Law Blank’s music has been described as sounding like “gunpowder sprinkled on top of decedent ice cream.” Law combines voyeuristically intimate experiences with sublimely honest views of love, loss, redemption, and, on occasion, the darker side of us all within a blend of acoustic pop and traditional singer-songwriter delivery. Law’s entry into songwriting was as awkward as a first kiss gone terribly wrong. It was in 1985 that he purchased his first sampling keyboard (with 1.2 seconds of looping time) creating lo-fi oddities that would help formulate his unique writing approach, as well as his quest to craft a song with actual chords. Over the next 20 years, Law continued to hone his craft, in collaboration with several band incarnations, as well as his current state as a solo artist. Law’s music over the years has been featured on college radio, as well as a live studio recording for NPR’s Homegrown Music with George Graham. Through it all, the constants remain the same: Law is passionate about the craft of writing and performing songs Law is always striving for a new voice; a unique way to express the common and universal topics and emotions we all feel Law is a big game hunter looking for the next killer hook Law currently is working with several co-writers, Steve Kolter, Robert DePriest, Sol Knopf and is working on his upcoming 2009 solo release.

Lyrics
Every Shade of Blue © 2010 Greg Swartzentruber/Law Blank I first saw you in that doorway Backlit in golden mist Each day I dreamed of the night When I'd kiss your crimson lips Spring days spent in lush green valleys Cobalt sky and yellow sun Summer evenings silhouette our figures Life's living color had just begun But now I'm every shade of blue You stole your love away A grey and empty sky where our love once grew Gets darker every day Cuz I'm every shade of blue over you Harvest moon hung low and orange That time at Silver Falls We held each other against the indigo I thought as one we had it all Bridge: Some nights I'd stroke your auburn hair Never knowing your weren't mine Your loving eyes reflected A color I could not define And now I'm every shade of blue You stole your love away A grey and empty sky where our love once grew Gets darker every day Cuz I'm every shade of blue over you It gets darker every day Cuz I'm every shade of blue over you
