Head Is No Sky - Sky is Free was one of the songs played every Wednesday Night at the Brunswick Hotel in London Ontario for three years in a row.  Perfomed by Lucid World Shawn Bentley on drums and vocals, Pete Battersby Guitar and Vocals, Trevor Wilkins Lead Guitar, and David Jury Bass.  

Lucid World rented two rooms on the second floor of the famous Brunswick Hotel, one room for a studio, and other as an office/meeting room.  Hundreds of songs were written on the second floor of this historic Hotel for the three years the band was together from 1996 until it's mutual breakup in 1999.  Head Is No Sky - Sky is Free is just one of these many songs.  Enjoy! 

Head is No Sky - Sky is Free

Lucid World 1997-1999  Peter Battersby on guitar and vocals, Shawn Bentley on drums, Trevor Wilkins on lead guitar, David Jury on Bass, and Jennifer Howie on Keyboards and background vocals.
In 1998 the band added a fifth member Jennifer Howie on keyboards and vocals.  Unfortunately soon after, a love triangle broke out between the Lead Guitar Player and the Drummer.  One night while playing this song live at the Brunswick Hotel, the Lead Guitar Player punched the drummer in the side of the head and walked out.  The band finished playing the song “Feel the Wind” while the drummer lay semi conscious on the floor.  Now when I hear this song, it brings me back to that night.

The next day Jennifer switched from keyboards to lead guitar and the band contined to play shows for another 8 months before calling it quits with a final Saturday night show at the Brunswick Hotel.

The band lived together in a house on southdale road in London called "the ranch".  The house had no furniture but every wall was covered with paintings from London artist Tom Hilborn.  These paintings had a huge impact on the song writing and shaping of the music.

These two songs "she knows about it" and "liar" were written by Peter Battersby.
