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

IDEA: How would a visitor from another planet feel if they came to earth and they saw everyone spent all day looking into their smartphones instead of actually talking.

Across the greatest distance
Through the narrowest divide
Found a modest space rock
Set my craft astride

Hid in the shadows
Watched the inhabitants passing by
Never once did they look up
Handheld screens captured their eyes

Stranger in a Strangeland
Your ways are not my own
So alone

What were they looking at
Had to find out you see
It's only natural curiosity

Got my hands on a small machine
Had the world in my hands
It's a miracle
Now I understand

Stranger in a Strangeland
Your ways are not my own
So alone

Got to get back home
Cant leave my phone

Stranger in a Strangeland
Your ways are not my own
So alone

Stranger In A Strangeland (collab. with raymond hayter)

Crystal Harbour is a different type of song for us - it’s a love song (to Jay's wife - Tanz) AND we’ve introduced some luscious fretless bass (our first live instrument).

Lyrics & Vocals: Jay (aka isunray)
Fretless Bass: Jay
Instrumentation, Programming and Production: Raymond & Jay
Mix and Master: Raymond

Crystal Harbour (lyrics j.hay, music j.hay/r hayter)

When I sail a stormy sea
You’re the calm at the the heart of me and I thank-you

When the waves wash over me
You’re the miracle that saves me, my angel 

When I’m with you
Breathtaking Blue
You’re a Crystal Harbour
That I dive into

Breathtaking Blue
Like a Crystal Harbour
That I dive in

When I wander the seven seas
You’re the flame here inside of me and it burns

When I’m lost no guarantees
You’re the North Star to guide me - I know, it’s time to come home

When I’m with you
Breathtaking Blue
You’re a Crystal Harbour
That I dive into

Breathtaking Blue
Like a Crystal Harbour
That I dive in

Wherever you are that’s my home
Wherever  you are that’s my home

When I’m with you
Breathtaking Blue
You’re a Crystal Harbour
That I dive into

Breathtaking Blue
Like a Crystal Harbour
That I dive in

Looking For Trouble (isunray & cosmic address)

This track is inspired by Kraftwerk, possibly the mostly influential band since the Beatles.

The same way that rock guys went to the source to learn from Muddy Waters & Robert Johnson, for me, I went to Kraftwerk.  They have left an indelible mark on not just myself but the world. 

Without Kraftwerk we wouldn't have Orchestral Manouevres In The Dark, Depeche Mode, Erasure, The Human League or any other synth based band not to mention the total realm of EDM that wouldn't exist without their trailblazing albums from the 70's and 80's.

Composed, performed, produced, mixed and mastered by isunray

Come to me sleep my friend 
This day has come to an end
My head is reeling, my thoughts they hang heavy
The walls they keep closing in 
Come to me soft as rain again

Let me drink from your cup
Tell me stories where we never gave up
Dreams filled with triumph, conquest no reprisals
A hero for this day and age
Let me win, just for a moment again

Stay with me, stay with me, stay (dream on dreamer)
Stay
Stay with me, stay with, stay (dream on dreamer) 
Stay

You don’t think of me in the day 
Empty hours wasting way
Ideals without action, without concept or vision
Wake up before it’s too late
Don’t be a star waiting for night to come

Stay with me, stay with me, stay (dream on dreamer)
Stay
Stay with me, stay with, stay (dream on dreamer) 
Stay

You need me more than you love me 
You need me more than you love me

Stay with me, stay with me, stay (dream on dreamer)
Stay
Stay with me, stay with, stay (dream on dreamer) 
Stay

Stay with me, stay with me, stay (dream on dreamer)
Stay
Stay with me, stay with, stay (dream on dreamer) 
Stay

A thing of beauty is a joy forever
A thing of beauty is a joy forever

Stay With Me (Dream On Dreamer) (feat. Sara Hopkins - Stereospread)

“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.
