about

Written during the Covid pandemic, this song in about connection when (physically) apart. An intentionally oversized, bubbling with joy pop song in 6/8 beat, like an Anime soundtrack, one could think. Intentionally contrary to the dark and helpless times globally gone through.. a gesture of hope.

lyrics

Watching The Sky for Changes

Dashes and speckles and smudges
Brushstrokes from tender to bold
Indigo, Persimmon and Violet
And Marigold.

Every new day that is dawning
Is an open canvas with you
Our future history circuit
Refined anew

I’m watching the sky for changes when you’re away
(countng the days and the nights away)
When fluffy clouds make funny faces
I know you’re here to stay

If Venus and Mars had a daughter
It would be our honey moon.
She’d host us whenever we wanna
Anytime soon.

I’m watching the sky for changes when you’re away
(counting the days and the nights away)
When fluffy clouds make funny faces
I know you’re here to stay—— hey!

—instrumental interlude 8 bars—

I’m watching the sky for changes when you’re away
(counting the days and the nights away)
When fluffy clouds make funny faces
I know you’re here to stay

In time we’ll be going places rummaging around
(for the happiness that we persue)
The day we’ll go paper chasing
I’ll leave you traces
And wait for you

(Ritardando):
I’m watching the sky for changes
Where the wind blows is where we’re at home
When fluffy clouds make funny faces
We are never alone
