lyrics

Bitter black never dressed in blue
A chain on her arm like some shadow falling through
Bitter black was the enemy of pink
I wanted color but I wasn't there to think
No, I wasn't there to think
And if the warm rain hits her she would melt like wax
She would fall right to pieces there in the stacks
And if the fire catches up she'd melt like ice
All the colors run together, isn't it nice?
All the colors run together now.
Bitter black hides underneath the light
And slowly collapses into a pile of white
Bitter black was a monochrome machine
I wanted color but you kept it unseen
Yes, you kept it unseen
And if the warm rain hits her she would melt like wax
She would fall right to pieces there in the stacks
And if the fire catches up she'd melt like ice
All the colors run together, isn't it nice?
All the colors run together now.
A deep blue winter would bring me inches of snow
But it's not as cold as your heart is now
A red rose forest would need a thousand spring days
To produce a moment of my love for you
A red rose forest would need a million spring days
To produce a moment of my love for you
Bitter black never dressed in blue
A chain on her arm like some shadow falling through
Bitter black was the enemy of pink
I wanted color but I wasn't paid to think!

about

Joe Turner & the Seven Levels Boston, Massachusetts

Running a wire-length between gauzy meditation and full-on psych-rock with huge harmonies, rock-solid drums, sharp guitars, and watery pianos. Joe's unerring melodic sensibilities plunk stoned cyclical mantras on the same skewer as twitchy psych-pop for a delicious psychedelic rock shishkebab.

"One of the coolest independent albums by a local artist this year... an aural odyssey" - Boston Phoenix ... more
