Symphony in Blue Lyrics

Cover art for Symphony in Blue lyrics by Kate Bush

"Life is a lot of grey and a little bit of blue..."

A song about 'Love, Sex, Death, and the Meaning of Life' ... Introspection and wonder ... Virginal teenage blues, the Juliet crush, the determined optimism... The intense, vibrant excitement of the Life Force! ... Love is red, passionate, too hot, too emotional... It has the danger to kill the heart and warp the intellect! ... Eros Vs Thanatos! ... There's a lot of playful humour in this song... How intellectual pursuit can lead to sex in the city (or library!) and excessive pot-smoking! ... The chorus finds an expanded sense to it all... Reason conquers fears, belonging defeats nightmares... the Great tapestry of the universe...

"...I spent a lot of my time looking at blue No wonder that I blew it!"
