Symphony in Blue

About Symphony in Blue

"Symphony in Blue" is a song written and recorded by Kate Bush and is the opening track to her second album, Lionheart. It was released as a single in Japan and Canada, where it was second single taken from Lionheart. "Wow" was the second single for the rest of the world. As with the "Wow" single elsewhere, the Lionheart track "Fullhouse" was used as the B-side for the Japanese single. Its picture sleeve was exclusive to this release. For the Canadian release, the single was issued on blue vinyl in a generic (i. e. non-picture) "Harvest" sleeve, with the Lionheart track "Hammer Horror" used as the B-side ("Hammer Horror" was released as a single in its own right elsewhere in the world, notably the UK). A promotional version featured "Symphony in Blue" on both sides, in 'mono' and 'stereo' form. more »

I spent a lot of my time looking at blue, 
The color of my room and my mood: 
Blue on the walls, blue out of my mouth; 
The sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes out, 
The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about. 

When that feeling of meaninglessness sets in, 
Go blowing my mind on God: 
The light in the dark, with the neon arms, 
The meek He seeks, the beast He calms, 
The head of the good soul department. 

I see myself suddenly 
On the piano, as a melody. 
My terrible fear of dying 
No longer plays with me, 
for now I know that I'm needed 
For the symphony. 

I associate love with red, 
The colour of my heart when she's dead; 
Red in my mind when the jealousy flies, 
Red in my eyes from emotional ties, 
Manipulation, the danger signs. 

The more I think about sex, the better it gets. 
Here we have a purpose in life: 
Good for the blood circulation, 
Good for releasing the tension, 
The root of our reincarnations. 

I see myself suddenly 
On the piano, as a melody. 
My terrible fear of dying 
No longer plays with me, 
for now I know that I'm needed 
For the symphony. 

I spent a lot of my time looking at blue 
No wonder that I blue it!
