On my lips
Do you always run away when it gets wild?
Bittersweet
Fleeting bliss
I guess I haven't felt electric for some time
Feels like a new rush, new rush flowering
Oh, like a break in the ice
Felt like the clouds got tired of opening
But oh, I ain't felt light in a while
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Wide awake
From the breeze
How the hell did I get so numb to desire?
Mix the paints
On the page
'Cause I ain't nothing without joy and sorrow's fire
Feels like a new dawn, new song playin' loud
Oh, this bitter peace in my mind
Felt like the stars got bored of coming out
But oh, I caught 'em up there last night
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
It's about damn time, damn, time
Damn time
Would I be who I am without the sadness in me?

Kinda boring
Heard this faintly in the background and was like "why does he keep singing 'is that a new scar'?"
Solid 7 from me!
William, I have been a listener since 2003. (How can that possibly be 22 years. We went through a good chunk of life together!!) And I just have to tell you that this song and discovering this album feels like when you introduced me to Silver Sun Pickups. You gave me something I needed right when I needed it. You still have that magic and that's why I'm still here. xoxo

Beautiful day here in Sunset Beach NC / BLUE SKY and 75.
It's another wonderful day for a beachcomber and being retired from the salt-mine.😉
A lot of new music on a rainy day here in Germany... thanks a lot!

Well, they are from Great Britain and it can be quite gray and wet there too. I identify with the emotional metaphor presented. Good tune.
Pretty good song. Lyrics are great, they must have lived in Seattle at some point. LOL
Is that a blue sky, is that a blue sky? Its about damn time.

OH NO!!!
This earworm infected me for about 24 hours last time Bill played it. It's a very invasive tune and chorus lyric

I know exactly how you feel. But I'll take it any day over mid-west snow and California wildfires.
Spoke too soon. Blanketed in snow today!

Living in the Pacific Northwest of the US, the chorus really really resonates with me.

I suppose this affirms their English origins?!
First listen. Liking it and not sure quite why. Strings? Wall of sound? I'll just go with it for now.
I really like this! Once again RP bringing the new music into my life! Thanks William!
