Story Behind The Song

Russian Blue sort of spilled out of me as I was sitting with my cat one day and playing with an effects pedal...

Song Description

Shireen used soaring and crashing phaser effects on her guitar to mimick the emotional ups and downs she was feeling at the time of writing this song. Russian Blue describes her journey into altered states of mind and the resulting isolation and lows.

Lyrics

You say I see it all in black and white
Not true I see it all in blue
I tip my head back and I open wide
The sky and stars fall in on cue

I'm all right
You're in sight
Russian Blue

I slice a hole right through the atmosphere
Head out to Pluto for the night
Spin with the cow and moon and nearly there
Touch down to see you stretched in style

I'm all right
You're in sight
Russian Blue

I'm so tired of feeling
I'm so sick and tired of health and healing
I'm so tired of trying
There's no real difference
Despite your insistence
I'm all
Death and dying

I was so up that I got down again
I guess that's just the way it goes
Sometimes I feel that you're my only friend
'Cause you're the only one that knows

I'm not right
Stay in sight
Russian Blue

I'm not right
Stay in sight
Russian Blue

Russian Blue
Russian Blue
I'm with you...
