Song Lyrics
Nobody believed you when you were shouting it outNo we didn't want to listen 'cos we were full of doubt and time runs outIt's over there's nothing left to...
Nobody believed you when you were shouting it out No we didn't want to listen 'cos we were full of doubt and time runs out It's over there's nothing left to do There's nothing for tomorrow only skies of blue
When the lights went out I started to believe it I was picking up the debris and I saw I didn't need it And pictures of a broken world were clouding up my eyes With the shock of knowing everything we built it on was lies But it's better now than later if there's later Yeah it's better now before the storm
When the sun is breaking through I think about those lost days We prayed for skies so blue and here we are It's over there's nothing left to do There's nothing for tomorrow only skies of blue Just sit and wait yeah
Looking back I can see your religion But looking back is the wrong way now Up ahead there's a whole new vision Better pray that we win somehow 'Cos it's better now than later if there's later Yeah it's better now before the storm
When the sun is breaking through I think about those lost days We prayed for skies so blue and here we are It's over there's nothing left to do There's nothing for tomorrow only skies of blue Just sit and wait yeah

Slightly pessimistic in tone, I'd been watching too many of those futurist eco-disaster films, perhaps! I'm sure the sun...

Thanks for listening :)
All the best my friends,

Beautiful vocals harmonies. I hear some kind of modulation. Panning? I also love that arpeggio section.
Great construction on this one it’s non stop but in a good way.
I liked the driving guitar parts and of course the little sky lead I’m a sucker for that sound.
As a view on where we are and perhaps where we are heading it’s poignant.
Can’t see things changing anytime soon though there’s too much power and wealth at stake.
A damned fine tune Chris

Reviewing 2 of your tunes in one session reminds me of how confident and professional this material is - as I said earlier, completely irresistible. ftlpope

Great song Chris. I hope the implication of your lyrics is not prophetic but I fear they may not be. In any case, nice composition and production.

Great quality on this track, excellent song writing and production....the guitars are a pure listening pleasure! highly enjoyed listening to this track, thanks for sharing.

Fabulous song Chris even if the lyric is a bit of a downer! It's great to hear you're back in action and all your vox sound excellent here. I like the guitar work (at least I think it's a guitar) that runs in tandem with the synth lead. Great production!

Polished songwriting here...love the intro, starts off very strong and remains consistent throughout the entire song...
Vocals are the highlite for me, harmonies , melodies, within...noice.
impressive is the keyboard work and the understanding of how other instruments are handled and approached...
Song of the week !! without a doubt. Congrates Chris, well deserved!!

Lovely work, Chris and a well-deserved accolade. Love the production and superb vocals. Loved the bubbly synth sound. Really liked the way you launched into the track with classic harmonies. Great balance between keys, bass drums and vocals. Superb work.

Hey All, great to be here on the Mix - the best indie site of them all!
I've done my share of playing in bands over the years. Started out playing the piano at 4 years old, taught by my father, who had music coming out of every pore in his body. My first ever band was when I was 13, playing with my brother and a couple of friends from the village where we grew up in the south-west of England. Trouble is my brother was 15, and he played keyboards too, and he was bigger than me, so I bought my first electric guitar from Woolworths for £15 and set to learning that.
Never got too good on the guitar, and when a couple of years later my brother left to join another band, I went back to the keyboards. Moved to London when I was 19, and got into a semi-pro band playing early 80s new romantic stuff, then quit my day job and joined a pro band playing jazz-funk around Europe for a while. Finally ended up in Edinburgh, where I picked up another day job and joined a band playing all over Scotland for the next 5 years.
Then came about 15 years of being "sensible" and making a career for myself in London, while I watched my brother playing on just about every major stage in the world and one or two old friends becoming household names. I came back to music in 2004, after I moved to France to get away from the rat-race, but it didn't last too long, and I was soon back to commuting to London every week to earn a living again. Moved back to the UK in 2013 and finally gave up the day job in London in 2016, after a weekly routine of planes and trains that lasted for nearly 12 years. During the last four years, we got a band together at my company in London, and won the battle of the bands in London's financial sector twice in three years, both times at the O2 Academy in Islington - it almost made me feel like a rock star...
So soon, once all the work on our house on the edge of Exmoor (Somerset, south west England) is finished, I'll be able to spend more time writing and recording. For now, apart from working on the house and the garden, I'm keeping fit with our year-old German Shepherd out in the hills, getting a few musical ideas down and will maybe come up with a new song from time to time.
The main bits of gear I'm using are a Roland FA-08 and a Korg M50, an old Roland EP95 piano (bought in 1998!) and a Korg X5, and my old Jackson guitar makes an appearance now and then. One day I'll get my studio finished!
Beautiful vocals harmonies. I hear some kind of modulation. Panning? I also love that arpeggio section.
Skies - mine falling yours blue..
