about

When I wrote Blue to me it felt more of a love song amongst other things… but I like that some people see it as more of a social commentary. Someone I loved was dealing with a big loss in their life and I wrote it on the train after seeing them. It felt like they weren’t letting themselves properly grieve and I remember feeling frustrated that they couldn’t just give in to it. That’s what made me think of the chorus “everybody’s blue” because I was looking around the train at people thinking ‘we’re all going to experience this shit one day too if we haven’t already’ Now a few years later I understand grief doesn’t work in such a linear way.

The song is also about acknowledging that no matter how much you love and want to help a person, they have to figure things out at their own pace. And it can hurt seeing loved ones in pain but that’s all part of the process for them to come out the other side of it. We can’t learn for other people but we can learn with them kind of thing…It’s meant to be a weird mix of togetherness in how we can all be united by the empathy that feeling pain brings. But also with a hint of come on mate! It’s shit!

lyrics

And I know
I’m yours to go
And I see

If you want to know the truth
Everybody’s Blue
Everybody’s Blue

And if you want to know the truth
Everybody’s Blue
Everybody’s Blue

I won’t grow your peace of mind
Heaven knows I’ll die unsatisfied
Now I can bleed

If you want to know the truth
Everybody’s Blue
Everybody’s Blue

And if you want to know the truth
It’s everybody’s clue
that everybody’s blue

And if you want to know the truth
It’s everybody’s clue
Everyone but you

So if you want
To know the truth
Everybody's blue
Everybody's blue
