Bastille - Blue Sky & The Painter

To Rate
Verse 1
Left a trace, of my ?
Do you always run away when it gets wild?
Bitter sweet, fleeting bliss
Guess I haven't felt electric for some time

Pre-Chorus 1
Feels like a new rush, new rush flowering
Oh like a break in the ice
Felt like the clouds got tired of opening
Oh I ain't seen light in a while

Chorus
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time

Verse 2
Wide awake, from the breeze
How the hell did I gеt so numb to desire?
Mix the paint, on thе page
Because I ain't nothing without joy and sorrow's fire

Pre-Chorus 2
Feels like a new dawn, new song, ringing out
Oh this bitter peace in my mind
Felt like the stars got bored of coming out
But oh, I caught them up there last night
Chorus
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time

Bridge
Woah oh
Would I be who I am without the sadness in me?
Would I be who I am without the sadness in me?

Chorus
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time

Outro
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, yeah, it's about damn time
Woah oh

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the mixtapes:

Someone recently said to us: ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label said: ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.

Bad Blood was released in March 2013 and reissued as All This Bad Blood in November that year to include bonus tracks and the Other People’s Heartache mixtapes.

In 2014, the band released VS. (Other People’s Heartache Pt. III).

In September 2016, the band released their hotly anticipated sophomore album, Wild World.

In June 2019 the band has released their 3rd studio album Doom Days, which was described by Dan as an “apocalyptic party album.” An extended version of the album was then released in December of 2019.

The band consists of lead singer Dan Smith, keyboardist Kyle Simmons, bassist and guitarist Will Farquarson, and drummer Chris “Woody” Wood.
