Thomas Dolby - Blue Is A River Lyrics
Blue remembers
Blue like a planet to a spaceman
Blue river of my tears
Like the heather on the hillside
Like the iceflow from the Arctic
Where we landed in Newfoundland
There's a colour to my sorrow
There's a name for all this sadness
Like the ocean in between us
I am blue
Blue is a river
Blue remembers
Blue water running clear
Blue river of my tears
So I came here to the city
Where the dream burns like a furness
And I dazzled in these dark streets
Like a diamond in a coalface
Till the cold wind from the islands
Blew a storm cloud across the new moon
Like the gunsmoke above the houses
In my home
Blue is a river
Blue remembers
Blue water running clear
Blue like a planet to a spaceman
Blue river of my tears
Blue river of my tears

Thomas Dolby Blue Is A River Comments
The lyrics by Dolby lead into MacMasters fiddle playing. Anyone who knows about the sparsely settled and longest settled part of North America, Atlantic Canda, will appreciate this.
When you know what Cape Breton music is, you know it's not boring. It's beautiful. They did a fantastic job. Can't express - and dancing too! Wow!
Is he using some kind of phoney vocal harmonizer bullshit thing? Sounds just awful. If I were here would have walked off stage.
what tune is this?
I'm with you, Doug. There's a lack of fit between the two bits....even though both are great.
each one to his own i suppose, but it's the 1st 1/2 i like best...great harmonising & slow fiddle.. with a difference !!
lovely !!!
Absolutely wonderful fiddle playing. The best part definitely starts from 5:25, skip right to it, as the music from the on gets incredible!!
Christ! I thought she was going to poke an eye out when she really got going! That or kick TD's keyboard over!
Natalie Macmaster & Thomas Dolby - Great together.
the vocal layering gave it a very haunting tone that one just has to ponder. though there are parts where the technology's flaws shine through
A Dolby se le cae el teclado y suena bien...
grande la chica de Nueva Escocia también!!
Desde Chile saludos master Thomas thanks for your music
The brilliant thing about TD is that he doesn't see the need of pigeon-holing music. Does this tune work? For some yes, for others, no. Does it matter? Not really. The point is, enjoy what each has to offer and the true value in it will shine. Some of the best music I've heard is slow and plaintive. In my mind, that's what's happening in the first part of this tune. The rest is like the awakening of hope. It is new; it is fresh; it is good. Cheerio
its kinda boring until she realli gets into it
dude that gurl is amaaaazing!!! incredible..
beautiful. and she's been playing the hell out of that fiddle. look at all the rosin on the body below the strings, lol. thanks for this.
The part worth listenting to starts at 4:12.
-jcr
dioooos qué crack la violinista!!
Natalie is so brilliant, and to think, Thomas Dolby has his own thing going...but their styles are like water and oil, that voicing is like, what the? huh!?
wishing i could step dance now...
Simply beautiful and amazing!! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, indeed it's a pity the vocals weren't up to scratch as the song is beautiful - of course the fiddle's there as always
I think the vocal layers are pretty cool. Could be a bit crisper maybe. Isn't this a bit like Imogen Heap?
