    Glade is a collection of songs about home and the second full-length release from Colorado-born guitarist, singer, and producer, Courtney Hartman. Written in the span of a year following her return to a childhood home, the songs emanate from a place of quiet and sifting out. After leaving the east coast and the stage for a time, Courtney spent two years living with family, rebuilding the barn where she made a home, and recording soundscapes and melodies in the early, dark hours of morning. As the songs took shape, she brought in a handful of friends to contribute sounds from a distance including percussion from Shane Leonard, Jason Burger, and Tobias Banks, harmony from Gregory Alan Isakov and violin from Russell Durham. Glade is a slow simmer; intimate and churning, ready to hold your heart and ears.

lyrics

BRIGHT AT MY BACK
Courtney Hartman, BMI (Reckoner Publishing )

Do not let the light in
I’m not ready for the sight
Let the dark linger
Hold a morning star
Gentle in the night
I will lie beneath her

Be my comfort
Be my company

Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning

Pull away the mute
Covering my ears
Let me hear you whisper
Breaking the silent
Stillness of the year
How long have we stood there

Be my answer
Be my humbling

And let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning

You are the sky everything else is weather
No reason why anything else should matter
You are the sky everything else is weather
No reason why anything else should matter

So let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
