The track that announced the creation of their second album was “Painkiller Weather.” This track flawlessly encapsulates the overall vibe and vision of the album. I wish we could talk about it like old friends.” The emotion is downright palpable with each line, declaring, “No one knows the pain like you did. The dusty guitars and somber melody share feelings of grief surrounding the death of Walsh’s cousin who took his own life. Then there is “Old Friends” where things take a step back. It’s bound to get stuck in your head long after the album stops. “Twilight (My Heaven)” keeps the momentum going with its infectious hook and repetitive chorus. The boisterous and lively, “YOUNG” is a generational anthem, touting an inspirational “battle cry” about not wasting your youth and being better than before. I want my life to be celebrated, not for my death to be mourned there’s already too much sadness in this world.” I want you to celebrate, sing, laugh, and dress in violet. Walsh explained, “ W hen I die, I don’t want it to be a miserable funeral where everybody doesn’t fucking talk. It takes all of the morbidity surrounding death and turns it on its head in favor for celebrating life instead trading in the drab, all-black affair for one that’s uplifting and grand. Speaking of upbeat tracks with dark lyrical undertones, “In Violet” is the perfect depiction of just that. “ We were thick as thieves until you fell out of love, I don’t think I love you still but now I’m not sure, Don’t feel much anymore.” This track provides funky-rhythmic backdrop for a lyrical heartbreak. Things do not slow-down from there as we go into “Baby Blue.” It’s upbeat Dance-infused riffs are the backdrop for a love that’s come to a halt. This track perfectly sets the tone for the album, spilling details of young love, backseat confessions, and the emotions that come with it. We want you to feel it all.”įrom the very beginning, the opening track “Just Right” hits you in the face with nostalgia-ridden lyrics with a punchy beat to match. We want you to dance, laugh, cry, and have fun. We wanted to musically and lyrically approach these experiences from an honest place.
#GRAYSCALE BABY BLUE SONG FULL#
The songs are very transparent stories that cover the full spectrum of feelings you experience in life true reflections of things like love, sex, being a teenager, addition, pain, joy, grief, death, and everything in-between.
“ The music provokes a lot of visuals, because it’s very conversational, real, and romantic. You never experience the same emotion twice, each playthrough evokes a new myriad of feelings, ensuring a new experience with each listen. It is gut-punching, pensive, cathartic, and danceable all at once. Grayscale – Collin Walsh (vocals), Dallas Molster (guitar, vocals), Andrew Kyne (guitar), Nick Ventimiglia (bass), and Nick Veno (drums) – manage to align nostalgic confessions while delivering ’90s-infused Alternative Rock wrapped in a modern-day package. From backseat post-coital promises between lovers, addiction, and celebrating life before death, each track is like a personal letter or proclamation among close friends that Grayscale have so graciously decided to share with us all. Set to be released on September 6th under Fearless Records, their sophomore album plays like a diary of your most heartfelt and sincere memories to plague your adolescence. The Philadelphia quintet, Grayscale are back with one of the most eloquent and honest representations of the band yet with their second full-length album – Nella Vita.
