You take the sun away You pass it on to me You turn to dark again I dream cause I can Dance, let them dance for me Tears will come down some day Tears cause they’re hard as wood Would you let them burn Don't take the light away My hopes my dreams my life Don't take the sun from me My hopes my dreams my life Dance, let them dance into me People vs people can’t see Hands should be holding hands Hands should be holding hands Burn, let them burn for me Fear not, cause they can not touch me Hearts should be lost in hearts Hearts should be lost in hearts Don't take the light away My hopes my dreams my life Don't take the sun from me My hopes my dreams my life

about

Since founding Swedish synthpop duo KITE in 2008, singer Nicklas Stenemo and keyboardist Christian Hutchinson Berg’s brooding fusion of cinematic electronics and anthemic pop has steadily elevated into a spectacle of passion, atmosphere, and communion. Their debut double-A vinyl single for Dais Records, Don't take the light away / Remember me captures KITE at their most urgent, thrilling and apocalyptic.

"Don't take the light away" is a song about “the war between energies,” with singer Stenemo’s wounded croon leading a rising tide of stabbing strings, pulsing percussion, and looming bass orchestrated by keyboardist Hutchinson Berg, surging to a mass-chanted chorus both desperate and triumphant (“dance, let them dance into me / people versus people can’t see / hands should be holding hands”). "Remember me" was written following the band's 2017 US tour, capturing the intense feelings of burnout and exhaustion. "Remember me, Won't you remember me, Promise you'll remember me."

Words only tell half of the story; smoke spills across the stage, and the melodies become a battle cry. Our worst fears eventually boil over, turning into hope and resilience. Like the best of KITE’s music, "Don't take the light away" and "Remember me" fuse theater and catharsis into anthems of universal yearning, born of “the struggle to keep a flickering candle lit in a very dark space.”
