Blue For You

Liner Notes:

Silly little love song with an attempt at whistling. After spending a bunch of time recording a full band arrangement for my last one... I kept this one simple... A quick live one-take with a cheap guitar in front of a mic... added the whistles and done.

Lyrics:

Blue For You - February 1, 2010

Saturday is too far away
Let's have a weekday date
I'll bring flowers, I'll drive my car
I'll write a song, bring my guitar
I'd sing 'til I turn blue, if I could see you

If you could see what I see
Your good old fashion beauty
If you could hear what I hear
You'd hear my heart pitter patter pitter patter when I think of you
I'd sing 'til I turn blue, if I could see you

I wish I had a time machine
I'd go straight to the end of the week
Or last Saturday
or any day I could be with you
I'll sing 'til I turn blue, if I could see you

Awesome whistling. Beautiful singing. Love the lyrics.

The whistling is inspired! Your voice and delivery make the simplicity of the lyrics a virtue. Playful whimsical everyday poetry captured perfectly. Ha, the whistling is making me laugh some more! Great song. I love the romantic illogic of singing until you're blue (and near asphyxiation) if you can see her. That would be a funny meeting.

Whistling. I like it. I'm not sure I remember your voice having this whispery/smoky quality to it. I like it. Clever lyrics, too. Got me toe tappin'.

Adds pep to my walk and a smile to my face. Really happy song. Whistling really adds a little something to the whole thing

I love this song. The vocals are wistful and the whistling - normally associated with something happy - plays well against that. Nice.

This is a really cute, catchy little tune! I love your vocal tone and how expressive you are it really makes this stand out from typical acoustic fare. And you whistle way better than Mal, and me, for that matter! Really well done.
