On October 25th, 1999 Sun went to Virgin Records in Time’s Square to shop for DVD’s for Mrs. Wilk’s birthday present. On his way out of the store he heard the word ‘listen’ and immediately got out his small note pad and wrote the beginning of the first verse. He had to go pick up cat food so he walked down to 43rd Street. He noticed the extremely vibrant blue of the sky and came to a dead halt in front of one of the New York Times’ closed truck bays and channeled pretty much the rest of the song. Even snippets of melody started coming.

            The song was done by the time he got home except the bridge which he wrote the next day when he also finished the melody. This is an almost pure example of what Sun calls a channeled song. In this case, the verse lyrics seemed to come out of nowhere, they just flowed and pretty much didn’t need any work once they came out of the pen. The melody seemed to have been partly channeled but it involved some crafting so it wasn’t completely channeled. This happens often with lyrics but unfortunately it’s not so easy with melodies! Sometimes the verses and choruses of songs will be channeled but the Spirits leave the bridge building up to Sun!
