Mystic Blue 04:21
I'll never say goodbye There's a feeling that lingers in the air Like a perfume The flowers sitting on the shelf From yesterday Blooming for us under bright days With our last breath Our hearts have become a pair of flames They're reflecting the double-light Of both our souls Fraternal twins The burning torches of our mirrored sins Tonight is made of mystic A final flash from me and you Mystic Blue Yes, we have said goodbye But I'll still be crying out for you Mystic Blue I'll never say goodbye When I leave I will leave the door ajar There's an angel Come to bring us faith and joy Come to reclaim The broken mirrors And the dying flames Tonight is made of mystic A final flash from me and you Mystic Blue Yes, we have said goodbye But I'll still be crying out for you Mystic Blue I see you walking down a mountain In a moment with somebody else I hear you speaking with the same voice No longer sounding like yourself You crumble with the revelation Another god comes crashing down Oh, how I'd love to see the ruins It's there our Moses would drown When we can't talk I will write down the things I cannot say All these feelings Created something in my heart It's like a pearl A message in a bottle to the world Tonight is made of mystic A final flash from me and you Mystic Blue Yes, we have said goodbye But I'll still be crying out for you Mystic Blue

Fairy Tale 03:52
My heart is sinking into the moon It's an unnecessary vulnerability My heart is breaking Under this pressure I left behind bread crumbs So how did I get lost? Wandering the forest Hiding from the wolves In the shadow of the castle That does not want me back Like a fairy tale I'll find the best of me All I used to know Is dead and cold Does not matter what It doesn't matter who I don't blame myself I don't blame you I'm afraid of life But I'm not afraid of love I don't need anything Just you and me I don't need the key 'Cause I'm not coming back Where I lay my head Is up to me Bushes and brambles Clearing a path to a door I can open Somewhere I call home Wandering the forest Hiding from the demons In the shadows, under Ivy When no one has your back Find your fairy tale Just like the best of you All you used to know Is nevermore Does not matter what It doesn't matter who Don't you blame yourself If they blame you So afraid of life But never afraid of love We don't need anything Just me and you We don't want the key We're never coming When we close my eyes It's paradise Like a fairy tale I'll find the best of me 'Cause all I used to know Is dead and gone Does not matter what It doesn't matter who I don't blame myself I don't blame you I'm afraid of life But I'm not afraid of love I don't need anything Just me and you I don't need the key Cause I'm not coming back Where I lay my head Is up to me

about

Inspired by Baudelaire’s poem The Death of Lovers, Mystic Blue is an elegy to brothers divided by life yet bound by love.


Mystic Blue and Fairy Tale were produced by Nicolas and Matt Catlow using a range of 80s inspired virtual instruments, including the Juno 6V, Dexed DX7 for bass and synth brass stabs, Roland Jupiter 8V, and Fairlight CMI. Offbeat, choppy guitar chords were recorded on a Fender Stratocaster to add rhythm and texture to the chorus. EQ, panning, and compression were applied to balance the mix, and Lexicon style plates, rooms, and halls were used for reverb to create an authentic late 70s early 80s atmosphere. The final production blends digital synthesis with live instrumentation for a cohesive vintage sound.
