This one is pretty minimal in production and lyrically. Nekane is on vocals. I'm getting through the flu season here at my house, LOL. I'm feeling better, though.

Thanks, JAPOV. In a poetic way, it what was once a source of peace (the blue sky) has now become a source of heartbreak. 🌞🎢

How do I survive
When the color of blue
Jilted my sky
And simply
broke me in two

How do I survive
My cloudy sky
Of jilted blue
Has simply
Broke me in two... wink

I agree with Elvis. This seems ideal for sync. Maybe more so than as a stand-alone song because of the obscure and vague nature of the lyrics, something which could be an advantage in sync, along with its dreamy quality, which could lend itself to numerous cinematic contexts. Beautiful production!

Thank you, Gavin, for your kind words. Yes, this one is for sync too. All my songs are for sync now. Artist cuts are hard to get even indies. Their managers, producers, etc, choose their songs for them anymore. It's not like it used to be back in the day.

A soul broke with
too much bending
Instead of soaring
I’m descending

Is it worth the sad

How do I survive
When the color of blue
Jilted my sky
And simply
broke me in two

What’s left of me
can’t find the light
Stuck in the wreckage
of our fight

Is it worth the sad

How do I survive
When the color of blue
Jilted my sky
And simply
broke me in two

The ground beneath
won’t let me rise
Still trapped under
your endless lies

How do I survive
When the color of blue
Jilted my sky
And simply
broke me in two


This is a superb lyric, starting with the first 2 lines..... and I love how you took an old theme and burned the mundane box, most of us write in, giving it a newness that comes with the kind of writing expressed here.

A soul broke with
too much bending....simple and to the point

Is it worth the sad....just a great line....particularly...”the sad”

When the color of blue
Jilted my sky........I interpreted blue to be sadness, that’s why it makes sense

Even your use of the word β€œsimply” is perfect....I think you may have given some thought to its use....

Excellent writing Marilyn
