Jon Lawless, aka Swim Good describes Daylight as a fictionalized version of his life. It begins pretty downcast, a break-up has occurred: “Going through a phase where I don’t see the sun,” Lawless sings on “Grand Beach,” the second track. But as you make your way through the recording, the mood shifts to more buoyant times and the sun comes up. Lawless explains that while it starts with “Friday Nite Lites,” the culminating track “Daylight” is like Sunday morning.
