about

Fynn’s strong melodies and dark lyrical content splatters the canvas of the second song, Bright Lights. Particularly emotive is his raspy delivery on the haunting chorus, which is an elegy to the passing between worlds. “This song really is about having a conversation with death,” Fynn opines. McMurtry layers multiple acoustic and electric guitars on this cut, demonstrating a strong capacity to weave countermelodies and capture what Johnny Marr calls the “guitar-chestra.”

lyrics

Bright lights always keeping me awake
Closed eyes always leads to big mistakes
Till night when you come into my room
And bright lights come to carry me away

No one needs to hurt now
You got what you came for
Just leave them alone now
I’ll come with you quietly tonight

Sunshine or sunny so it seems
I’m wide awake and lucid in my dreams
I’m upright but you’re towering over me
You’re eye height but taller than you seem
