A rough idea and edit using 25 second clips for a future themed music video.
The Story:
This heartfelt and deeply personal project has been a lifetime in the making.
Within this song, I've poured my emotions, fears, guilt, and profound sadness stemming from the unexpected wave of depression that engulfed me as I witnessed my little sister's courageous battle with cancer coming to an end.
It's not a pop song; instead, it encapsulates the discomfort and monotony that characterized those last 36 hours we spent together. It is my story, outside the rules of songwriting, but it takes you on my journey from sadness to madness to here!
We had already lost her twin brother 35 years ago. The song's artwork depicts them as youthful angels alongside an Owl, which holds great spiritual significance to me. This visual symbolizes my sincere desire to protect them, a role I wish I had fulfilled. As a young teenager, I left home and missed out on witnessing their growth and being by their side.
The song's title comes from a conversation Debbs and I recorded during her two-year battle. She asked, "I suppose you are wondering what my favorite color is.
It's Blue, Blue, Blue."
"I never knew your color was Blue, Never knew
You never knew what my color was too, Did you?" - Ma9Na
I want to make sure I remember this: "This version is a stand-alone cinematic orchestral arrangement, a collaboration between Harvey Summers and me. I stumbled upon the idea when I turned off the rock instruments in the final mix. I then envisioned a different orchestrated version that could stand on its own, with its own unique story. I wanted this version to have its own existence in the universe, like a "Fraternal Twin," which seemed poetically perfect.
