This Big Blue” is both a call-out song and an R&B ballad for the disenfranchised. Frank’s nervy melody and moving lyrics convey the gravity of her message. It evokes retro, yet, timeless feels. The world, our big blue, is in a state of crisis, making it all the more relevant. Woullard’s production is full – with presence, orchestration and smart arrangement – making the four-minute journey feel like miles.
lyrics
This Big Blue - Lyrics
This world is heartless / so make your mark first
Before you give up completely, don't give up
Put your heart first / listen to your thirst
You are the only you in this big blue
Yeah, Hmmm
You are the only you, in this big blue
You gotta keep holdin' on
Don't let me catch you boy walkin' down the street
Tryin' to make others feel
Lower than your highness feels
your greed revealed
You've got a lot of nerve to think you made it boy
You got a lot of nerve
Playin' that corner now / but you're never leavin' town
You're never leavin' town, you're never leavin' town, never leavin' town
never leavin' now
It's gonna take a good spine to do what's right
In a world full of trouble there's so much spite
The high road sees few
I won't ignore the history
I won't pretend that I don't see
The things that you do
It's gonna a catch up to you
Gonna a catch up to you, gonna a catch up to you
Gonna catch, gonna catch
This world is heartless / so make your mark first
Before you give up completely, don't give up
Put your heart first / listen to your thirst
You are the only you in this big blue
