urgencytobleed | Colors, Part II (Reply)

I didn't mean for it to be so long between the first installment and this one, but I somehow got caught up with other things and didn't get around to it until now. Anyway, here it is, part two consisting of blue and red songs, below the cut.

~~Bright Eyes - True Blue~~

Once in a blue moon, there's a blue sky. I wear my blue jeans and fly my blue kite. Thing's like a bluebird until the wind dies and then the tears pour out of my blue eyes.

~~Joanna Newsom - This Side of the Blue~~

I do not know my own way to the sea but the saltiest sea knows its own way to me.

~~Kate Bush - Symphony in Blue~~

When that feeling of meaninglessness sets in, go blowing my mind on God, the light in the dark with the neon arms.

~~Over the Rhine - Bluer~~

I die just a little bit, just a little bit everyday. Get by just a little bit, just a little bit that way.

~~Regina Spektor - Blue Lips~~

He stumbled into faith and thought, "God, this is all there is?" The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe and all the gods and all the worlds began colliding on a backdrop of blue.

~~The Decemberists - Red Right Ankle~~

How it whispered, "Oh, adhere to me for we are bound by symmetry and whatever differences our lives have been, we together make a limb."

~~Fiona Apple - Red Red Red~~ (Jon Brion-produced version)

There's solace, a bit, in submitting to the fitfully, cryptically true. What's happened has happened, what's coming is already on its way with a role for me to play.

~~The Good Life - The Moon Red Handed~~

The songs we don't sing are the hardest to hear, words left unsaid, words we wish we'd forget. The guilt slips from our lips, confessions hidden behind eyelids.

~~The Hush Sound - Wine Red~~

I cut the arrow from your neck, stretched you beneath the tree. Among the roots and baby's breath, I covered us with silver leaves.

~~Neko Case - Deep Red Bells~~

The red bells beckon you to ride, a handprint on the driver's side - it looks a lot like engine oil and tastes like being poor and small and popsicles in the summer.
