Record Tracklist

  1. Blue -:-- / 03:48

What’s the chances that I’d see you here
After all this time, all these years
Seems like only yesterday I was holding you
Are you someone else’s sweetheart now
Do you still hang out with the same old crowd
Everybody else has settled down with somebody

White in a chiffon dress trimmed in lace
Bright in the midday sun
Blue is the colour that I see on you
Blue just seeing you

And I won’t remind you
What you left behind you
Rain on your parade

Something in your eyes
A look I know you can’t disguise
Still we both pretend there’s nothing there
Blue, the thought of you with somebody new
Blue

I’m no good at lying
I can’t keep these hands tied
I can’t watch in vain
Watch us tearing out the last page
In another life there’s a chance we would survive
So I throw a line
Look for a sign
But it’s no use
It’s no use

What’s the chances that I see you here
Some other day, some other year
Will this feeling that I carry round ever disappear

White in a chiffon dress trimmed in lace
Bright in the midday sun
Blue is the colour that I see on you
Blue
I’ll be seeing you

Reviews

FATEA MAGAZINE UK | ALBUM REVIEW - Reassuringly optimistic and beautifully played, The 4 Of Us "Sugar Island".
-----
HOT PRESS | ALBUM REVIEW - Intricate arrangements, skilful lyric writing, and as we have come to expect from The 4 Of Us, the songs are imbued with considerable melodic flair. Excellent.
-----
SUNDAY TIMES | ALBUM REVIEW - Sugar Island is one of several landmarks referenced by the brothers in songs such as Going South and Hometown on the Border, the latter's mention of 'soldiers tapping their heels' being especially evocative.
-----
GIGGING NI | LIVE REVIEW - Theirs is a symbiotic relationship – and MAN can they read a room!
-----
THE HERALD | ALBUM REVIEW - Melodic songs with a tender core and barbwire emotive edge.
-----
MAIL ON SUNDAY | ALBUM REVIEW - Brothers Declan and Brendan Murphy reflect on their childhoods ... Given that they were raised in Newry, the spectre of the northern conflict is omnipresent
-----
GIGGING NI | LIVE REVIEW - 'A finely tuned and flawless show from two accomplished performers who are perfectly in tune with each other' - GiggingNI | LYRIC THEATRE, Belfast
-----
IRISH TIMES - Sugar Island ALBUM REVIEW 4/5 - Border boys in troubled times | ‘Rational, perceptive pop/folk of the highest order’
