Violet to Blue

Nik Kershaw

Shades of all shades
Every shape and size
Promised parties in the air
Danced before her eyes
But where did love go
And where were you
On the day they turned violet to blue
Friends of all friends
Friends that came and went
Some did care
Some did not
Subway residents
But what did you feel
What did you do
On the day they turned violet to blue
On the day they turned violet to blue
Can't stop, don't start
Warm hand, cool heart
Please hear my call
Out cold, in deep
No sense, no sleep
At all
So before you go
Kinds of all kinds
Glittering like gold
Selling for the highest bid
Keeping out the cold
And did the angels
Call by for you
On the day they turned violet to blue
On the day they turned violet to blue
On the day they turned violet to blue
Can't stop, don't start
Warm hand, cool heart
Please hear my call
Out cold, in deep
No sense, no sleep
At all

    It sounds to me like Marcella Detroit on Backing Vocals at the end of the song? Can anyone confirm or deny?

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
