Life On The Bridge
While recording “Life under the Bridge”, Bright Young Future moved together in the studio. In the time they lived together – playing, rehearsing, recording – they developed a common language to shape and share their ideas and music.
Jacob and Rune both experienced loss of loved ones while recording the album, which significantly shaped the work. The album works as an analogy of life from birth to death. The songs are thought of as “scenes” playing out while passing a bridge: Different challenges, experiences and perspectives – presenting themselves as “images” open for interpretative freedom and imagination – relating to universal themes such as life, death, love, endings and beginnings.
More about the album
Mastered by ambient/drone legend Taylor Deupree, and containing executive producer features from electronic artist Tettix Hexer, “Life under the Bridge” is proudly released by Pink Cotton Candy Records.
LYRICS
It Went Away
Without a whisper
It went away, everything became mad
We will never be so happy again
The love was gone
Oh so special
What went away
But it was far from gone
It went away
It went away
They thought they were happy
End Summer In The Sun
Stuck
No motion
Endless emotions
Lost that feeling
It’s hopeless
you’re falling
Call your friends up
Low pulse
Get out now
Still living the nightmare
Still living the nightmare
Still living the nightmare
Stop living in the past
You’re not supposed to
If you don’t try
You will never know
Set in motion
Pointless devotion
All that stalling
All the countless callings
All the voices
Endless choices
It’s endless
It’s endless
Still living the nightmare
Still living the nightmare
Still living the nightmare
You’re not supposed to
If you don’t try
You will never know
You feel all alone
You can’t find home
Nobody can touch you, afraid it’s gonna hurt you
But you wanna find someone
To end summer in the sun
End summer in the sun
Still living the nightmare
Still living the nightmare
Still living the nightmare
Stop living in the past
You’re not supposed to
And If you don’t try
You will never know
Stop living in the past
Emotions
Stop living in the past
Emotions
I Saw You Flying
There is no light no love
There is no sign
I recall the night
I saw you flying
I wandered through the city
In pouring rain
No one else in sight
No one to talk to
Your pale face
Shows a cross
My eyes are smiling
Your cancer makes me cry
Inside I’m dying
There is no light no love
There is no sign
I recall the night
I saw you flying
I recall the night
I saw you flying
I saw you in the sky
You were on fire
