La Bleue is a followup to La Rouge. From initial infatuation to eventual doubt, this project follows a journey throughout the highs and lows of a relationship. A sort of excerpt, of a moment in time in my life. I wanted to be able to tell a story with the production. I'm glad to have friends that were able to help bring the story to life. Throughout the process, I've been trying to figure myself out. Self awareness is so important, yet something a lot of us seem to lack. I hope to find my way soon. I also hope you're doing well.

Window Pain is the first single from La Bleue, a followup to La Rouge.

2016 has been a wild year for me. Wrestling back and forth with the internal struggles of a broken heart. We live and we love and we eventually learn that sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to let go. I feel like I'm still trying to let go.

"I wait by the window pane,
waiting for you to come take me away....

You've got me searching,
you've got me running for truth.
I'm stuck playing the game again."

- Luke Olson of @TheWaltersBand

Love can be a difficult compromise. We begin to lose our independence, as routine becomes stagnant. Sometimes, we convince ourselves that it's okay to be selfish. To take that job. To make that move. To sacrifice the relationship for a change. But if something's not broken, should it be fixed? Is that so bad? I hope not. But I still can't say for certain.

"Co-dependent, that money, pussy, power struggle... that's life. Wonder why you're tryna make me out to be the bad guy..."

"Damn near banned from everywhere you wanna be. Sand near me 'cuz I like to visit beaches"

"It's complicated, I think that it's complicated.
I think that I've been deprived of where your body lays,
I think that I'm complicated, I also think you're simple baby.
I think that I've been afflicted, hoping that we'll stay the same."
- @Jessiath

"It shouldn't be that hard...
to tell me what you're thinking.
We've been running around in circles,
going back and forth, like a trapeze, we're in a circus.
So absurd you can't speak freely,
why won't you make it easy on yourself?"

"I don't want to waste my data,
I don't want to wait no more.
See, I ain't got the time or patience,
I ain't got a plan no more."

"I swear I've been ready for my whole life,
ever since a youngin', rolling 'round with all the bros,
I never really cared about a hater, they've got no life.
Girl, I wanna see that body moving in the low lights..."
- @NotCaeJones

"Pretty round brown, driving me wild,
on your cell phone, put your phone down.
Where you going? Can I come too?
I've been so blue, down... down..."
