about

“I Saw You Flying” is the emotive, intimate yet spacious second single of Copenhagen-based Bright Young Future’s upcoming album, “Life on the Bridge”. An experimental piece of hypnagogic pop - with some of the meditative qualities of ambient music - it brings forth pictures of rain, desolated urban areas and vermillion-colored skies. It’s a funeral hymn about letting go and saying goodbye to a loved one you’ll never see again. Vintage synth oddities and organs, ethereal tenor vocals and dynamic electronic processing meets in a nocturnal and deeply personal tune of great beauty, longing and sadness.

lyrics

There is no light no love
There is no sign
I recall the night
I saw you flying

I wandered through the city
In pouring rain
No one else in sight
No one to talk to

Your pale face
Shows a cross
My eyes are smiling
Your cancer makes me cry
Inside I’m dying

There is no light no love
There is no sign
I recall the night
I saw you flying
I recall the night
I saw you flying

I saw you in the sky
You were on fire
