The comfort and ease The Uglysuit shares in performing together is evident in the direction each song takes. Some start as one thing and end as something completely different, but in a way that fits together perfectly. Nothing is sacrificed and everything makes sense. “Brownblue’s Passing” begins delicately before orchestral elements take a march-like turn, leading to a finale that becomes increasingly hypnotic and epic. “…And We Became Sunshine” opens with a bouncy intro that eventually transforms into a soaring chorus of guitar washes, keyboard flourishes, and lush, layered vocals. “Chicago” brings together a more traditional song structure, a melody painted with piano and delicate guitar lines, and a refrain that can stay embedded in your brain for days.
The Uglysuit’s music is an extended love song to the notion that everything is possible, yet nothing is guaranteed. It’s born of excitement and energy and built on potential and promise. It’s based on the premise that change exists in everything, and where a wide-eyed view of the world doesn’t equal naiveté. It reminds us that we are alive, and that maybe it’s not too late.

...And We Became Sunshine
The Uglysuit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we'll lay above the trees
And we'll all find there's better times times ahead
Rising high in this blue sky
At night when the thoughts up in space explode in our face
All it was was all too us
Now it sings, how it sings, such a beautiful thing in the sky
We on our own
The sunrise
We on our own
The sunrise
We on our own
The sunrise
We on our own
The sunrise
We're up so high up in the sky let's just relax and rewind
We're up so high up in the sky let's just relax and rewind
We've never seen a finer side in our lives
The Uglysuit's "And We Became Sunshine" is a song that speaks to the beauty of coming together to witness and celebrate the wonders of creation. The opening lines create an imagery of a serene evening walk, where the group will eventually come upon a clearing to lay down among the trees to take in the boundless immensity of the skies above. The song's upbeat tempo and harmonious melodies capture the exuberance and innocence of youth, and the desire to overcome hardships to discover and appreciate the beauty of life.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of hope, as the group anticipates better times ahead, symbolized in the rising blue sky within which the group basks. Further on, the lyrics shift to a more introspective and contemplative tone, as the night fades away and the sun rises, bringing with it the promise and potential of a new day. These moments of wonder and awe, where the group is awash in the beauty of nature, ignite a sense of belonging and connection, to the world and to each other.
Finally, the lyrics convey a sense of freedom, an escape from the drudgery of daily routines and the restraints of society, where the group can soar the heights, unencumbered by any restraints or shackles. This song celebrates the human spirit's ability to endure and persevere through life's adversities and appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature that surrounds us all.

We'll stroll along in this magnificent evening
We will take a leisurely walk during this splendid evening
And we'll lay above the trees
We will rest on a higher ground amidst the trees
And we'll all find there's better times times ahead
We will discover that better days lie in the future
Rising high in this blue sky
Elevated in the sky, in the midst of blue hues
At night when the thoughts up in space explode in our face
During nighttime, when ideas in the universe overwhelm us
All it was was all too us
We perceived everything as it truly was
Now it sings, how it sings, such a beautiful thing in the sky
Currently, it radiates beautifully in the sky
Just you wait for the best part
Anticipate the climax that is to come
We on our own The sunrise
We are alone, but will watch the sunrise
We're up so high up in the sky let's just relax and rewind
We are very high up in the sky, let us just sit back and take a break
We've never seen a finer side in our lives
We have not previously witnessed anything this beautiful in our lives

@Mgezy45 I don't know that there are any tabs. I play guitar and I figured it out just by ear, it's not too terribly difficult.
