about

In the case of ‘the sky wore faded denim’. I was walking with my Friend's Dave and Hellish's 5 year old daughter Maya. The moon was out in the pale blue afternoon sky, the Botswana sky was as enormous as ever, if you've ever seen it, its bigger than Donald Trump's bullshit. Maya fervently raised her fist towards the moon and yelled ‘Go to sleep you silly sausage!’ ( obviously something Dave tells her when she’s awake past her bedtime.) I wrote the song as a gift to that family and the moon.... I also had a dream once that I was going to be shown something really cool by some diety Styled figure, but when I went for the reveal, the deity said I was partying too much and had to lay off the sauce for a couple months until I could see it. So I layed off the source, and a couple months later I heard a melody in my dream. I attributed it to the first deity, Its the melody in this here song.... just in case you were wondering.

lyrics

The sky wore faded denim

Emin9-Gadd9- Cadd9

The edge of the atmosphere
delicately lullabied my ear
 While the sky was draped in crimson

Then the sun was shining nice nice
the birds was cracking bird jokes
the sky wore faded denim

You you you
Hold my heart hostage
You you you

Emin G C
Ohh
Go to sleep you silly sausage
Ohh
For the sun shines in this old town
Ohh
I’ll rise, come sun down to breathe in some ancient knowledge

You had your chance all last night
to  bathe this world in moonlight
While the sky wore diamond undies

While you were Gilded dragon egg 
You left the sky an unmade bed
Laced in lilac linen

You you you
Hold my heart hostage
You you you
Make a sucker outta me

Ohh
Go to sleep you silly sausage
Ohh
For the sun shines in this old town
Ohh
I’ll rise come sundown to breathe in some ancient knowledge

You you you
Hold my heart hostage
You you you
The sky wears faded denim
And then some and then some
