Discover the story of the song > The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In) – Melba Moore

This song describes a group of people who are feeling desperate and worn down. They are wearing clothes that smell like chemicals and are surrounded by a world that is full of lies. But amidst all this darkness, they believe there is something great waiting for them. One person in the group, Sheila, sings about how they are starving and looking at each other with a sense of urgency. They are wearing winter coats and smell like labs. The nation they are in is dying and full of fake stories. But they believe that there is something great inside of them. Sheila and Dionne sing about how they are listening for the truth, but also have visions of being alone. The rest of the song is a call to let the sunshine in and embrace the positive energy around them.
