Blue Tomorrows Works Through Heartache With Grace and Humor on Dream Pop Single “Santa Cruz”

Blue Tomorrows strikes a bittersweet note on “Santa Cruz.” Somewhere betwixt the tone of a countrified Marianne Faithfull on “Witches’ Song” and Low doing a Christmas song, the band employs an electronic bass line with a touch of phaser, light, almost shimmery acoustic guitar and vocals processed to sound both tender and otherworldly to great effect. The music video shows snow-laden trees the kind one isn’t likely to find in Santa Cruz, California but the warmly luminous melodies and wistful evocation of more pleasant memories to chase away the heartfelt melancholia paired with this imagery seems fitting. The song ends with our narrator finding a way to laugh again after a period of working through heartache and really feeling those lows as the only path to get through an emotionally rough patch intact.

Blue Tomorrows Savors Heartfelt Romantic Memories in the Wake of Heartache on Dream Pop Single “Colorado”​

​Blue Tomorrows seems to have channeled at once OMD, Feist and late 2000s chillwave on “Colorado.” The pitch-shifting/autotune on the vocals lends an otherworldly quality that in another song might seem gimmicky but there’s something sublimely introspective and transporting about the way the song is composed so that it seems to constantly expand emotionally and tonally before floating in space for several moments in the last part of the song like the artist is savoring a heartfelt romantic memory mixed with some bittersweet sense of loss and yearning and a flicker of hope like the feelings maybe you hold for someone that has really left a positive impression on your psyche even if things didn’t work out in the end the way you had hope. The emotional nuance expressed in the song tonally and in its words reveal a creative and emotional maturity resonates beyond the usual themes of youthful love in pop music. Listen to “Colorado” on YouTube and follow Blue Tomorrows at the links below. Look for the full-length album Weather Forever out December 12, 2025.
