Fun Fact: A clip from our St. Valentine's Day performance of the song "Tidal" can be found on YouTube. The song, originally called "Black Ink," contained the lines, "maybe we were 17, I'm certain it's black ink the only way it's happening, I made an omen, the fever came over me." The revised lyrics are riddled with num...erology, biblical iconography and the events that lead to the origin of Everything Purple. Though the answer to the song's puzzle was forshadowed within our previous release, it only begins to paint a portion of the picture ♥ Read More

Fun Fact: First written and rehearsed in the winter of 2007, "1992" bears the closest resemblance to the pop formats followed on Bouquet. Yet, with it's play on tenses, displaced language and lines about time, the song's title unfoils as a year selected at random for it's easy rhyming scheme. More importantly, it share...s a relationship with another title on Everything Purple and underlines the EP's scrambling of past, present and future.

Purple, with variations of red violet or dark violet, are used in the Orthodox and Catholic Churches at funerals, Great Lent and Easter time, representing transformation and higher consciousness.

In contrast to purple, Gray is used during this time as the colour of ashes and is therefore a biblical symbol of mourning and repentance. Churches avoid the use of any flowers in the sanctuary during Lent.Read More
