‘Questions in a World of Blue’ would have been the ideal song to accompany this interlude of the Divine Diva Tour: A Fairy’s Tale – alas, that was already used in this moon-themed post on a lost former-friend. And so we are tasked with the dilemma of finding another blue-themed song to go with this blue-hued interlude. The Blue Danube, Rhapsody in Blue, and Blue Moon – a triumvirate of trite and true blue classics – and all seem too literal, too easy. The Divine Diva Tour is a little more complicated than that, despite what the surface might have you believe. Instead, have a listen to ‘Blue Night’ below, as our interlude brings us further along this fairy’s tale.
This is the tale of a little boy
who once found wonder everywhere in the world,
but who came to be
Lost in the mirror, enchanted by his own self.
The embodiment of Narcissus, captivated by his own reflection.
A boy caught up in the superficial, the surface, the appearance of things –
in the ever-shifting kaleidoscope of reflections and images and mirrors –
always slightly askew and backwards,
reversed and upside down and dizzyingly grand if a little grotesque.
Nothing was real. All was fantasy,
… no matter how much he was loved…
