Originally composed as a demo for a piano library, "Out of the Blue" was also orchestrated for the BBC drama series "The Impressionists" years later..
Mike Brayn wrote the beautiful lyrics which accompany the music and we then went looking for a singer who could deliver a classical crossover performance for the song.
Mike contacted singing coach Glynn Jones to ask if he had any students suitable. He sent us Mika, then just 17 years old! As you will hear, he performed the song fantastically!! Mika liked the sound in my studio which led to me recording many of his demos for the first album, "Life in Cartoon Motion".
Oh, that's my eldest daughter Lisa in the photo with Mika. He asked her to be in the Grace Kelly video, but Lisa was too shy :)
Since we recorded the demo, Mike wrote more lyrics for the song which you can read below. We hope you enjoy "Out of the Blue"!

OUT OF THE BLUE - Lyrics
Sometimes it feels like it's over
When the darkness falls
I wake in the night
Lost and lonely
Dreaming you'd call
Who knows where you hide
Then with the morning
There you are
Out of the blue
I know it's true
I'm seeing with newborn eyes
Now we may share all emotion
Live our life again
Highs and lows
Til forever
Love without an end
Who knows where you cry
Then with the moonrise
There you are
Out of the blue
You know it's true
Everything's right this time
New verse/bridge:
Here in the dawn all is wonder
Will you come to me
Red & gold
Beams of colour
Make it all surreal
Who knows where you fly
Then with the sunrise
There you are
Out of the blue
Into the new
No clouds across our sky
