Away in the Sky

from The Acoustic(ish) EP by Andrew Stein

supported by

Nightingale Albeit I am more familiar with Stein through his pony pseudonym, I find his non-pony musings to be some of his best works (probably due to my preference of pony music that doesn't hold too much pony allusions so it is harder to listen outside the specified context.) Away in the Sky is particularly the best I've heard from this artist as it has the richest and widest atmospheric and contextual interpretation so far. To prove my point, try listening to this track during sunset flights.

lyrics

When the laughter is a veil
To cover up the feelings
When the smiles fade away
In the night

When you can't stand the silence
But it's all that you have
When you're acting brave but
Dying of fright

Cause no one really knows
And I hope it never shows
As long as they all believe
By the time I start to leave

To my home up away in the sky
How lucky I am, that they will never fly
To my home up away in the sky
Where I get to hide
Sit alone and cry
How I love my home
In the sky

They think that I'm a winner
But I'm losing my mind
'Cause I just don't seem to shine
Any more

They all disagree
And I don't deserve them
They're better to me than I should
Ever ask for

And still I need to be alone
In spite of the kindness they've shown
Tryin' not to show that I need
To spread my wings and leave

For my home up away in the sky
How lucky I am, that they will never fly
To my home up away in the sky
Where I get to hide
I sit alone and cry
How I love my home
In the sky
