about
The pure vocal of Tyscha's performance of The Light Of Other Days
Just one note autotuned subsequently on the word "redeemed" in the first verse - Only because the higher pitch suited the lyric more than the original lower one.
lyrics
You can kill the day and when its dead
Dream of tomorrow instead
On the horizon the place
Where all of life’s promise is redeemed
In your head such life to be led
But for now you'll stay here instead
With your brilliance as its own guarantee
Lie dissolving into your bed
All of life drawn for you by cathode ray
Watch the sun fading down on another day
Awake, alone,
Lying here with you
I have to escape this small brown world for the blue
All the times I said I wished I was dead
I meant to live for real instead
See the mountains, a place
The air so pure, meadows so green
Things that I only see on the television
Know this safety is killing me
You and me playing out the roles that we learned
Should have lived our lives and been free
All of life drawn for you by cathode ray
Watch the sun fading down on another day
Awake, alone, lying here with you
I have to escape this small brown world for the blue
I woke this morning and I found myself dead
In place of me I stand instead
That bright town was the place
Could be who you want, that’s how it seemed
You were gone in a year
Everyday I have run since
New lives, new memories
Climbed that mountain with someone that I loved
Better than it was on TV
Back In this room I watch the same cathode ray
- Trace the light of your face and forgotten days
Awake alone, I know that I am through
I have to escape this small brown world for the blue
But I have lived at least I know I can say
Did some things that I wanted to anyway
But was alone
My new lives I threw
Because the only one who really loved me was you
