///// notes /////

this is my longest song under phixel so far, and im really proud of it. throughout the production of clearer skies, i used many pieces of artificial intelligence such as gansynth, vqgan+clip, gpt-3, and of course, maeexo, an artificial singer trained on recordings of my voice. im so excited that you guys finally get to hear this song, and i hope you enjoy it <3

[phixel]
(okay, 5 over 4, its gonna be fun its gonna be a lil experiment we're gonna try it out)
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , 10!)

i just wanna see the sky
to feel the wind in my hair
ill just wait and pass the time
until i see clearer skies
i just wanna see the sky
to feel the wind in my hair
i know there's something there
up in the sky

dont you just wanna go up there and see
what could be there?
it could be just like when we were teens
when we weren't scared

[phixel + jestrr - in unison]
i just wanna see the sky
to feel the wind in my hair
ill just wait and pass the time
until i see clearer skies
i just wanna see the sky
to feel the wind in my hair
i know there's something there
up in the sky

/ little piano solo over conversation between me and iris day /

[maeexo + phixel]
M: I always think about the times we had
those memories will never die
i cherish them as years have passed
i think about them all the time
P: and when the darkness sets in
and we're left with all this sin
and now it's time to tell them
we know they're listening
M: i don't know what you're thinking (yeah, yeah)
i might be a bit timid
P: (haaaah) but i don't know what you're looking for
for, for

[phixel]
i just want to see the sky
to feel the wind in my hair
(to feel the wind in my hair)
(to feeeeel)

/ saw lead + some more instrumental /

[phixel]
oh is it so hard to be decent
you let yourself get away
ooh, you went and seized your big day
was it worth it at all?
i wish i could see the sky
in a much different light
when i look around at night
i see no stars 

[maeexo + phixel - in unison]
i just wanna see the sky
to feel the wind in my hair
ill just wait and pass the time
until i see clearer skies
i just wanna see the sky
to feel the wind in my hair
ill just wait and pass the time
until i see clearer skies

clearer skies

if you overthink it then you’ll probably forget ^_^
