Up In The  Blue Sky

A beautiful day
If I get my way
We’ll be up up up
Get in my flying machine
Live the dream (yeah)

Don’t be afraid
We’ll be fine
You can trust in me
She is one of a kind
(Are you ready for) a real good time? (yeah)

Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side
Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side

A little bit cold
Hold me tight
No-one can touch us here
(Out Of Mind)
Out of sight (alright)

Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side
Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side

They say what goes up must come down
What do they know
Get our head up in the clouds
Don’t want to touch the ground no-more 

Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side
Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side


Up In The Blue Sky - isunray & raymond hayter (FREE DOWNLOAD)

A touch of the boss, electronic styles.

"I'm On Fire" is one of my all time favourite songs. It's a tad lusty and possibly a bit dodgy. For me though it perfectly captures the spirits of longing and desire.

I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen Cover

Jimm and the crew from Eminent Sol asked me to remix their tribute to the 80's Decade (Where Does The Time Go?).

Decade (Where Does The Time Go?) isunray "Perfectly Good White Boy Mix"

One of the most beautiful melodies ever from my favourite band from my teenage years, Orchestral Manouevres In The Dark (OMD).

Originally from their "experimental album" Dazzle Ships in 1983.

The Romance Of The Telescope - OMD

See these arms that were broken
How they held you so
Never once did they fail you
They wont let you go

Were just waiting, looking skyward
As the days come down
Someone promised thered be answers
If we stayed around

Over decades, now this romance
Has sustained us all
Never questioned, only giving
What it made us for


The Romance Of The Telescope (OMD Cover)

Inspired by the launch of "Still Testing" the rocket that launched New Zealand into space on  January the 21st, 2018.

As kiwis we were excited to hear another kiwi accent doing the legendary countdown, and listened with awe as the rocket moved faster and faster towards delivering it's final "payload".

The payload delivered into space was the "Humanity Star" a bright, blinking satellite now orbiting Earth, visible to the naked eye in the night sky. The Humanity Star is designed to encourage everyone to look up and consider our place in the universe. 

Welcome to space New Zealand (not just sheep and hobbits - though we love them).

Just Can't Get Enough (Depeche Mode Cover)by The Age Of Pop!

At a time when the world seems ever more uncertain it seems that we (really do) need more love! 

Love to help us cope, love to make a change, love to have the courage to do what's right, love to love and be loved.

I’ve had enough
Not going to take it no more 
It’s got to stop
This time I mean it for sure

The whole world would be laughing if we weren’t crying into our drinks 
When the cult of personality elects a man who doesn’t know who to think - yeah! 
It’s a bleeding shame 
National disgrace 
It feels like the beginning of the end of the world, we’re in the most dire straits.

We need more love!   
We need more love!
We need more!      

I simply can’t believe
That we’ve made it this far
We’ve got to change
It’s time to open our eyes

First thing we have to learn is the world doesn’t owe us  a thing
We all just swing from post to post like a punch drunk boxer in the ring
No, I’m not a preacher
No holy man
Just a simple man with a simple message and I’ll scream it as loud as I can 

We need more love!   
We need more love!
We need more 

Let’s stop these games that we play
Cause no-ones winning
We don’t need to have it all
It’s not the answer

You can’t believe what you read
Is it all fake news?
There’s only one thing that’s real
I tell you…

We need more love!   
We need more love!
We need more

I Ran (So Far Away) - The Age Of Pop! (Cover)

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey,stardust,swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment.”

― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Lower your walls because everything is connected, we're all Stardust, we're eternal, you and I we're indestructible.
