Melodic indie-rock with expansive lyrics guided by strong female vocals. all proceeds go to UK mental health charities.
Blue Generation formed in 2001 in Blackpool, Lancashire. Carl Bailey, Dave Clayton and Graham Clayton formed the idea of their band after their recent discovery of guitar bands such as Manic Street Preachers and Radiohead. James Hyde soon joined the group and began teaching guitar to Graham and Dave while Carl taught himself on drums. With Carl as lead lyricist and James writing the music, the Blue Generation sound started to develop through countless living room and garage based rehearsals.
In 2003, Debbie Gregson joined the band as the vocalist they had been looking for as the band recorded their first original demos and played their first gigs before departures for University started to hamper their progress. However two more sets of demos and many more gigs followed over the next three years until the hard decision to suspend activities in 2006.
Carl and James had always promised to one day finish the Blue Generation album as intended but Carl lost his battle with depression in 2013. Over the next four years James worked to deliver on the promise and in 2017 the album had finally been completed. The result is a melodic, guitar-led album fronted by the same powerful female vocals that originally defined them.
lyrics
And I live in a world of lies,
Of deceit and of crippling lies,
When I think why,
I stop to cry and hurt,
Feel pain that the world has taught,
And this life wasn't chosen,
And the mirror shows a broken man,
A desperate lonely crying man,
And all hope has gone,
And memories of yesteryear,
Of happiness and distant cheer,
Only push me down yet more,
And it makes me cry,
And I live in a world of lies,
Of deceit and of crippling lies,
When I think why,
I stop to cry and hurt,
Feel pain that the world has taught,
And this life wasn't chosen,
And it makes me cry,
And I lead such a distant life,
An unwanted distant time,
Spent mourning the years I have,
While I sink into lonely grief,
And it breaks me down
And I don't care anymore,
I can't see the big picture,
Such an overwhelming thought,
You can cry and you can hurt,
Because I can't do it anymore,
I can't carry on
And it makes me cry,
It breaks me down,
I can't carry on,
It's never been what I wanted,
I've never been who I wanted.
