Story Behind The Song
This was more of an idea song. I liked the idea of different colors representing different stages in a relationship that ultimately ends in a breakup.
Song Description
In 'Was It Blue?' I loved the idea of each color representing a different stage in a relationship, from the cool, pretending-not-to- care-too-much 'blue' phase to the fiery hot 'red' phase all the way through to 'blue' again in the end.

Lyrics
Was It Blue?
Lyrics and music by Leslie Berry
Which chord did I strike in you?
Was It Blue?
So cool, we feign indifference
As I struggle to make sense of you.
Which chord did I strike in you?
Was it red?
So hot, when you touched my skin
I forgot about the things that you said.
Which chord did I strike in you?
Was it green?
Vibrant energy, channeling
From me to you to every living thing.
Which chord did I strike in you?
Was it yellow?
You smile and tilt your head up to the sun,
Basking in the warmth of the afterglow.
Which chord did I strike in you?
Was it purple?
So rich, so complex we stare,
Overwhelmed by all the emotions we stirred.
Which chord did I strike in you?
Was it black?
Hopeless threads of conversation
Leading into darkness and not coming back.
Which chord did I strike in you?
Was it blue?
So cool, we feign indifference
We look at each other and say we?re through.
And I?m still struggling to make sense of you.
