Blue Skies (Noah and the Whale song)
"Blue Skies" is the only official single for English folk band Noah and the Whale's album The First Days of Spring. It was released on 24 August 2009.[1] The song was not only (by default) the album's lead single, but also served as a 'theme' for the album, with excerpts appearing throughout the other tracks, most notably on Our Window.[2]
Music video
The video for the song features parts of the movie that goes with the homonymous album. It is introduced by the conversation between two friends, when one of them suggests that they should "go on" and live, which they had only done "a long time ago".[3] It also serves as the film's trailer.
