about

The title was insprired by the discovery of a new colour in 2009, YInMn Blue. It was the first blue pigment to be found in over 200 years.

lyrics

Winter is the newest blue
Pins and needles biting blue
Strumming slow the ice guitar
Raynaud’s fingertips on cue

Winter is the newest blue
Magpie wing the night shift blue
Creases cross the freezing scar
Blizzards blow the snowdrift skew

Winter is the newest blue
Evening loch lamenting blue
Older than the distant star
The wind that pulls the ripples through

Winter is the newest blue
Sleeping dormer windows blue
Final like a double bar
Bleakest, blackest, boundless hue
