Baynes&#8217; vocals are\u00a0rich and heartfelt, as he sings of a love that seemed to been everything &#8211; but clearly it wasn&#8217;t&#8230;quite. But it&#8217;s not the fault of either party, but rather, it&#8217;s the sky&#8217;s fault &#8211; it&#8217;s changed and grown, forcing them apart.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s The Sky&#8217; is out now through Subluna Records.
