about

The new single is a song about escape and reaching for a blue sky and some clear, fresh air. New starts, new perspectives - there’s always a blue sky waiting for you …if you can only reach it. mUmbo explore the permutations, atmosphere and textures of vocals, guitars and drums/percussion with a sonic pallette ranging from ethereal, chilled soundscapes to guitar-driven modern blues/rock and psychedelic progressive rock. One of the main aims of the song is to create a very dense sensory, vibey quality to connect directly with the listener.

lyrics

Sky is blue, it’s all waiting for ya
Breathe the air and don’t even care
And everytime that I look down to the ground, in the dirt and the shadow
I listen to the familiar sound of a song sweet and low

Busy going nowhere too fast
Cars go on and on and on and pass on by
And everytime that I look down to the ground in the dirt and the shadow
I listen to the familiar sound of a song sweet and low

I sway in time to words like sugar as I climb
Cos every step that I try to take
I’m moving forward but, there’s an ache
Feels so confined, but it’s all in my mind

Sky is blue, it’s all waiting for ya
Breathe the air and don’t even care
