Description
Admiral Bob's guitar, bass, drums, organ and rhodes were just too damn good not to sing along. Inspired by a poem by our very own mwic (Talking Texas Turning Blues) I wrote this song on a long car ride streaming Admiral Bob's track over and over. I hope you feel the energy!!!
Pell is uploaded here. I'd would love to hear your version :)
Turning Blue
Red is the anger
Red the divider
Red is the fire that burns
Blue like the water
Lakes, oceans, rivers
Pale Blue Dot Mother that turns
Turning blue
We’re turning blue
From sea to sea
We are turning blue
Voices for freedom
Equality and truth
From sea to sea
We are turning blue
Red are the arteries
Red, like the heart of me
But war wounds are bloody, and we are scarred
Blue, flowing veins
Sorrow and the sound of rain
We are one and the same that red has torn apart
Turning blue
We’re turning blue
From sea to sea
We are turning blue
Voices for freedom
Equality and truth
From sea to sea
We are turning blue
Red is discriminative
Violent, competitive
Neoconservative, so right it's wrong
Blue is transparent
Embraces what’s different
Equiponderant, yea, we all belong
Turning blue
We’re turning blue
From sea to sea
We are turning blue
Voices for freedom
Equality and truth
From sea to sea
We are turning blue
Red, take the back seat
Time for the Matriarchy
Don’t take this personally
Yea, you will see
Fulfill the prophecies
Written in our history
One world harmony
Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ
Turning blue
We’re turning blue
From sea to sea
We are turning blue
Voices for freedom
Equality and truth
From sea to sea
We are turning blue
A blue ocean rising
Blue sky, sun is shining
Stars aligning, we are thriving
And turning blue
The big blue wave is energizing
Ride the tide, it’s divine timing
We are alchemizing
And turning blue
So of course I adore this. So optimistic and hopeful! There was a certain darkness in my backing that has been wonderfully counterbalanced with lightness and hope.
And I hope you do turn things blue. (Though not in Canada, where our party colours are basically the exact opposite of the US. :) )
