They were so heavy and such an eyesore, and not what I identified with peace and refuge. I remember looking up and seeing all of these cranes in the sky.

I started mumbling some words to it and then decided I want to write a verse. Every time I listened to it, I keep wanting to hear it again and again. вЂњвЂCranes in the SkyвЂ™ is that song for me. вЂњEvery once and a few years, there are certain songs that come out and have the sound of forever,вЂќ Common said of the song co-written and co-produced by Solange, Raphael Saadiq, and Dylan Wiggins (DвЂ™wayneвЂ™s son).
