about

So Purple is a song I wrote with Seth Fox, who plays the killer flute stuff. It's a song that can be interpreted a few different ways, but it's basically about trying to disregard the fictions of society and culture to realize our true essence and connection to everything else in the universe. Some have thought it was a love song about combining two souls in that way; some have thought it was about the red and blue parties and how that tribalism is destroying our lives. Both of those are true. Seth Fox on flutes, Chad Stuible on keys, Daniel Seymour on bass, and Hayden Cotcher on drums.

lyrics

So Purple –
Written by S.A. Wolfe and Seth Fox
Red and blue
It’s a simple combination but a different radiation from
Me and you
When we strip away the egos and through the forest we goes
Dancing like kids in the rain
Seeing through the pleasure and pain
to the truth that’s always been
You and I could be so purple
You and I could be so purple
Pulling away
Like a shift from where you’re standing but your zenith is demanding of you
Everyday
Coming and going from the River that keeps flowing
Out in the ocean to dissipate
Up in the sky to precipitate
then we start all over again
You and I could be so purple
You and I could be so purple
You and me
on a circle not a ribbon with no need to be forgiven baby
can’t you see
that the wall is an illusion and it’s causing us confusion
we’re just holding on to a lie
thinking it helps us to get by
But when we let go and get it right
You and I will be so purple
You and I will be so purple
