Signal Blue

"Signal Blue" is a song about a night that feels like love is about to begin.

A crossing, just before the last train. She lets one train go on purpose.
All she knows is a name. Beyond that, only the sound of a voice.
The light of a vending machine is far too bright, so she turns up her collar.

Nobody confesses. Nobody answers.
Across these three minutes and fifty-three seconds, the only thing that happens
is a signal turning blue - the color Japan gives to a green light.

An eight-beat at 136 BPM, a DX7 electric piano, gated reverb snares.
The sound of 1985, and the last chorus lifts a semitone.

Blue is not the color of sadness.
