This single was released on a vinyl 7" format only and was limited to 500 copies. Death followed next (released Sept 22nd 2007).

2) White Lies was a one piece band consisting of Haydé Walraet from Belgium. Currently known as Haydé. She had her small claim to fame with her cover of the Kaiser Chiefs' song, "Heat Dies Down" which was accepted as a heart warming cover considering Haydé had minimal live footage to work with to re-interpret it her own way.
She also covered the Little Man Tate song "You And Me Might Be Alright, You Know" which used the same technique of acoustic guitar, layered, precious vocals and simple harmonies throughout.
But she is not just a cover artist, Haydé also writes her own songs and released a demo of seven of them in the latter half of 2006. Her style is often simple and laid back with songs to calm the mind and ease you into the day. Her demo was again confronted with good press who saw her demo as a humane approach to life from the eyes of a young girl.
3) White Lies was an Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom based alternative rock band. The first years of the bands career, they were going under the name Rota. In 2004 the band released their self-titled album White Lies, having received positive reviews. Although in 2005 the band went its seperate ways, with each member having his own new band.
Fifty on Our Foreheads
White Lies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A look of terror in our eyes
The moonlight licked the face of danger
Innocence made us like soldiers
Untouchable and golden
The quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops
I know you're sad I'm leaving
But girl look from your window late tonight
You think my heart is frozen
While yours is slowly grieving
You'll see the boy you loved start burning in the sky
We were a dozen to the project
With a galaxy of questions
And all we heard was lies about the truth
No choice but be obedient
Like prisoners of war
Caught on the wrong side of morality and youth
We thought about our loved ones
Tallied fifty on our foreheads
With the pen your mother gave me in the Spring
The sun beat at the windows
Within an hour James had cracked
Left the ship and died still clinging to the wings
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
In the first verse of White Lies's song Fifty on Our Foreheads, the scene opens up on "the cusp of Vessel 18", which suggests a ship or spacecraft. The singer hints that there was danger in the air, as the "look of terror" was evident in everyone's eyes. The moonlight adds a sense of ominousness to the scene by highlighting the lurking peril. Though the crew might have been innocent and golden as children, their immersion into the project and the realities of their youth means that they are no longer invincible. The darkness that envelops the crew is reminiscent of a quilt dotted with their teardrops, which represents both the comfort of familiarity and the despair that haunts it.
In the second verse, the singer speaks directly to someone they love. The person they address seems to be unable to believe that the singer's heart is not frozen, and that they're not affected by the tragedy that they're about to experience. The singer encourages them to look out their window that night and see their spirit burning in the sky, which expresses a sense of sacrifice and martyrdom. The singer's ultimate hope is that the one they leave behind will understand that their love didn't die with them.
Line by Line Meaning
On the cusp of Vessel 18
We were at the brink of undertaking an important task
A look of terror in our eyes
We were scared but tried to hide it
The moonlight licked the face of danger
The moonlight highlighted the risks we were taking
Innocence made us like soldiers
Our lack of experience made us feel like we were soldiers
Untouchable and golden
We felt invincible and precious
The quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops
We were crying, but the darkness helped to hide our tears
I know you're sad I'm leaving
I'm aware that you're upset that I'm departing
So this may hurt a little
Saying goodbye might be painful for both of us
But girl look from your window late tonight
Perhaps seeing a shooting star will give you some comfort
You think my heart is frozen
You believe that I don't have any feelings
While yours is slowly grieving
But you're the one that's really hurting
You'll see the boy you loved start burning in the sky
You'll see a glimmer of hope or a bright future without me
We were a dozen to the project
There were twelve of us involved in the mission
With a galaxy of questions
We had many questions and concerns
And all we heard was lies about the truth
We only received falsehoods regarding the facts
No choice but be obedient
We had no option but to follow orders
Like prisoners of war
We were trapped and unable to escape the situation
Caught on the wrong side of morality and youth
We realized we'd made poor choices due to our age and lack of wisdom
We thought about our loved ones
We reminisced about the people we cared about
Tallied fifty on our foreheads
We kept track of fifty significant individuals
With the pen your mother gave me in the Spring
We used a specific pen given to us by someone special
The sun beat at the windows
The sun's rays were harsh and unrelenting on the ship's windows
Within an hour James had cracked
One of our team members, James, lost his nerve quickly
Left the ship and died still clinging to the wings
James couldn't handle the mission and ultimately perished while attempting to flee
Start burning in the sky
We're reminding ourselves that we need to keep moving forward and keep hope alive
Start burning in the sky
We're reminding ourselves that we need to keep moving forward and keep hope alive
Start burning in the sky
We're reminding ourselves that we need to keep moving forward and keep hope alive
Start burning in the sky
We're reminding ourselves that we need to keep moving forward and keep hope alive
Start burning in the sky
We're reminding ourselves that we need to keep moving forward and keep hope alive
Start burning in the sky
We're reminding ourselves that we need to keep moving forward and keep hope alive

White Lies reminds me of the music I was listening to when I met her 30 years ago. Eco and the Bunnie Men, The Church. After 25 years of marriage, every morning I wake up and she inspires me to be a better man.
