"Electric blue"

"Electric blue" recorded by Icehouse in 1987 is another extraordinary 80's song. Another song similar to "Electric Dreams". Guess maybe that has something to do with the title?

The lyrics are clearly about a boy who is infatuated with a girl and he is completely weak at the knees for her. While he is still hopeful she will feel the same way, he is losing faith that she will ever come around.

Unrequited love? Anyone for a cup of unrequited love? I'm throwing in 1 tablespoon of heartache, 3 tablespoons of tears and 2 teaspoons of loss of confidence coupled with 1 teaspoon of self questioning? Who wants it? No one? Are you sure? What if I told you.. you'd get over it? What if drinking this cup meant experiencing happiness again with someone who would give you as much love as you had given to them? What if you could experience the feeling of wonderful gratitude for this requited love? Where am I going with this..well In my opinion I don't think you can really appreciate ( to the same degree ) the wonderful things life has to offer if you haven't really experienced hardships and this thing we call "life". As a great believer in karma, what comes around goes around. We should never be afraid to put our hearts on the line and take a risk because at the end of the day we always get back what we give out.

That being said I wonder if the girl in the song ever noticed this guy and his efforts he made to be noticed ? I'm interested to know if there is anyone out there in the world who has never experienced unrequited love? If it is you.. speak up ? If it is not... speak up anyway :)

Enjoy the lyrics and video


If a boy had a chance
a chance with someone like you
are you gonna break his heart?
let him cry for the moon?
are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes?

I just freeze
everytime you see through me
and it\'s all over you
electric blue
on my knees
help me, baby
tell me, what can I do?
electric blue

Oh, I had a dream
for a moment I believed it was true
oh, I\'d have given anything
just to be there with you
are you hiding
somewhere behind those eyes?

I just freeze
everytime you see through me
and it\'s all over you
electric blue
in too deep
standing here waiting
as I\'m breaking into
electric blue
I can see
can see that it may be just a vision for you
electric blue
on my knees
help me, baby
tell me what can I do?
electric blue
