Time To Let Things Go

Yorkshire’s very own Skylights release the new music video for their fantastic single ‘Time To Let Things Go’. It’s an uplifting but melancholic and emotive song, with the signature SKYLIGHTS sound. The music video shows off the amazing location of Aberdeen and clips of the bands gig at The Lemon Tree.

Turnbull says of the music video :

“Although we are a York based band we have been travelling up to play gigs in Aberdeen for a few years now and it’s become our second home as we have moved up to bigger and bigger venues there each time. On one of our visits I was introduced to local Videographer, Glen Cairns, who came across like a top man, so we asked him to film our gig at the Lemon Tree. He did an amazing job, and we knew straight away we wanted him to make the video for Time To Let Things Go. He was very busy with the birth of his first child, but he managed to fit us in and film around our biggest gig in Aberdeen at the legendary Beach Ballroom, what a night! Glen did a wonderful job of capturing that emotional night and the character of the people there and the Granite City itself. We are really pleased because we have a huge connection with Aberdeen. The people are fantastic and have really looked after us and made us feel welcome. So to have this video filmed there was brilliant. We know a local girl called Jenna who works with Glenn, and she was more than happy to star in the video – she’s done a fantastic job, and we’re really proud to have her representing our song. The city of Aberdeen looks absolutely beautiful in this video.”

Yorkshire’s anthemic rock‘n’rollers SKYLIGHTS release their huge new single ‘TIME TO LET THINGS GO’ out now.

With stunning artwork by Paul Evans (Painted Papillon Smile), the limited 7” Vinyl comes in translucent blue with previous digital-only release REBELLION on the flip side, while the CD comes with two additional exclusive live tracks.

It’s an uplifting but melancholic and emotional song, with the signature SKYLIGHTS sound. Guitarist Turnbull Smith says: “It reflects on life as if every moment has been written in a book; good and bad experiences, pivotal decisions and hard choices where you have had to let things and people go, no matter how hard it was to do, to ultimately change your path in life for the better”.

The release signals the start of another exciting year for these underground indie heroes, regarded by many as ‘the people’s band’. SKYLIGHTS play Magna, Sheffield on 20th April, alongside The Enemy and The Farm, and have an exciting hometown headline show lined up for later in the year at York’s largest indoor music venue, details TBA in due course. More big live shows are in the diary and new tunes are promised for 2024, details to be announced soon.

Infusing Britpop and post punk influences, Skylights have built a strong and unrivalled reputation and a loyal, passionate following through memorable sold-out headline shows in venues across the UK, festival appearances (inc. TRNSMT) and amazing support slots (inc. Cast & Shed Seven) since their debut single release in 2020.

Hard work, relentless gigging, and social media interaction have helped to build their growing fanbase, which includes a surprisingly eclectic array of sports and media celebs including the BBC’s Mike Bushell, Josh Warrington, Guy Mowbray, Gaetano Berardi, and Westlife’s Nicky Byrne to name but a few. Previous singles ‘Enemies’ and ‘Darkness Falls’, and their debut album What You Are have all hit the UK Physical, Vinyl and iTunes charts.

The band are going from strength to strength with each fantastic release, the support from their loyal fans and amazing sell out shows. It’s the start to an exciting year ahead for Skylights.

Check out the fantastic new single out now on all streaming platforms.
