Revision as of 15:42, 11 July 2018
Template:Infobox song "Morei Sky" is the third track on the album Wake Me.
Background
The first known studio version of "Morei Sky" was recorded with guitarist Jason Barnes sometime in June 1994 as part of a 6-track demo done at Teething Studios, Scott Crowley’s apartment studio. He was from a band called “Nihil”. Jonathan Krause said, "He had a digital recording studio. I thought the drums sounded cheesy they were way to electronic. But it was free so who's complaining?" Sean Dowdell adds, "It wasn't a studio. It was his apartment and he and I recorded it on a very small recording program on a computer. Home recording though, not studio."[1]
On October 6, 1994, the very first day of working on Wake Me, the album's producer David Knauer recorded Grey Daze playing live in his studio to see what they had in store for their debut album. He recorded their performance straight to DAT tape and had Chester say the name of every song so it was documented on tape as well.[2] "Morei Sky" was among the songs that made the album.
Under a new lineup consisting of Chester Bennington, Bobby Benish, Mace Beyers and Sean Dowdell, the band had their first pre-production sessions for their second studio album in February 1996 with David Knauer. There, they recorded a new version of "Morei Sky". The album, however, was shelved due to lack of funds to finish the studio time.[3]
Another version of the song was recorded by Michael Jones during their pre-production session for ...No Sun Today in December,[3] but it didn't make the album.

Live
A version of "Morei Sky" with an early guitar solo was debuted live in 1994. The album version was performed around the recording of Wake Me until at least 1995. After that, Jason Barnes and Jonathan Krause were replaced respectively by Bobby Benish and Mace Beyers with whom the band created yet another version of the song that would be performed live throughout 1996 and dropped from the setlist once ...No Sun Today was recorded.

Lyrics
I've lived through things I cannot say
Back then we dreamt of yesterday
It seemed as if the only way
And now we look for hope and pray
If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing in the end
If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing, losing...
It came up from the deepest sea
God gave it life and reason to be
His shadow rose above the highest tree
And still his face we could not see
If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing in the end
If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing, losing...
I've lived through things I cannot say
Back then we dreamt of yesterday
It seemed as if the only way
And now we look for hope and pray
Yeah...
