Liquid Blue; an element and a color. In the 60's it meant expanding
the mind; experimentation and reaching another dimension. The ultimate
goal was nirvana, heaven, samadhi, inner peace or any of the many names
for bliss.
Liquid Blue is also related to the environment. Skies should be blue; the water
in the oceans and lakes should be blue.
Liquid Blue, the band, has idealistic goals backed by realistic efforts and
expectations. For every action there is a reaction. Positive actions bring
positive results. In musical terms the premise of this philosophy is that
every song, every album, every concert can make a difference. The real
goal of Liquid Blue isn't to necessarily change the world, but to change
one person, or one attitude at a time and to change ourselves in the
process.
The message of Liquid Blue is one of love. Not human love, but higher love.
Liquid Blue's founder, Scott Stephens, has vowed that the band will never
write or record a human love song. Not that there is anything wrong with
human love; it is truly a wonderful thing, but 90% of popular music is
devoted to this subject, while other important topics get much less
"airtime". Liquid Blue's interpretation of love is that of care
and concern for others. This translates into themes of peace, freedom,
equality, civil rights, human rights, concern for the environment, etc.,
which are common threads in the music of Liquid Blue. The result of a
"higher love" philosophy and action is a better planet to live
on. Less conflict, more harmony.
Music can be a catalyst for change. Music can inspire and motivate. Music can
uplift and provide hope. Popular music can be targeted to our base
instincts or our highest ideals. Liquid Blue strives for the higher
standard.
The music of Liquid Blue is multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-faceted. It
blends western pop melodies with ancient and modern eastern sounds. It has
been coined "World Pop" which is a brand new genre
classification. Both lyrically and musically, Liquid Blue has set a course
for a new sound and a new attitude.
Blue is Green!: Liquid Blue was officially designated a
