Matt McManamon - Circles In The Sky (Official Visualiser)
See: https://linktr.ee/mattmcmanamon
‘Circles In The Sky’ is the new single from Liverpudlian-Irish singer-songwriter Matt McManamon. The track is the lead single from his upcoming ‘Seventy Two Hours’ EP via Fretsore Records. It follows 2021’s critically acclaimed debut solo album ‘Scally Folk’ which marked a change of direction for the Dead 60s’ hitmaker.
McManamon states, “I had seen one of these ‘Inspirational Quotes’ online that seem to be all the rage these days, which went something like this: “If You Have Tried And Failed, Well done. . Most People Don’t Even try!” This concept resonated with me, and influenced the lyrics and subject matter.
The line and title ‘Circles In The Sky’ however came from a memory I had of myself, wife & kids sunbathing in the garden one glorious summer (which doesn’t happen that often on the West Coast of Ireland) and we would play a game, where you had to draw an imaginary picture or shape into the sky with your finger, and we’d take turns in guessing what imaginary shape or image each had drawn.
Out on Fri 29th September 2023.
CIRCLES IN THE SKY
Get up with an empty head
Words flash by that I might of said
But you’re not really here now - now my love
Battle in an empty room
Step in line to the same old tune
But you’re not really here now - now my love
It’s easy… If you just know how to
It’s easy… If you wanna try and fly
We’ll make circles in the sky
And try to make circles in the sky
Focus on the inbetween
A side of you so seldom seen
But you’re not really here now - now my love
Vanishing without a trace
Take off those shoes stay out the race
But you’re not really here now - now my love
It’s easy…If you just know how to
It’s easy…If you wanna try and fly
We’ll make circles in the sky
And try to make circles in the sky
So try to make circles in the sky
Please try to make circles in the sky
Come on and try to make circles in the sky
