Hello, thank you for a fantastic prompt. Just lyrics/ poem. Very happy to collaborate on a song idea. My words are open to tweaking :)
Lyrics
The Blue Walls © 2026 Nadia Cripps.
Do our walls remember you? I feel they do Do they miss you? Yes, of course they do
Do the walls want you back like I do? Yes, all the time... I wish you knew How empty they are without you
They heard your steps, they felt your presence Now they smell nostalgic air filled with your absence
The walls are sad without you The walls are blue without you The walls are crying without you The walls are hollow without you
Our blue walls are singing their quiet song Whispering to me that I have to be strong Life somehow has to go on I want to shout and to moan
I can't change anything The walls can't change anything There are no second chances here He was so dear to me But now I have to stare at my blue walls Blue walls... blue walls... blue walls

Thank you Tom. It is both: personal and connected to what I often read about:(

Love this song idea, Nadia! Walls as both empty and confining is a great metaphor for grief. The image of "blue walls singing their quiet song" is so lovely and moving. And love how the song breaks into raw emotion in the last 7 lines, and intensifies everything that came before. This whole song is devastating and beautiful.
Thank you so much Chris ✨️ 🎶🙏🎵

Very melancholy but so beautiful and filled with love!
Thank you Cindy. I think we were reading each other lyrics at the same time :)

Whoa, such a sad song. A lot to process here - and knowing you're such a prolific songwriter, I have to wonder if this is personal or just great song craft? Certainly has a melancholy vibe.
