From Chris Trapper:
I decided to release this in the "pay what you can" model,as an offering for those fans of mine who may be under the economic tide, and for those of you who are swimming, all proceeds for this recording will pool into my next recording budget, tour support, and my ongoing struggle with doughnut addiction.
Many thanks for your continued support,
Chris Trapper

The conversation went something like this...
Jason (producer Jason Meeker) :So Chris, have you been writing new songs?
Chris: Yeah, I have a handful
Jason: Why don't we record a few together?
Chris: Because Jason, you're an electronica producer.
Jason: So what!
And since "so what?" has been the goal post that I've been kicking my musical career through over the years, it had a ring to me to try something different, so producer Jason Meeker and I embarked on this, the "Into the bright lights" EP; 7 songs that in which an acoustic singer-songwriter meets electronica / cinematic / '80's inspired production.
Now before anyone thinks I'm going the direction of Wham!, this particular producer has known my music for many years, so we worked within certain parameters, but I think the recording is it's most interesting when it peaks outside the usual singer / songwriter framework.

lyrics
7. Black Sky Blue
------------------------
If I was a king would you wait for me
To step off my arrogant chair
'cause what I have learned is everything burns
And suddenly nobody's there
It's a case that leaves no clues
It's dangerous how I dream of you
Since you turned my black sky blue
Black sky blue
If I wore the hat of a hard working man
With old worn out leather for skin
Oh, could you trace the lines on my face
And still find some beauty within
It don't matter where you go
It just matters where you stay
I would never claim to know
All the secret cards you hold
If I washed up on your private beach
Would you bring me blankets for clothes
Or would you be embarrassed to see
The somebody nobody knows?
------------------------
If I was a king would you wait for me
To step off my arrogant chair
'cause what I have learned is everything burns
And suddenly nobody's there
It's a case that leaves no clues
It's dangerous how I dream of you
Since you turned my black sky blue
Black sky blue
If I wore the hat of a hard working man
With old worn out leather for skin
Oh, could you trace the lines on my face
And still find some beauty within
It don't matter where you go
It just matters where you stay
I would never claim to know
All the secret cards you hold
If I washed up on your private beach
Would you bring me blankets for clothes
Or would you be embarrassed to see
The somebody nobody knows?
