Indigo Sea

about

My new track, ‘Indigo Sea’. It’s a slow, melancholy song with a soft fingerstyle guitar. I was aiming for something that sounded a bit nostalgic and dreamy. I made a music video for this song featuring old vintage clips too which is on YouTube. It is surprising how much you can do with only 2 instruments and a sampled drum beat. This song was recorded in one day with my mic, my guitar and my 1980s keyboard. Everything but my voice, the guitar and the rhythm was recorded on my keyboard. I learnt this guitar fingerpicking style from covering Bob Dylan’s song ‘Boots of Spanish Leather’. I think they fit the chords well. Also, the continuation of the drumbeat was inspired by Lana Del Rey’s song ‘Chemtrails Over the Country Club’. I love it when I can find direct sonic inspirations from other tracks, even if it is a small detail. The lyrics to this song are pretty dark but I think that fits the sound of the track. Themes of sadness and the sea are pretty typical of my music, I like to think this track would be perfect for walking on the beach alone in a storm haha.

lyrics

There’s a cliff by the indigo sea
Where I drop all my misery
I watch the silver tides and cry out to the sky, I cry

Oh everlasting one
All hope of true love is gone
Will I be happy
In your cold indigo sea

And diamond moons hang from a jet black sky
And chime in the winds that blow soft up high
I live in moans and sighs, await my time to die, to die

Oh everlasting one
All hope of true love is gone
Will I be happy
In your cold indigo sea
