"Blue World" was written with some influences related to the legendary Tim Buckley, and was written as a vocal (See the rough vocal in the Tracks & Info section here). I sent a recording to Stacy Hogan, A Writer's Paradise, who produced the instrumental.
Lyrics
"Blue World"
Music and lyrics (3/B): (c) Rick Landers 2023
She said she was leaving
in a sing song C'est la vie
I found a hidden note from Moulin Rouge
in Gay Paree
She said she'd live in France, work the bars
and high kick dance
It's a blue, blue, blue, blue world (2x)
She said we'd run our course
our love's in disrepair
She needed time alone
Maybe just a year
I told her I'd follow
She said, "No, one must surely stay."
It's a blue, blue, blue, blue world (2x)
It's a blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue world
(Instrumental Break)
I wrote a thousand letters
How I didn't understand
How I hadn't realized I'd been dealt
a trouble hand
I never heard a word
Her voice cold frozen true
so much for a girl...a girl so blue
It's a blue, blue, blue, blue world (2x)
It's a blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue world
She finally came back home
speaking in a foreign tongue
She surrounds me in a blanket
Our trinity now safe and warm
Her transatlantic voyage was so long and douloureux
She smiles gives me a kiss
She says forever we will do
Gives me a kiss
Smiles, a rhapsody in blue
It's a blue blue blue blue world (2x)
It's a blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue world (fade out)
