Lyrics for Song: Death of a Shade of a Hue
Lyrics for Album: The Sunlandic Twins [2005]
Over a sea of grief Scarlet died,
above her dying mind were fossilfied memory imprints of her favorite day,
for a minute I stayed watching this brilliant display,
until a god with a broom came and swept them away.
In their bereavement all of her colorful friends,
Turned to a milky grey depressing blend,
Which incidentally made Grey feel inane,
So he set off to find a less trite identity,
One as stunning and bold as Scarlet used to be.

Death of a Shade of a Hue
Death of a Shade of a Hue stands as a vivid example of Of Montreal's experimental approach during the mid-2000s. Featured on the 2005 album The Sunlandic Twins, the track captures the band's signature blend of baroque pop and psychedelic rock. Kevin Barnes, the group's primary songwriter, often explores surreal themes and emotional volatility within his discography, and this recording reflects that distinct artistic voice. The song contributes to an era where the band refined their complex arrangements and theatrical delivery. While the album itself is celebrated for its ambitious scope, this particular track highlights the intricate layering and melodic sensibilities that define the group's broader body of work. It remains a notable song in their catalogue for fans interested in the evolution of their sound during this prolific period. |
