LITTLE BLUE Jacob Collier @Mahogany Sessions

On a sun-filled day in September, Jacob invited a group of fans to meet him at the Heritage & Arts Centre in Bow, London, for a special, audience-choir inspired rendition of his new single, Little Blue.

SONG MEANING

The opening line of the song immediately makes the listener question who Little Blue is.

* Little blue, be my shelter
* Be my cradle, be my womb
* Be my boat, be my river
* Be the stillness of the moon

Perhaps it is about a spiritual awakening and a connection to a divine source?

* If I could, I’d go with you
* To a place I never knew
* In your eyes, so dark and open
* There’s a light that leads me back to you

* Cause you’re not so far away
* I hear you say “You’ll never walk alone”

And then we get the motherly response in the chorus:

* Don’t be afraid of the dark
* In your heart
* You’re gonna find a way
* To carry the weight of the world
* On your shoulders
* You’re gonna find a way home

Could it relate to the Virgin Mary?

* Little blue, be my anchor
* Be my light, my compass star
* Be my darkness, be my danger
* Be the strings of my guitar

* Little blue, Little blue, how I love you
* Something strong and something true
* In your arms, so dear and gentle
* There’s a home that leads me back to you
