In the Blossom of Their Shade

Long for the Heaven I Seek

Fly is the 2nd single from Manchester artist Test Card Girl's debut synth-folk EP due out in July. Written during the long hot days of lockdown, the song is about feeling trapped inside, whilst jealously watching a fly explore the 4 corners of the room and then fly off through the window to freedom. Sonically, it is a result of hearing Kraftwerk's 'Autobahn' playing in the background while half-watching a programme about colliery bands in British mining towns. It's a rallying cry to stand up and walk to nowhere.

The track was produced by Seadna McPhail at Airtight Studios in Manchester and features I Am Kloot drummer Andy Hargreaves. Production was funded by an Arts Council England grant gratefully received in 2021. Test Card Girl will be releasing another single at the end of April and her debut EP in July 2022. She was recently chosen as one of Manchester International Festival's MIF Sounds 2022-23 artists and will be performing regularly in and around the North of England and beyond this year.

Lyrics:

I've tried a thousand times
To drink your face out of my mind
I can't erase those emerald eyes
The way the looked at me
When we were broke and 23
Underneath the California sky

Nice to know you're getting by
Why do I even, even try?

I can't help this
Shadow sickness

I lie away at night
Wishing for a different timeline
When you and I are side by side
Listening to records that we used to spin like all the time
Mouthing out the loud parts line by line

Nice to know you're getting by
Why do I even, even try?

I can't help this
Shadow sickness

Try as I may
Can't help but to stay inside all day
Thinkin' bout the one who got away
Really nothing more that I can say

I can't help this
Shadow sickness

Nice to know you're getting by
Why do I even, even try?

I've tried a thousand times 
To drink your face out of my mind
