Song Meaning of “Blue West” by Sun City Girls
Blue West offers a dreamy exploration into finding inner strength and perseverance—even in light of difficulty and challenge. Its hopeful message of resilience is heard in the airy refrains of the chorus which tells the listener to “Hands in pockets, roll with the punches / You’ll find the things that you need, hang in” as an encouragement to keep looking and pushing ahead.
The song’s heartbeat of a drumbeat and gentle brush of acoustic guitar lay a foundation for lead singer Charlie Gocher’s passionate crooning as he reflects on the hope and growth that lies ahead. As the song comes to its climax, the instrumentation builds up with vigorous and solemn electric guitar, bouncing bass, and back-up vocals that echo the lines “We can go everywhere, everything will be alright”, is the promise of unity.
Blue West is a reminder that even when things seem insurmountable and all hope may seem lost, there is still strength in forging ahead and powering through. It is a song of resilience, hope, and uniting together in light of adversity.
