Blue Dress 04:15
she was wearing a blue dress and that's what i remember best she was wearing a blue dress and that's what i remember best practical in design functional and yet sublime at times when i remember best i think of her and her blue dress she was wearing a blue dress and that's what I remember best... sometimes i don't understand these scenes that play in my mind and though i won't feel the warmth of her caress i'll think of her and her blue dress she was wearing a blue dress and that's what i remember best... it always seemed a bit unfair the way that she'd let down her hair but thoughts like this are put to rest when i think of her and her blue dress she was wearing a blue dress and that's what i remember best... you know i still recall the time when i looked deep into her eyes but i remember more what happened next when i saw her in a blue dress sometimes it seems like she was made just for me but there are times when i remember best when i think of her and her blue dress she was wearing a blue dress and that's what i remember best... simple practical effortlessly magical at times when i remember best i think of her and her blue dress there are times when thinking of her leaves a pain in my chest but there are times when i remember best and i'll think of her and her blue dress...

about

Adelaide is a collection of songs about coming to terms with the past and present and, ultimately, taking that elusive next step. Somewhere along the way, Adelaide has also become a statement of sorts on the creative process. The album showcases Klein's new approach to music, featuring vintage drum machines, breezily hypnotic guitars, propulsive rhythms, a few desperate blasts of distortion, and a new emphasis on the spoken word.

about

Troy Meadows New Jersey

Hi all,

​I’ve been recording as “Troy Meadows” for something like fifteen years. My music has received airplay from radio stations like WMBR, WITR, WMFO, WNTE, KAOS, WTUL, KZSU, WUOG, XPN, WMPG, WTSR, and KALX.

I am a PROUD HOME RECORDER.

My latest release, A Faith Observed, is an album about wrestling with God. It's my clumsy masterpiece. As you will hear, every note is sincere.

-D. Klein
