NO SUN

SONG LYRICS

THE MAGIC DAY ARRIVES I’M IN THE STREET.
THE SHADOWS COVER ME IN SOFT DEFEAT.
IT MAKES YOU WONDER HOW WE MIGHT SURVIVE
WITHOUT THE MEANS TO WARM OUR WEARY LIVES.

IT MAKES YOU WONDER HOW WE MIGHT
SURVIVE – IT MAKES YOU WONDER.
IT MAKES YOU GRIP THE POWER OF SIGHT.
ALIVE, YOU BOOM LIKE THUNDER.

THE LAND IS MINE BUT YOU ARE OUT OF REACH.
I CALL YOU OUT, I LEARN TO NEVER TEACH.
YOU SOW MY SEED IN IN ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT.
THE CAST OF MAN COULD NEVER SHED SO BRIGHT.

CHORUS:
NO SUN, NO TOMORROW.
DON’T LOOK, LENS IS HOLLOW.
NO SUN, NO TOMORROW FOR ME.

DESCRIPTION

A song inspired by the total eclipse phenomenon. We have a need for the warming sun to prosper our lives, but we also have a need to protect the land on which we live from damage - and the sun can do that. The song drives in a 'rock' style, but with jazz chords stimulating the melodic content. I created the song initially on my keyboard, then added layers of guitar (my main instrument) and my own basic vocals.
