Fake Blue Sky

Liner Notes

Lyrics

So I just got it from the store
Silicon dreams I’m sure
I put my life in my pocket
We’re all made of glass

They'll write a poem that sounds like mine
They'll play the tunes as sweet as wine
Oh it makes me feel like I
Like I disappear

Make me come undone
I swear I’ll pretend that I
Won’t tell the difference
Truth is what we hide
Behind a fake blue sky
A fake blue sky

While I turn into machines
Machines turn into me
I took a picture for you
But it’s only in my mind

Where did we go wrong? turns to
Why do we move on?
When the world turns against us
We turn away from ourselves

Help me come undone
I swear I’ll pretend that I
Won’t tell the difference
Show me what we hide
Behind a fake blue sky
A fake blue sky

Just in the acoustic part at the beginning I hear snippets of early Bowie... Nice. I do love the whole band coming in. The dynamic of this song is sweet as well as the juxtaposition of mechanical subject matter with analogue instruments.

Great song concept - love the title and your lyrical writing style - like this verse
"While I turn into machines
Machines turn into me
I took a picture for you
But it’s only in my mind"

The melody is very compelling. I am really enjoying your production skills and how you build songs - something I am working on. Cool repeating bass theme. I love this kind of angsty vibe and your ability to convey emotions musically is excellent!
