Sun Cries Red came to life while we were in pre-production for the album Horizons. After the initial writing session we stayed up all night recording the demo, Dan finished his bass part and went to bed and the rest of us continued on in an alcohol fueled recording session. After going over and over the song adding different layers in our Air-BnB in Nashville, Dan burst out of his room absolutely pissed off that we had been going so long and so loud which was kind of hilarious. We needed to finish the demo so we of course just continued on. A couple days later when I was recording the guitar solo in the studio he said "Where did that solo come from!?" which was possibly one of the funniest moments from recording the album. After explaining it was written when he was all pissed off that he couldn't sleep he said "well I didn't realize you were writing epic stuff like that", it was good fun.
The song lyrically is about looking back at something that is important but neglected, seeing something in a shadow of its former glory.
Continuing the recording process, producer Nick Raskulinecz suggested we experiment by adding a string section to the song, Josh ended up writing all those parts and it really took the song to another level.
LYRICS:
Looking down
At this mess we’ve made
Will we ever be forgiven?
Cause we’ll never be the same
Looking back
Don’t know how we got here
From all that we were given
Now it’s ashes in the rain
Just ashes in the rain
Sun cries red
Oceans start to dry
Angels start to die
Beginning of the end
Sun cries red
Tear drops turn to blood
Fires start to flood
And all is done and said
Sun cries red
Looking up
Are we too gone to save?
When did our horizon
Have nothing left to say?
Losing hope
In these blackened eyes
Try to see the silver lining
But our hearts are going blind
Our hearts are going blind
Sun cries red
Oceans start to dry
Angels start to die
Beginning of the end
Sun cries red
Tear drops turn to blood
Fires start to flood
And all is done and said
Sun cries red
Sun cries red
Sun cries red
Sun cries red
Buried under clouds
In the shadows of the end
How long can this go on?
How long can we pretend?
Sun cries red
Oceans start to dry
Angels fall and die
Beginning of the end
Sun cries red
Tear drops turn to blood
Fires start to flood
And all is done and said
Sun cries red
Sun cries red
Sun cries red
Sun cries red
