2) Sparkee was born of the eclectic atmosphere of the Brighton (UK) music scene in the late '90s.
Once described as "Indie Lounge Pop" the melodic and haunting vocals coupled with intricate compositions and compelling shifts of time signature gives the band a presence that enraptures and relaxes the soul.
The core membership consisted of songwriter and keyboard player Will Calderbank, lead vocalist and flute player Hilary Jones, Russel Bond on drums, the bassist Steve Last and vocals plus percussion brought by Fiona Stokes.
At Church Road Studios in Hove in May of 1998 the band recorded the "Sparkee Get Lucky" EP. This featured some favourites such as "Winsday Blues" and "Dog".
Along the way, various guest members provided a plethora of new instrumental flavours to the sound and, in their final incarnation, Dan Tish joined as lead guitarist.
Shortly after the "Life Raft" EP was recorded (in 2000) the band split. Sadly, there have been no plans for a reunion.
New Day
Sparkee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running from the past
Looking for a way to make it last
Life is only on computers
But you came into my path
Now I'm seeing rainbows and I gotta say
This is the age when I'm losing all my memories
This is the age when I'm staring at a blank TV
But in this age of grey, you're a brand new day
This is the age when I'm losing all my memories
This is the age when I'm staring at a blank TV
This is the age when I'm lying on an empty stage
But in this age of grey, you're a brand new day
Life is full of these illusions
When the world is getting loud
I try to find your voice among the crowd
Time to eliminate confusion and erase the evening clouds
And embrace the here and now
This is the age when I'm losing all my memories
This is the age when I'm staring at a blank TV
This is the age when I'm lying on an empty stage
But in this age of grey, you're a brand new day
This is the age when I'm losing all my memories
This is the age when I'm staring at a blank TV
This is the age when I'm lying on an empty stage
But in this age of grey, you're a brand new day
Come alive
Come alive (It's a new day)
Come alive (It's a new day)
Come alive (It's a new day)
Come alive (It's a new day)
It's a new day
It's a new, new day

I've been running from the future
I have been avoiding thinking about what lies ahead
Running from the past
Avoiding dwelling on past experiences
Looking for a way to make it last
Searching for a way to prolong happiness or success
Life is only on computers
Life seems to revolve around technology and virtual experiences
But you came into my path
But then you entered my life
Now I'm seeing rainbows and I gotta say
Now I'm experiencing immense joy and I must admit
This is the age when I'm losing all my memories
At this stage in life, I am starting to forget things from the past
This is the age when I'm staring at a blank TV
At this stage in life, I find myself mindlessly watching television
This is the age when I'm lying on an empty stage
At this stage in life, I feel like I am all alone with no audience
But in this age of grey, you're a brand new day
But in this dull and monotonous phase of life, you bring hope and freshness
Life is full of these illusions
Life is filled with deceptive appearances
When the world is getting loud
When the world becomes overwhelming and noisy
I try to find your voice among the crowd
I attempt to identify your voice amidst the chaos
Time to eliminate confusion and erase the evening clouds
It's time to clear away the confusion and dispel the darkness of uncertainties
And embrace the here and now
And fully embrace the present moment
Come alive
Energize and feel alive
It's a new day
It's a fresh start and a new beginning
It's a new, new day
It's an even newer and more exciting day
