More Than Blue [Single]

by The Sighs of Monsters

/

about

This track is a collaboration between The Sighs of Monsters and poet David Chislett. The poem "More Than Blue" appears in his new collection of poetry "With All Of You" and we were tasked with setting it to music, along with other artists who chose other works. The poem references the cultural impact of New Order's "Blue Monday" as it pounded out of the loudspeakers of the clubs in the 1980s, as the author "found his tribe". We've made some cheeky references to it in our musical treatment.

lyrics

I dance and twitch in a moment
Eyes fixed on a point
'Blue Monday' in my ears
Nineteen eighty-five
Heart is exploding
Not because of some girl
Something bigger than myself
Something I recognise

Found my tribe in that moment
A place I would call home
Nineteen eighty-five
would last a long time
But my colours are no longer
nailed to that mast
They are now my own
Now they are my own

From "With All Of You" by David Chislett
