about
"Blue" is probably closest to my roots of all the Raindrops songs with its old folk/ old country style. I spent the first 24 years of my life in West Virginia, and I still remember listening to the old songs, complete with their window of transparancy as the narrators experienced and expressed living complete with love, break ups, drinks, and depression. I, too, feel as I live, even in the simple things. There is a sweet familiarity to the melancholy.
Also know if you feel too blue, there are people around you for you. You aren't alone. Sending love, --Jenn
lyrics
BLUE
Sometimes the sun doesn't rise far enough
Sometimes the winter haze is just a bit rough
Sometimes the mood is low even when things are going right
Cause everything looks blue in this light
The clothes we're wearing, well they look blue
Everything seems just a little shaded too
Nothing's really wrong but it's a color off of bright
Cause everything looks blue in this light
You wanna tell me it's all in my head?
Sun's not as high in the sky
Winter days fill the world with a haze
Touch either the heart or the eye
My tears look blue but it could just be
My mascara runnin' down my cheek
You wanna tell me tell me everything's gonna be alright
Cause everything looks blue in this light
You wanna tell me it's all in my head?
Sun's not as high in the sky
Winter days fill the world with a haze
Touch either the heart or the eye
You wanna tell me it's all in my head?
Sun's not as high in the sky
Winter days fill the world with a haze
Cause everything looks blue in this light
