It Costs Me - Demo June 2005

This beautiful song was written by Jodie, but we both share the sentiment.

It's part of a two song originals demo we did in June, for Scala

The Last Day In The World - Demo June 2005

2005-06-26T15:37:00.000+09:30

The first of our originals (for Candela, at any rate)! I think I might have been channelling Nick Cave when I wrote this.

It's part of a two song originals demo we did in June, for Scala.

Summertime - Demo Feb 2005

2005-06-26T15:34:00.000+09:30

This is a cover of Leonard Cohen's beautiful song about (predictably) love being all screwed up. Emlyn on lead vocals, Jodie with piano and harmonies. It's part of a four song covers-only demo we did in February.

Kumbayah - Demo Feb 2005

2005-06-26T15:28:00.000+09:30

This is the old christian guitar-and-tamborines-around-the-campfire cringe classic, redone in a minor key to breathe new (some, any!) life into it. You'll be surprised, have a listen! It's part of a four song covers-only demo we did in February.

Hi readers/listeners

This blog/podcast combination presents the music of Candela. While the sibling blog, Radio Candela, presents a podcastumentary of our rehearsal process, this one presents finished recordings.

The recordings here will mostly be demo quality that we've produced in our lounge room. I'm not sure what we'll do when we record production quality music, we'll see. But for now, we'll be trying to put all our new work here.

Also, we'll throw in recordings from previous work... our old band The Land Canaan, Jodie's Oratorio "Letters to a queen", or perhaps really old folky recordings by Jodie. It'll be down to our whims, pretty much!

I hope you enjoy it.

Emlyn, of Candela.
