Mister Blue

Jenna made this picture of me and I been looking for a song that would fit with it. I found and it is one of my favorite songs, here performed by a Dutch singer Rene Klijn.

Mister Blue
Winter sounds are crying like the old man's slowly dying
And the only sound, the wind that fills the trees
Even colder comes the moon and though it never seems to soon
Sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze

I'm mister Blue,
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
Oh mister Blue,
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too

A young girl she's shaded, bears the scars that never faded
Of the baby that was born on Christmas day
While the heavens sing their song, a child his life is never long
Cause the food supplies will only last a day

I'm mister Blue,
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
Oh mister Blue,
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too

Patriot emotion is the cause of the commotion
After all there's really no one here to blame
Soldiers taking orders cause they must defend the borders
Of our nation and the other side is the same

I'm mister Blue,
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
Oh mister Blue,
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too

I'll come to you at night, when all the world is sleeping tight
And lie beside you till the early morning dew
You can't hear me, you can't see me, you can't feel me when you read
The folded letter she left addressed to you

I'm mister Blue,
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
Oh mister Blue,
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
I'm lonely too


René Klijn was a Dutch singer and model. He starred in a Dutch television program to talk about his AIDS disease. At the end of the program he sang ‘Mr. Blue’, a song originally by Yazoo.
A few days after the broadcast the single ‘Mr. Blue’ became a #1 hit in the Netherlands, and René Klijn donated all the money he made with it to the Dutch AIDS foundation.
René Klijn died only a few weeks later (at the age of 30) because of AIDS. (Den Haag, 8 september 1962 – 5 september 1993)

Yazoo (known as Yaz in the U.S.) are an English synthpop duo from Basildon, Essex. They had a number of top ten hits in the British charts in the early 1980s. Formed in late 1981 by former Depeche Mode songwriter Vince Clarke (synthesizer) and English singer Alison Moyet (vocals), Yazoo was signed to Mute Records in the United Kingdom and (as "Yaz") to Sire Records in the United States. Yazoo's debut single "Only You" backed with "Situation," was released on 15 March 1982 and rose to number two in the UK charts. Yazoo released two successful studio albums, Upstairs at Eric's in 1982 and You and Me Both in 1983. Shortly after, Moyet and Clarke decided to break up. Moyet pursued a solo career while Clarke went on to form Erasure, another synth pop duo. Yazoo temporarily reunited in 2008 with a tour in Europe and the United States and the release of a four-disc box set.
