CHANTAL KREVIAZUK "Blue" 1999

The Canadian singer-pianist wrote “Blue” about war, poverty and other atrocities. “They say we’re in a state of emergency/So how come no one is panicking,” the lyric begins. “Where were you when they wrote the news?/And how are you?

I conceived of an invalidated life. Tragedy is everywhere and I couldn’t believe what we are caught up in.” — K.B.
