Aleka's Attic- Blue Period

by the Florida based band Aleka's Attic, that included River Phoenix.
vocals: Josh M.
LYRICS

I never thought i could see such blue as the ice i fell into
I never thought i could feel such blue as the chill now embracing you

Most of us know where to go when we need someone
but im fool, too out of reach, i believe no one
this is not the way i want to see your face
and this change could be the death of you and me

Because i opened the door to such blue livid flesh, how the blood shows through
(as sunken veins withdraw from you)
if i could draw a conclusion here i'd say that the end draws near

Most of us have somewhere safe to escape from the cold
but we've exhausted any trust to think we could hold
and i'll never know the ghost that wears your clothes
and you must not know how close to the edge i go

this is not the way i want to see your face
your desperate eyes reach me as blue as blue could be

Our sentence ends with a blue period
Our sentence ends with a blue period

i must admit i have a problem recognizing this as River's voice, same as in Goldmine...though i think this is more likely to be him that the one singin Goldmine...who knows?anyway i'm sure at 'least' he's doing the back vocals or sht..and they're both beautiful songs, almost as beautiful as he was...

[rikki444]

i agree, i think if Josh McKay sings this- he also sings 'goldmine'. definately the same vocal.

[rikki444]

great voice, whoever it is.

[rivbrook08]

is that river's voice??

[rikki444]

i dont know to be honest. Josh McKay sang lead vocals on some songs while River stuck to guitar, so it could very possibley be him? regardless, its a great song :)

[mstiatiarra21]

I agree about his voice. Even listening to him talk im like oh river you sound so cute lol

[FABRYALEXYS]

ALEKA'S ATTIC AND RIVER ARE SIMPLY THE BEST ; BAND AND ARTIST That EVER WALKS IN THIS PLANET

I never thought I could see such blue

as the ice I fell into I never thought I could feel such blue

as the chill now embracing you

Most of us know where to go when we need someone

I'm a fool too out of reach I believe no one

This is not the way I want to see your face

and this change could be the death of you and me

Cause I opened the door to such blue

living flesh our blood shows through

well he obviously did have a positive impact or else we wouldnt be here remembering him all this time later

i sometimes get myself worked up about what he could have done, but then it hits me i should celebrate what he already gave us, so even though he may have only been one person to the world, he is the world to so many of us

and we know he was a sweety,

[RJP7093]

inspired47, i rec'd an email from josh greenbaum (former bandmate) telling me that the song was written and performed by josh mckay. it's not river's voice.

i hate to tell ppl how he died, because that is usually the first question asked. and you know how 'first impressions' work... well then, ppl tend to concentrate on how he died instead of how he lived and what a positive impact he was to this world.

[inspired47]

i think that was his voice

it sounds the way he did in his live performances

love and miss river so much

its sad that a lot of people have mostly forgotten his talent and just think of him as some druggy
