    CD: Dog in the Manger   Label: independent
    Credits: written, performed and produced by Jhene Eriwn

    Story Behind the Song
    "Blue" is about a runaway struggling with her inner demons. Her world has become filled with the trappings of the streets and this song marks her final struggle to get out. It is inspired by the time during which Jhene was living in a rough area of Toronto, Canada. The people and events that she observed, caused her to come to a deeper understanding of her own conflicts.

    Like all tracks on "Dog In The Manger," "Blue" was composed and recorded by Jhene alone, in the office/spare bedroom of her home. The source of all the music is a Triton LE multivoiced keyboard. The vocals were recorded in one take.

    Lyrics
    Baby waits for liquid velvet.
    Baby lets religion go.
    Baby waits for liquid velvet.
    Baby feels desire slow.

    Bordering on belief in the kingdom of sleighbells.
    Long lavished, silver and gold,
    caught in a web of promise.
    She peels white skin from her palms,
    layers of dried glue.
    Lost in his supple paws, she longs for blue.

    Baby waits for liquid velvet.
    Baby lets religion go.
    Baby waits for liquid velvet.
    Baby feels desire slow.

    Her back talk swiings objects toward her.
    She curves her lumbar, sits back on her heels.
    Stars streaking in her slow shutter
    photographic memory.
    Sand slips though the hourglass
    of Gale's imagination.
    Breathe deep, un huh, breathe deep.

    Baby waits for liquid velvet.
    Baby lets religion go.
    Baby waits for liquid velvet.
    Baby feels desire slow.

    In the back side of dreams
    she wakes up in the desert.
    Gale cries when she tries
    to feel past the royal blues
    Mama thought she'd know better.
    She's gone and lost her baby.
    Her sweet sweet baby girl.
    Her sweet sweet baby girl.

    Baby waits for liquid velvet.
    Baby lets religion go.
    Baby waits for liquid velvet.
    Baby feels desire slow.

    She feels desire slow.
