe Tavano’s Relaxing Indie Moods playlist.

Glacier Heart also has a video, which has recently been picked by by Angel in the Dark’s popular YouTube channel.

Glacier Heart – streaming and video

“Glacier Heart” is now available for streaming on Spotify, and a new video has been created for the song.

The track was recorded remotely – commonplace these days, but perhaps moreso during Covid times.

I have recently been composing tracks for potential songs, as it suddenly felt like the right time to test the water in this direction – but it had to be with the right kind of vocalist. Then I heard one of Ren’s tracks on SoundCloud and really loved her voice – we’ve been in touch for a while, but never discussed our music – I sent my demo over and asked if she would like to record some vocals for it… and in no time at all, she came up with these beautiful, enchanting lyrics and amazing vocals to go with it. It was one of those ‘perfect fit’ moments.

As an instrumentalist, I had never mixed vocals before, so this was an interesting new challenge, but I knew exactly how I wanted it to sound and the kind of cinematic atmosphere it should have. Having worked with other musicians in the past, I know how rewarding creative collaboration is, whether you are in the same room or working remotely – if you’re on the same wavelength, exciting things always happen, and that was definitely the case here. Ren and I are delighted with the finished track, and that has encouraged us to work on more pieces together, hopefully with a view to releasing an EP in the near future.

Here’s the video for “Glacier Heart”…

Glacier Heart

I’m really happy to share my first vocal collaboration, “Glacier Heart” featuring Ren Faye.

I have long wanted to work with a vocalist and Ren’s captivating and atmospheric voice turned out to be an absolutey perfect complement to my music. I’d never mixed vocals before either, so this was an interesting new area to venture into – and if all goes to plan, there will be more in the near future with a view to releasing an EP on Bandcamp.
