A Cavalry of Light

Lavender Diamond - You Broke My Heart

* * * * *

I'm not sure if I've ever heard a more triumphant announcement of a broken heart. As the instruments pound away at their pleasantly repetitive melody in the style of a Salvation Army marching band, singer Becky Stark progressively grows in size, eventually towering far above the song and the listener by the end, invoking cavalries of light, fields of battle, and ages of love in such a way that you can hear them rumbling through your apartment, ready to bury your mundane life in a deafening chorus of hymns.

P.S. Thanks David for introducing me to Lavender Diamond earlier this year.
P.P.S. You can buy their E.P. at the Lavender Diamond website.
