Leaving the comfortable behind is never easy, especially when you don’t know what to expect in the future. That journey is laid out here in Leonie Persch’s new single, “Code Blue”. While the original inspiration of the song is about a burnt out love, over time it became more about outgrowing something you’re still fighting to be in, even though it’s not worth your time. Persch shares that the song “captures the raw, aching moment when something beautiful stops breathing. Whether it’s love, a dream, or a version of yourself”. She also describes it as trading “the familiar and stable for the unknown, burning old maps to draw new ones”. It is both a goodbye and a beginning, an anthem for the ones finding themselves at crossroads yet accepting the pain to move forward. Persch holds listeners hands on the emotional journey through the emotional conclusions of the past, and the path forward.
There is a quick entrance to the song, jumping listeners right in. Distant synths are introduced for base, along with a pluck guitar with heavy effect adding to the vibe. The white noise gives an excellent punch as well. The drums keep everything consistent and flowing with her vocals. Her lyrical storytelling is beautiful, painting visuals for listeners. The background vox has a long release time as well, aiding to her vocals. Overall, along with the catchy influence, the song comes together as one beautiful story.
