Biography

Formerly the leader of Sunday Valley, an energetic roots outfit that made some waves in the early years of the new millennium, Sturgill Simpson gained greater renown as a solo artist, thanks in large part to his muscular 2013 solo debut High Top Mountain. An outlaw country record in form and feel -- its debt to Waylon Jennings clear and unashamed -- High Top Mountain became a word-of-mouth hit in 2013, thereby establishing Simpson's country credentials and opening the door to a wider future. A native of Jackson, Kentucky and raised near Lexington, Simpson has deep southern roots, but he moved out west once he reached his late teens. In 2004, he formed Sunday Valley, receiving a big break when they played Portland, Oregon's Pickathon Festival in 2011. Sturgill went solo in 2012, beginning work on the album that became High Top Mountain, which appeared the following year.

LYRICS

Grey is the color of my world since you left me
On that bright and sunny, orange and mournful day
No more rainbows shining out my window
Like you my skies of blue have gone away
I guess you bought and sold all the silver and the gold
This old world don't seem to shine no more
Yellow, purple, pink, and red have been replaced by lead
Like the foggy hollow that I'm headed for

And all the colors are bleeding
Where's ol' Van Gogh when you need him
I bet you my left ear he can relate
And all the pretty bluе is fading
From the sea of tears I'm wading
And it's causе of you my world's gone grey

Well, some say grey's a better way to live than blue
Not quite black and white but in between
But I've been so down ever since those eyes of brown
Followed white lines back to pines eternal green

And all the colors are bleeding
Where's ol' Van Gogh when you need him
I bet you my left ear he can relate
And all the pretty blue is fading
From the sea of tears I'm wading
And it's cause of you my world's gone grey
And all the pretty blue is fading
From the sea of tears I'm wading
And it's cause of you my world's gone grey
