RACHELLE BENTLEY Waking Daylight | Daughter, mother, lover, friend… Woman
Rachelle Bentley has a voice full of nuances, all of them displayed in her new single ‘Waking Daylight‘. An awesome track between Pop and New Age in which she reflects on the multiple roles we play in family, professional and social life.
Story behind ‘Waking Daylight‘
We spend a lot of time remembering, don’t we? Memories sometimes give us wings, but sometimes they weigh us down ⚖️
In ‘Waking Daylight‘, Rachelle Bentley remembers fragments of her life, reconstructing through them the woman she is now.
The song is full of symbolism as seen in the verse:
Waking daylight. Blackbird claims the night. Comes the sight. Back in December. Back in December. Another life.
The blackbird, according to the ancient Hopi culture is the connector between darkness and the true self. December is the month when the longest night gives way to the rebirth of life.
- For Rachelle Bentley December is a very special month as both her mother and daughter were born then.
‘Waking Daylight’ is a musical journey underpinned by the sounds of a wonderful Hammond piano, nods to Madonna’s ‘Vogue’, and a clever chorus, sung by herself, that perfectly complements Rachelle’s main vocals on the bridge – a real treat!

The meaning of Waking Daylight is a game. ‘Waking’ means to be awake and aware. ‘Daylight’ is just that, daylight; so ‘Waking daylight hours’ refers to the hours that we live to the full while awake.

Who is Rachelle Bentley? | Brief biography
Rachelle Bentley is a British singer and songwriter who felt the call of the arts from an early age.
- Rachelle graduated in Humanities and Art History, although the 4 years she spent in New York would consolidate her love for jazz, incorporating music into her creative life expression.
After her promotional album ‘Jazz 8’, in 2011 she released her first album, ‘Christmas Gift‘, a careful selection of winter songs and Christmas classics encompassing jazz, swing and bossa-nova. Her interpretation of ‘Walking in the air’ is fantastic:
Like all artists, Rachelle earns her living through a variety of activities, including voice-over. I’m sure you’ve heard her on one occasion or another when listening to videos or audio guides at the Thyssen Museum, the Picasso Museum, the Royal Theatre or even the Maestranza in Seville. It is even more likely that you will have heard her in National Geographic documentaries or singing in English for Pocoyo 📺
- Rachelle is the main singer in Pocoyo’s album of nursery rhymes entitled ‘Numbers Song & More Nursery Rhymes (Vol.3)’.
Rachellenever up music, and she continues to demonstrate her elegance and wide vocal range at Jazz festivals, venues and theatres, releasing a new electronic single in 2020, ‘Human Love‘ in which she claims the importance of universal love as the ultimate solution to chaos.
This would be the advance of her 2020 album, ‘Out of the Blue‘. Rachelle wrote all the songs with a marked pop and New Age style.
Rachelle, who considers herself a citizen of the world, is an artist whose sensitivity has led her to a multifaceted activity in the world of art, voice acting and music. All this is reflected in her new project ‘Into the Deep’, of which we can already enjoy the first single, our Emotion of the Week, ‘Waking Daylight‘.

Rachelle Bentley 'Waking Daylight' Lyrics
Waking daylight
Waking daylight hours
Warm the soul
Got to remember
Got to remember
All she knows
Waking daylight
Waking daylight hours
Warm the snow
Got to remember
Got to remember
So long ago
And after all
She’d been a lover
Been another
She held to a mother
Just rememberAnd after all
She’d been a lover
Been another
She held to a mother
Just remember
Someone told her
Waking daylight
Blackbird claims the night
Comes the sight
Back in December
Back in December
Another life
And after all
She’d been a lover
Been another
She held to a mother
Just rememberAnd after all
She’d been a lover
Been another
She held to a mother
Just remember
Someone told her
Days remembering days
Days remembering days
Days remembering days
Days remembering days
Just remember
And after all
She’d been a lover
Been another
She held to a mother
Just rememberAnd after all
She’d been a lover
Been another
She held to a mother
Just remember
Rachelle Bentley 'Waking Daylight' Lyrics in Spanish
Horas de luz
Horas de luz
Calientan el alma
Tiene que recordar
Tiene que recordar
Todo lo que sabe
Horas de luz
Horas de luz
Calientan la nieve
Tiene que recordar
Tiene que recordar
Hace tanto tiempo
Y después de todo
Ella había sido una amante
Había sido otra
Se aferró a una madre
Solo recuerdaY después de todo
Ella había sido una amante
Había sido otra
Se aferró a una madre
Solo recuerda
Alguien le dijo
Horas de luz
El mirlo reclama la noche
Llega la vision
Allá por Diciembre
Allá por Diciembre
Otra vida
Y después de todo
Ella había sido una amante
Había sido otra
Se aferró a una madre
Solo recuerdaY después de todo
Ella había sido una amante
Había sido otra
Se aferró a una madre
Solo recuerda
Alguien le dijo
Días recordando días
Días recordando días
Días recordando días
Días recordando días
Solo recuerda
Y después de todo
Ella había sido una amante
Había sido otra
Ella se aferró a una madre
Solo recuerdaY después de todo
Ella había sido una amante
Había sido otra
Ella se aferró a una madre
Solo recuerda
