Skyline from Skyline by The Starlight Darlins
On our second tour as the Darlins, we flew to Oregon to play a set of shows for Sage’s community. I’d heard about the rain up there, but wasn’t quite prepared for the near constant-ness of the gloom.
Looking out the window of Sage’s car on the way from Portland to Mt. Hood, I was thinking about the crummy weather, and our crummy world, and friends who were struggling with their mental health, and noticed one little patch of blue sky following us from a distance, just near the horizon.
This is our song for hope in hard times.

Lyrics
There are bright days ahead my love
Keep your eyes on the skyline
There are bright days ahead my love
For the weather’s bound to turn in time
For the weather’s bound to turn
There are clear skies ahead my love
Keep your eyes on the skyline
There are clear skies ahead my love
For the weather’s bound to turn in time
For the weather’s bound to turn
There are still nights ahead my love
Keep your eyes on the skyline
There are still nights ahead my love
For the weather’s bound to turn in time
For the weather’s bound to turn
There are bright days ahead my love
Keep your eyes on the skyline
There are bright days ahead my love
For the weather’s bound to turn in time
For the weather’s bound to turn
