Death is a thief, and this song is all about the harsh emptiness that comes when you lose a loved one.
In our song "One More Try" from The EP, we have a line that says "our memories, once colored bright, are haunting smears of black and white."
If I remember correctly, this was the song that first explored that idea; "the colors replaced with shades of grey."
Oddly enough, my favorite color is clear.

lyrics
I, I don't understand.
If this was the plan all along,
then I will never be the same,
and who is to blame for this wrong?
Somehow you were stolen.
Please don't go, don't leave me here alone.
No please don't go.
I, I can't face another day
The colors replaced
with shades of grey.
Somehow you were stolen!
Please don't go, leave me here alone.
No, I can't do this on my own, alone.
No.
Please don't go, and leave me here alone...no.
I can't face the day.
No...
I won't go alone.
Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack! H.L.
Oh well, Christmas is approaching... time to buy at least one Christmas album! I'm not a fan of Christmas, as it is celebrated today, nor do I like the typical cheesy Christmas music played everywhere these days. So it had to be something special. The "crash test" for this album was the version of "Silent Night", which nobody managed to get right so far. Well, with the exception of "Falling Up". Frankly, as a fan of Jessy Ribordy, I'm not surprised that much... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
Cuts deep and stays with you. There is an earnest honesty in the lyrics that pulls you in. If, like me, you thought this album was merely "good" when you listened to it the first time, give it a few more plays. You might just fall in love with it. Francis Berglund
