about

This is a song that was written quickly in 2013 or 2014 while drunkenly looking up at the stars one night. It was written so quickly that I just "tossed it" in the done pile and then moved on to the next song. Late in 2021 I came across the simple acoustic demo that I made for it and for the first time I heard more potential in it than when it was originally written.. Off and on over the next few months I played around with it and eventually brought it into it's current incarnation. I enjoyed getting to experiment with different sounds. I went for "damaged" sci-fi.
I hope you enjoy it.

lyrics

Someone Else's Sky - Lyrics

You spin 'round a star in someone else's sky
I see you there by bended light
Weaving through the beams of someone else's dream
Illuminating my foolish scheme
To follow the trail of a comet's tail
Nebula's stretch and shake out their veils
Like diamonds splayed 'cross a jewel store cloth
Mirrors within show me I am lost

Orbit around
Orbit around
Orbit around
We go round and round
Orbit around
Orbit around

Is it a race or a chase
You set the gravity to keep me in place
Could the tides be displaced
By tonight's satellite that will change it's phase

There's a soft bit of violence in the heaven's tonight
Upon the hill it's a beautiful site
Dot to dot lines and hopscotching rocks
Ancient constellations who's name time forgot
That follow the trail of a comet's tail
Nebulas stretch and shake out their veils
Where you spin 'round a star in someone else's sky
I'm leaving now, I'll get there tonight

Orbit around
Orbit around
Orbit around
We go round and round
Orbit around
Orbit around

Is it a race or a chase
You set the gravity to keep me in place
Could the tides be displaced
By tonight's satellite that reveals my face

You spin 'round a star in someone else's sky
I'm leaving now to get there tonight
Leaving my home for somewhere I don't know
I'll meet you where it'll be ours alone
