You can’t say a thing, they won’t let you speak
Only offer a smile or the curtain gets weak
And you can’t say a word to the family back home
Better pull back that stick because you’re coming in low
And oh, you’ll fly
Through a clear and endless sky
But all you’ll find is a cold and lonely life
The cold and lonely lives of blackbird spies
You can’t see a thing in the valley below
Not a soul on the ground, not a footprint in snow
There’s a radio call bring your baby back home
Give a wave with the wings as you’re coming in low
You’re so high there’s just sky to see
A thin blue line of fantasy
Down below we hold you in our dreams
You’re so high there’s no time to fear
In a thin blue line of atmosphere
Down below we hold you in our dreams
Though a vapor trail is all we’ll ever see
And oh, you’ll fly
Through a clear and endless sky
But all you’ll find is a cold and lonely life
The cold and lonely lives of blackbird spies

Post-Cause & Effect, Rob Rowe showcases his brilliance as a singer/songwriter/programmer with producer/programmer Von Hertzog. The Persistence of Memory strikes a perfect balance between synthpop, futurepop, darkwave, and contemporary electronic music. DAS VILLAIN

My younger sister recently passed away and A Sky Full of Ghosts really hit home. Made me sad but also gave me a sense of peace. Been a fan of Rob Rowe since his days with Keith Milo when they were Cause & Effect. I look forward to an LP release one day. Superb songwriting and sound; keep them coming. I’ll be in line to purchase and support you!
