Candy Apple Blue - Whispers in the Wind ft. Espen Kraft (Lyric Video)
Whispers in the Wind is the new single taken from the forthcoming Candy Apple Blue album, Second Sight. The composition addresses drug addiction, regret, rumors, and self-realization. The lyric video pays homage to famous celebrities who died from a drug overdose. These talented people had a very real problem with substance abuse which ultimately ended their lives too soon. Its melancholy message is a tragic cautionary tale delivered with a retro 1980s dance beat. Its musical roots are inspired by early 80s new wave synth-pop bands of the era. The song features a smooth, cool, and haunting vocal performance by Norway’s Espen Kraft.

Verse 1:
I saw you dancing on the edge
I tried to reach you as a friend
You didn’t want to hear it then
I was eager to help, but you pushed me away once again.
Lead In:
But where has your soul gone tonight?
They want to know why you took your own life
Chorus:
I hear whispers in the wind
Your love has made a fool of me
I gave in so easily
Whispers in the wind
Please tell me they’re wrong
the whispers in the wind
Verse 2:
People are saying nasty things
Pointing their fingers, casting blame
I tried to wake up from this dream
but the heartache is real and I’m coming apart at the seams
Lead In 2:
And I’m waiting for an epiphany tonight
You were a dying flower in need of sunlight
Chorus:
I hear whispers in the wind (people are talking)
Your love has made a fool of me
Took all I had so selfishly
Whispers in the wind
Please tell me they’re wrong
the whispers in the wind
Lead In 3:
I’m waiting for an epiphany tonight
You were a dying flower
Chorus:
I hear whispers in the wind (people are talking)
Your love has made a fool of me
You lived your life so recklessly
Whispers in the wind
Please tell they’re wrong (wrong)
the whispers in the wind
Whispers in the wind (whispers in the wind)
Your love has made a fool of me
I gave in so easily
Whispers in the wind
Please tell me they’re wrong
the whispers in the wind
Ad-lib:
Whispers in the wind I hear whispers in the wind
I hear whispers in the wind, in the wind
