Solange released her third studio album A Seat At The Table last week, as well as an expansive reading supplement to go along with it. Now, Solo has taken to Instagram to talk a little bit about album standout “Cranes In The Sky” (which also just got a gorgeous visual treatment), which the singer revealed she wrote eight years ago.
Lyrics Solange - Cranes in the sky
I tried to drink it away
I tried to put one in the air
I tried to dance it away
I tried to change it with my hair
I ran my credit card bill up
Thought a new dress would make it better
I tried to work it away
But that just made me even sadder
I tried to keep myself busy
I ran around in circles
Think I made myself dizzy
I slept it away, I sexed it away
I read it away.. away
Away, away, away, away, away..
Well it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Yeah, it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
I tried to run it away
Thought then my head be feeling clearer
I traveled 70 states
Thought moving round make me feel better
I tried to let go my lover
Thought if I was alone then maybe I could recover
To write it away or cry it away
Don't you cry baby, away..
Away, away, away, away, away..
But it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Yeah, it's like cranes in the sky
Sometἰmes I don't wanna feel those metal...
Away, away, away, away, away..
Away, away, away, away, away..
Away, away, away, away, away…
“It was 8 years ago Raphael Saadiq handed me a cd with a few instrumentals. One was just drums, strings, and bass,” she says in the photo’s caption. “I went home and wrote ‘Cranes’ that night in my hotel room.”
