Background “Beautiful Blue Sky” is its first single of Ought’s second album titled “Sun Coming Down,” which will be released Sept. 18. Lyrically, it’s a song centered around a series of observations — light clinging to someone’s shoulders, a high-rise condo, a big, beautiful, blue sky — but it’s also a multi-layered critique of development and unending consumerism. |
