Circulus are a psychedelic folk/progressive rock band from South London, England, put together by vocalist and songwriter Michael Tyack. Circulus believe that high-life is actually medieval life. This is reflected in their varied work, which they describe as "hurtful to people's ears."
The band uses a mix of modern and medieval instruments, such as the lute, bongos and the modern bass and electric guitars. They claim to believe in fairies and pixies.
My Body Is Made Of Sunlight
Circulus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love you will find, love you will find
Then she looked down to her shoes
Then looked up to the sky one more time
Sky one more time
And as the mushroom told its tale she screamed My God!
My body is made of sunlight
My body is made of love
You will find
She sat down on the grass and watched the fairies
Dance sing a song, dance sing a song
Of how the earth, the trees, the sky and everything is
Made in this way, made in this way
And as the words sinked in, she screamed My God!
My body is made of sunlight
There can be no other way
My body is made of love
You will find
In "My Body Is Made Of Sunlight," Circulus tells the story of a woman who is searching for love. She crosses a bridge and tells herself that she will find it, and as she looks down to her shoes and up to the sky, she is overcome with emotion. As a mushroom tells its tale, she screams out in wonder, realizing that her body is made of sunlight and love. She sits on the grass and watches the fairies dance and sing a song about how everything around her is made in the same way. The words sink in, and she screams out again, amazed at the realization of her own existence.
This song is a beautiful ode to the wonders of nature and the magic that surrounds us every day. The lyrics encourage us to look within ourselves and see the beauty that lies within. The references to fairies, mushrooms, and the earth remind us of the interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of taking care of our environment. The repeated refrain of "My body is made of sunlight" emphasizes our own place in the natural world and reminds us of our own potential for love and light.

I have been to many places in the world of youtube...I have dwelled where Caravan sang from the land of pink and grey, I have centred myself within the Om of the moody blues and found balance with them also...now I journey here and seek the sunlight from Circulus. I am all but complete
