Stockholm’s Azure Blue is the solo project of Tobias Isaksson, named as a tribute to Dennis Wilson’s »Pacific Ocean Blue«. The debut album »Rule of Thirds«, released in November 2011, dealt with three lost loves and a relocation from the west coast to the capital. It flirted with the likes of Bryan Ferry and Grant McLennan, 80′s sounds and samples from underrated independent directors. Authors like Hemingway and Östergren had inspired a meditation that was nostalgic without being inaccessible. The image was light blue, widescreen and dreamy. The tour began taking Azure Blue to 12 countries. From the United States to Russia. But in the midst of the dream something went too fast. Another relationship ended and the reflections on the new album are darker and more personal than the debut. They deal with missing, moving to the loneliest neighborhood in the suburb, blurred and broken nights in the city and a pursuit of inner peace that is long gone. Beyond the dreams there’s infinite doubt but beyond the doubt the dream is alive.

Azure Blue – Time Is On Our Side Lyrics:
I only wanted something real.
But people never notice anything.
Sweet dreams arise and take control
– enjoy the ride or fake it.
I can still believe in feelings
but I still want to feel the believing.
Time is on our side.
Maybe it’s a game that people play.
The more they steal
the less you want it back.
Sweet dreams arise and take control
enjoy the ride or fake it.
A dream sought good
– an unsought better.
You know I live and breathe the latter.
Time is on our side.
I want to be the one you want.
I want to be the one you want.
I want to be the one you want.
Sweet dreams arise and take control
enjoy the ride or fake it.
I can still believe in feelings
but I still want to feel the believing.
Time is on our side.
Time is on our side.
Time is on our side.
Time is on our side.
