After a five-year break, “Magic 8-Ball” marks Gazpacho’s return with eight new tracks built around the idea of fate. How it moves without warning, and how the choices we make can slowly strip away who we thought we were. Today, the band have shared the second single “Sky King” alongside a new official video created by Biedjee Productionsis availabla on the band’s youTube Channel.
Watch the official lyric video for “Sky King” via the YouTube player below:
“The song was inspired by Richard Russell, a ground service agent with no formal flight training who stole an aircraft and flew alone for over an hour. His conversations with air traffic control were broadcast live, and revealed a man speaking with unusual calm, humor, and clarity as the situation unfolded.
This song is a tribute to human dignity and the refusal to conform to anyone or anything. It is dedicated to the ‘Sky King’ Richard Russell who performed the ultimate rejection of that mindset and reminds us that we still have wings. Fly high!“
