“The song is about conspiracy theories – and how a conspiracy theory can
sometimes be more comforting than the truth or the reality of your situation.
It’s the song the mainstream media doesn’t want you to hear.”
TUTV: This Irish, Graceland-based, dream pop team reveal that among all Elvis imposters the real King is still hanging around, somewhere in a ghetto. The revelation comes with a glossy pop tune that progresses in slow-motion, gentle and gracious. Its whispering vocals create a kind of mysterious feel. Mellow strings and soft guitar glimmer accentuate that feel. Let’s make this a hit so the mainstream can’t but play this bittersweet symphony. One more thing: trust me, The Crayon Set are for real (I think).
The stars are not light
The sky is really blue
The Earth is not round
There’s a man on the moon
The ozone is fine
The sea won’t ever rise
Elvis is alive
And you are still mine
I don’t believe what you tell me
I don’t believe that it’s true
I’ve no time for your nonsense
You’ll be back home soon
