As each curator of A holds a fascination with music to varying degrees, it has become our monthly staple to feature tracks that have been loved by our curator, and which are presented in the pages of their issue. Martine Sitbon’s A#5 offers a myriad of musical references, from Bowie to Interpol to the Carpenters, revealing the taste of an indie rock chick with time for the softer moments in life. Such is this whimsically soft indie pop track from US group Sparklehorse, off their album Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain. Enjoy.

PLEASE DON’T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY BY SPARKLEHORSE

“your face is like the sun sinking into the ocean

your face is like watching flowers growing in fast motion
all your kisses i swallowed
brightened mornings and hollows
my vines and tree knots will come unwound
baby you are my sunshine
my sunshine
please don’t take my sunshine away

the grounded fireflies are little stars that are dying
returning to the earth i can hear them crying
like christmas bulbs that i swallowed
slept in a tree that’s gone hollow
and never a brittle wintertime
baby you are my sunshine
my sunshine
please don’t take my sunshine away

sunshine
my sunshine
please don’t take my sunshine away”
