Civil Twilight is a four-piece rock band from Cape Town, South Africa, consisting of the brothers Andrew and Steven McKeller, plus Richard Wouters, and Kevin Dailey.
They spent several years practicing in local church halls and garages before graduating to the local club scene, where they steadily became a well-respected act. Having finished their education, the bandmates then relocated to Los Angeles in August 2005; shortly thereafter, they signed with the indie label One October and co-produced their debut record, Human. Their musical influences, interests, and heroes range from Oasis to Wilco, The National to Grizzly Bear.
Civil Twilight’s debut single in 2010, "Letters from the Sky", reached #5 on the Alternative radio charts and remained in the Top 10 for 6 months of the year, with over 1000 spins throughout Texas, and from Philadelphia to Seattle, selling over 200,000 copies.
"Letters from the Sky"
One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape, and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall
Into the sea, and they'll know
And everything will escape, and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall
Into the sea, and they'll know
That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away
One of these days letters are gonna fall
From the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way to let everybody know
That you're coming back, you're coming back for me
From the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way to let everybody know
That you're coming back, you're coming back for me
'Cause even though you left me here
I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here
Hold me here
Hold me here
The only walls that hold me here
I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here
Hold me here
Hold me here
The only walls that hold me here
One day soon I'll hold you like the sun holds the moon
And we will hear those planes overhead
And we won't have to be scared
'Cause we won't have to be, yeah
Oh 'cause we won't have to be yeah, scared no oh
And we will hear those planes overhead
And we won't have to be scared
'Cause we won't have to be, yeah
Oh 'cause we won't have to be yeah, scared no oh
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back to me
You're coming back to me
You're coming back for me, yeah
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
