Song Of The Day: Pale Blue – The Past We Leave Behind

Sometimes leaving the past behind can be a difficult thing to do. For a variety of reasons, whether it’s nostalgia or regret, the idea of living in the past or dwelling on it can hold a certain appeal, but moving forward is inevitable and technically speaking, the fact that we experience time in a linear fashion means that whether we like it or not we’re leaving the past behind every second of every day. Science!

Pale Blue addresses this in “The Past We Leave Behind,” the title track of their upcoming debut album (out April 14 on Captured Tracks/2MR). The brainchild of Mike Simonetti, Pale Blue could also be referencing Simonetti literally leaving his past behind by splitting from Italians Do It Better, the label he cofounded, and working on his new project with vocalist Elizabeth Wight.

It’s a solid track, though I’ll refrain from describing it too much since the group’s press release states that “Pale Blue’s philosophy is to keep everything open to collaboration. It does not aim to pigeonhole itself into a genre or any new vistas in music, but instead to a unifying sound produced collectively and harmoniously.” So with that in mind, give it a listen.
