“Soft Blue Light” contemplates about the desire to be in front of our screens in order to provide a modicum of comfort and emphasizes the dependency we’ve created on our computers and smart phones over time. This is reflected in the song’s video with its grainy visuals and deeply saturated colors as Weiner sings, Dancing on silent screens / Heart’s always on your sleeve / I sing as you repeat / “So long to those nights dancing”. As a comment on the limitations of livestreams and our digital spaces, “Soft Blue Light” is a reverie to a seemingly distant past of live shows, clubs, and group gatherings. The melancholy of loneliness is palpable—a feeling so intense and familiar—and exudes from the entirety of Great Barrier. - Andi Harriman, Pust-Punk.com
lyrics
I know this sucks, my friends
I’m on the way home again
I’m lost without your scent
I dunno when we’ll meet again
I know this sucks, my friends
I’m on the way home again
I’m lost without your scent
I dunno when we’ll meet again
That’s all Ive seen
Dancing on silent screens
Heart’s always on your sleeve
I sing as you repeat
“So long to those nights dancing”
I know this sucks, my friends
I'm on the way home again
Another night
At home again
The soft blue light
Numbs the loneliness
Here we go again
I know this sucks, my friends
I’m on the way home again
I’m lost without your scent
I dunno when we’ll meet again
I know this sucks, my friends
I’m on the way home again
I’m lost without your scent
I dunno when we’ll meet again
That’s all I've seen
Dancing on silent screens
Heart’s always on your sleeve
I sing as you repeat
“So long to those nights dancing”
I know this sucks, my friends
I'm on my way home again
Another night
At home again
The soft blue light
Numbs the loneliness
Here we go again
