about

Blue Sky is the second single from Zuli Jr.'s forthcoming sophomore album Stop it God. out May 14th.

The song blends futuristic indie-pop with soulful vocals and chronicles a breaking point for Zuli, who "[I] realized I can’t be anything other than myself—and that’s not always going to sound the same”.

lyrics

Stop selling me blue sky
In a grey light
Like the clouds won’t fill with rain
Believing a white lie
Like it’s divine
And it holds up

I should’ve never had to choose
I shouldn’t have to count the hours
I’ve heard the rain comes with the blues
But I’m still waiting on the flowers
I came up empty and confused
Like all i’ve got is really ours
Show me there’s more to the truth
Like honesty’s yours to construe

I’ve been trying to be silent but i can’t hold out forever
I'm working through the pain but I don't know if I'll deliver
I tried to be more than you wanted
I keep coming back to the place where we started, all alone
I’m falling on my knees hold up my hands and i surrender
I’m crying at the sky like all i have is now or never
I tried, love
Oh I tried

Stop selling me blue sky
In a grey light
Like the clouds won’t fill with rain
Believing a white lie
Like it’s divine
And it holds my fall from grace
I’ve been tryna live three lives
At the same time
Now i don’t know who’s to blame
No telling me no
I know, I know the feeling takes me whole

Til it all goes black
And I try not to erase my flaws
I don’t know
I don’t mind
Keep me up
Leave me blind
Call it tongue tied
At a brake light
Or my demise
Closed eyes
Won’t lie
Know why
You throw it all away

I’ve been trying to be silent but i can’t hold out forever
I'm working through the pain but I don't know if I'll deliver
I tried to be more than you wanted
I keep going back to the place where we started, all alone
I’m falling on my knees hold up my hands and i surrender
I’m crying at the sky like all i have is now or never
I tried, love
Oh I tried

Stop selling me blue sky
In a grey light
Like the clouds won’t fill with rain
Believing a white lie
Like it’s divine
And it holds my fall from grace
I’ve been tryna live three lives
At the same time
Now i don’t know who’s to blame
No telling me no
I know, I know the feeling takes me whole
