Beyond Bitterblue

Story Behind The Song

in our little local paper I saw a blog style journal from a local indie filmmaker about his latest project - a movie titled Bitterblue. He explained that he loved the old Cat Stevens song by that name and what it was about, but needed to have something else written about the topic for economic reasons. I tracked him down, wrote something, and over the course of 6 months what you now hear is the final version. And I made it into a critical scene in the movie - very cool and rewarding!

Lyrics

Beyond Bitterblue

A flower once grew among concrete dust
In among the weeds, in among the rust
Crowned in blue it said, ? I am!
Proof there?s hope in a barren land?
I believe there?s a plan
Hold on tight and we?ll make a stand
Beyond bitterblue going hand in hand mmm mmm


If you don?t see some things I do
That doesn?t mean they?re not true
With my head on your shoulder it?s not far
To see the angels how they are
Wash the bitterblue off every star, with the soft white glow of who you are
Till there?s no bitterblue left on the stars mmm mmm

Tell me there?s a place where I can live this feel?.ing that I
belong in this world if I believe there?s heal?.ing (believe (beyond bitterblue)) 2x believe?.

Believe in a God who?ll get you through
To a life beyond the bitterblue
Feel an angel?s love every day
Hear a sweet symphony, though you don?t play, black and white notes not bitterblue gray
Salvation found on a sunny day
Beyond bitterblue, once you learn how to play mmm mmm mmm
