Flying High

The aeroplane soars through a cloudless sky.
Vapour trails of white on a canvas of blue.
My head is in the clouds at the best of times.
Up here I get the feeling we're all just passing through.
We are so privileged looking down.
On the one home we all have to share.
40,000 kilos of metal in the sky.
Pushing onwards through the air.
The flight attendant’s make up bleaches features.
As they mime the crash procedures so casually.
Put on the mask that drops before helping others.
They’re forcing a fake smile whilst serving tepid tea.
If we hit the storm that’s normally above us.
I squeeze your hand so tight I get white knuckles.
I swear my love the turbulence can’t touch us.
It can't touch us.
Here with my family looking down.
On the one home we all have to share.
40,000 kilos of metal in the sky.
Pushing onwards through the air.
Pushing onwards through the air (flying high).
Pushing onwards through the air (flying high).
Pushing onwards through the air (flying high).
Pushing onwards through the air (flying high).

Moon

The moon swiftly spins around us.
Nothing is as static as it seems.
And we are all tidal.
Yes we are all tidal.
The sky is in a hurry to darken.
And in the dusk you hear the creatures rut.
And we are all animal.
Yes we are all animal.
The moonlight casts its glow on us.
Shades of silver light up the trees.
If I look down as I move forward.
I see the path emerge beneath my feet.
There is a chick on the pavement.
Unfeathered and embryonic.
And we are all connected.
Yes we are all connected.
Every sentence is a lament.
And every thought leads to dystopia.
And we all seek our purpose.
Yes we all seek our purpose.
The moonlight casts its glow on us.
Shades of silver light up the trees.
If I look down as I move forward.
I see the path emerge beneath my feet.

Sea of Days Brighton, UK
Fear can be a barrier when you are adrift. My heart is not working as it should and that is why this music needs to be made right now. Fusing the emotional weight of The National with music that has echoes of The Cure, Post Rock and Shoegaze. The songs acknowledge darkness but are always hopeful. ... more
