I’ve been a part of Open Swimmer for a wee while now. I love singing songs, and I love harmony. I wanted to share a wee snippit from our facebook of late:

”This is the amazing new videoblog by HowWeSang. Open Swimmer were blessed enough to be the first ever installment. The song is the b-side of our forthcoming single: Sugar Bowl, released on the 28th of Feb. for download everywhere good.”

When we shot this video, it was probably minus 12 and faintly snowing. The cold had seeped inbetween our toes and we couldn’t breathe in through our noses for fear of sniffing on ice. There is a beautiful ‘still’ that the snow brings. Everything is white and eerie, but the air is clean and calm, as though lighter than usual. As we stood singing, the curls in my hair fell out and froze up. Our voices hit the bare trees without echoing, and our smiles were a little frostbitten, but it was lovely.

This song is a favourite of mine and is about the Kelvin River.

I hope you enjoy.
