The Day’s Begun

In the final moments of our recording session at Studio Black Box, when all of the songs for the album had been recorded, one song remained. A purely acoustic track, a song for two – for and by and about the duo of LUX the band, that had seemingly been put aside for another day. But in a moment of insistance, with bags packed and everyone ready to leave, it seemed that there was just enough time and just enough tape left on one of the reels to lay it down. It would have to be fast, a one-take, just guitar and vocals recorded at the same time. In the same way that The Gare Saint-Lazare had been recorded on that very first LUX EP, the two protagonists went back in and in one take laid down the song. The song and its video came out this summer, an off-album track that speaks of love, over time. Here it is:
