True Red - "Blood is Red" (Music Video)
After completing this track, I got to thinking, "it'd be better if there were something to look at while listening to it!" So, I sought out a few royalty free clips and some old Soul Train footage and set it to music. People breaking it down during the more upbeat section, ladies moving a bit slower and freely during the more chill parts. Very simple concept, nothing too adventurous, but it was fun to edit and kind of see the song come to life. I hope you feel it, too!
About this song:
A few months ago, I started tracking instruments for about twenty different songs. Personal life experienced some upheaval, and that came to a halt. Can't play music when you can't think straight.
Happily, last Sunday, 29 March, I sat down on Sunday night and started plinking around on the keyboard and became fixated on this B minor chord going to a D major (A, D, F#), G, and A major.
Put that over a nice rhythm then accented it with a little F# and D and played a sweet little flute riff in D to bring it all together. Pretty simple, pretty minimal, but I really enjoyed how it all worked together. Took a couple of days after that to mix and master it to taste and said, "that'll do. Now share it with the dozen or so folks who will listen!"
It's simple and catchy, but it's a glimmer of hope for me musically, because it tells me there is still music inside me when I thought there was nothing at all.
It's available for download at https://trueredmusic.com under the "Releases" section.
It's also available on Bandcamp at https://truered.bandcamp.com.
It will be streaming on all platforms worldwide on 12 May 2026.
