lyrics

The Fainting of the nearby supergiant Betelgeuse
With squinting eyes we search the night skies For its light to diffuse

Refrain: And as light grows dim
We will sing this hymn to the stars

Verse 2:
A bright light cannot burn forever No it fades to blue
You cannot trust a supernova to be there for you

Refrain: And as light grows dim
We will sing this hymn to the stars

Bridge:
High on Orion’s shoulder
Watch as we float on this boulder
Darling don’t fear getting older
Don’t fear

Verse 3:
Cast your eyes heavenward and observe the celestial blast
It’s hard to just be, let alone to see, when it’s overcast

Refrain:
And as light grows dim
We will sing this hymn
And as light grows dim
We will sing

Bicycle Face Winnipeg, Manitoba

Bicycle Face is melodic pop with elated electric guitar, scintillating synth and intricate harmonies. Idiosyncratic lyrics tell stories of ambivalent fairy tale heroines, lost love in outer space, and computer viruses intent on world domination.

Bicycle Face was formed in Winnipeg in 2013 by second-cousins- once-removed Ava Glendinning and Theresa Thordarson.
