Cover art for Shades of Blue lyrics by Ashley Parker Angel

Very deep and dark song. Inspirational too, as crazy as that sounds. It took me a few listens to realize this song was about teenage suicide. Ashley said that this song was written as a memory that stuck with him; a friend in high school who committed suicide, and shocked everyone.

But it's hopeless no one noticed We're all just shades of you

Very sad, but true.
