about
Baby Blue is an original retro pop story song and is a throwback to the 1970s. It's also a song that is very special to us. Anyone who's ever identified as an underdog should be able to relate to it. It's one of the songs that we are most proud of as songwriters. It's an autobiographical work really. We poured our musical hearts into this composition.
If you like story songs, you are in for a real treat! It has a bit of a 1970s Motown backbeat. It's soulful and has a bit of a melancholy spirit, yet it's iced with hope. It's inspired by the great story songs of the past that we used to always hear on the radio when we were kids. Songs like Cher's Half-Breed, Helen Reddy's Angie Baby, Vicki Lawrence's The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia, and John Conlee's Friday Night Blues. People really don't write story songs anymore so we decided to do just that!
Nick Bramlett delivers his most heartfelt lead vocal delivery to date and he's never sounded better! We also have on both electric and acoustic guitars the extraordinary Micah Blakeslee. The amazing Christina Sivavo and Carly Emerick are on backing vocals. Baby Blue was mixed and mastered by Math Bishop who always brings his A-game!

lyrics
"Baby Blue"
©2022 All Rights Reserved.
Words & Music by Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick
Verse One:
Now there's a lonely little girl that spends too much time in the past
She's an outcast
And the broken home she came from forced her to grow up too fast
It was a contrast
Lead In:
From the life she visioned for herself
And the dreams she put up on the shelf
Don't you cry, come alive
Chorus:
Baby blue, do you wanna come out tonight and shake off the blues?
Baby blue, it's about time you live your life, you've got nothing to lose
Baby blue, no one's gonna live your life for you, ooh ooh
Baby blue, come on out and have a drink or two
Verse Two:
I still remember the first time I saw her she was wearing a frown
on the playground
She was always an outsider, used to being pushed around
in a small town
Lead In 2:
You get to feelin' isolated and bored
Can't you hear me knocking at your door?
I'm askin', let me in?
Chorus:
Baby blue, do you wanna come out tonight and shake off the blues?
Baby blue, it's about time you live your life, you've got nothing to lose
Baby blue, no one's gonna live your life for you, ooh ooh
Baby blue, come on out and have a drink or two
Lead In 3:
Now there's a marvelous moon in the sky
Like night owls we can fly so high
I just want you to see, you're so special to me
Last Chorus:
Baby blue, now do you wanna come out tonight and shake off the blues?
Baby blue, it's about time you lived your life, you've got nothing to lose
Baby blue, no one's gonna live your life for you, ooh ooh
My Baby blue, come on out and have a drink or two
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh,
Baby baby, my baby blue
