LA-based singer/songwriter Haylie Davis today shares a fifth song from her upcoming debut album Wandering Star, out June 5 via Fire Records. Keeping with the cosmic theme of the recently shared title track, the cinematic country track "Horns of Time" is inspired by a real-life stargazer and a method for tracking the movement of the stars.
Listen below:
As Davis explains in a press release:
“I’ve been going to a woman’s gathering in Northern California since I was a young kid. There’s a woman there who goes by ‘Stargazer Lee’ and she holds group stargazing out in the field at night where she teaches astrology and astronomy. She’s truly a genius in her story telling and knowledge of the cosmos. One thing she taught us is that when you hold your fingers in a “rock on” form against the sky, the distance in between your pointer finger and pinky accounts for about an hour of time on earth- and it can help you tell how long it will take for a star to set below the horizon. This measure is called ‘Horns of Time’ because your fingers look like little horns and they keep time. But I think it stuck with me because it also points to how tiny we really are under all those stars.”
Listen to the four previous singles over on Bandcamp.
