Joe Turone - A Simple Shade of You

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I'm laying under the sky
Where vanity glistens and batteries die
What a way to decide
If I wanna listen or I wanna cry
(I think I wanna cry)

{Pre-Chorus 1}
I'm fed by understatements
And shoes that I won't ever fill myself
At best I'm more complacent
I pray no one can tell

{Chorus}
I never liked the sound of the rain in the summer
Why do we always betray one another?
Give me a sigh
But say it aloud
Give me a light and I'll lay on the ground
Life is bargaining game not a drummer
But I can find a beat to escape when I am smothered
Give me a sign
But turn it around
And maybe in time I'll be painting the town
In a colour that's a simple shade of you
A colour that's a simple shade of you

{Verse 2}
If I could stomach the pride
Would there be a hitlist that I'd have to sign
(Upon a dotted line)
What a way to retire
The things that I've witnessed for the sun in my eyes
(I think I'm going blind)

{Pre-Chorus 2}
I'm a guest in product placement
Who blames his woes on names that I can't spell
At best I'm more complacent
I pray no one can tell

{Chorus}
I never liked the sound of the rain in the summer
Why do we always betray one another?
Give me a sigh
But say it aloud
Give me a light and I'll lay on the ground
Life is bargaining game not a drummer
But I can find a beat to escape when I am smothered
Give me a sign
But turn it around
And maybe in time I'll be painting the town
In a colour that's a simple shade of you
A colour that's a simple shade of you

Biography

edit bio

Armed with thought-provoking writing prompts and a plethora of musical influences, Essex-based singer/songwriter and producer Joe Turone combines gentle synth textures and warming guitars into delicate indie-pop ballads. What results is often brimming with the honesty of a folk song and the innocence of a Disney soundtrack. Human is a perfect example of this, a dubious self-assessment narrated from the perspective of a zombie wanting to be human once again.

Crafting music in such a manner became a staple in Joe’s songwriting, and in 2018 birthed his self-produced debut album Getting By. This marked his initial outing as a solo artist whilst showcasing his unique brand of alternative/indie-pop music. To date, the project has accumulated over 140,000 streams.

Joe began to incorporate elements of Indie-Folk into his music on Getting By’s follow-up Into Nowhere, a body of work inspired by the likes of Wilco and Bleachers. It arrived two years later and had its title chosen by fans on social media.

The latest addition to Joe’s growing catalogue comes in the form of his foot-stomping new single “Strong”, a Beatles-esque ballad produced by Linkin Park’s very own Mike Shinoda – which serves as the first offering from Turone’s upcoming third album.
