Cover art for For Blue Skies lyrics by Strays Don't Sleep

i saw strays in nottingham, england a few weeks ago. matthew ryan (singer) said the song was about his brother who was sentanced to life in prison, didn't say why.

i would've guessed it was about loss in some way, but not the above.

maybe he was sent to prison for doing drugs. "you alone with those pills"
