With their latest album, Eyes Like Stars, Harvest Runes delivers a mesmerizing alternative soundscape, and one track that stands out is the hypnotic “Patterns of Light.” This song is a poetic meditation on love, fate, and the cosmic interplay of light and symmetry—wrapped in an ambient, otherworldly sound.
From the very first line, “If stories can tell us of our fate, then maybe shadows and light can do the same,” Harvest Runes sets a reflective and cinematic tone. The lyrics unfold like an intricate tapestry, blending ethereal imagery with deep emotional resonance. The recurring theme of light as a guide is beautifully illustrated in lines like “Shattered like a thousand broken mirrors, like morning light through a kaleidoscope.” The song evokes both fragility and transcendence, leading the listener through a dreamlike experience.
Musically, “Patterns of Light” is rich with atmospheric textures, layered melodies, and haunting vocals that drift effortlessly over a rhythmic pulse. Fans of Radiohead, Sigur Rós, or Explosions in the Sky will find themselves drawn into its immersive world. The closing repetition of “Bind us in the dark of night” leaves a lingering, almost mystical effect, making it a track that stays with you long after the final note.
Now available on the Eyes Like Stars album, “Patterns of Light” is a must-listen for those who appreciate music that is both poetic and transcendent. Harvest Runes continues to prove that alternative music can be more than just sound—it can be an experience.
Check out “Patterns of Light” and let yourself get lost in its glow.
