“There Must Be So Much More” by Pink Turns Blue - A Song Feature


     The single begins with a hook that is the functional equivalent of fanfare, as it announces the entrance of a song that is regal in its role as a swirling, surly anthem. “There Must Be So Much More” is a warning to avoid complacency and promotional materials note that it is an urgent call to refine oneself and make the world a better place. But to listeners, it is so much more.

     The song from Germany’s Pink Turns Blue is a reminder of why the guitar (bass and lead) will always rule the Rock universe. “There Must Be So Much More” isn’t a guitar-driven single until its final 75 seconds, but the instrument is the feature that sets the song apart from others that are destined to be in “Best or 2021” setlists at the end of this year. The hook that begins the single resurfaces periodically, including during the guitar-layered conclusion.

     Still, there is so much more. The vocals are appealing and the piano that initiates the bridge at 2:37 is attention-grabbing. Pink Turns Blue are from Germany and have a sound that is a fusion of New Wave, Post-Punk and Dark Guitar Wave. The members are Mic Jogwer (vocals, guitar), Reubi Walter (bass, keyboards), and Paul Richter (drums). The band’s first album was released in 1987.

Lyrics of “There Must Be So Much More” by Pink Turns Blue
Your smile can cure me
Your kiss can heal me
So give it a try now
Come on
 
You wanna be careful
It’s so important
Ya need be friends again
With you
 
So stop being cross now
And stop all fighting
Been sad for so long now
So long
 
We need to have faith in us
We need to be good to us
Cause love is so precious
To me
 
There must be so much more
There must be so much more
 
So clear with hindsight
So easy inside
But often we’re sorry
Again
 
Do better next time
If there’s a next time
We catch our fall
So come on
 
There must be so much more
So much more
There must be so much more
So much more
There must be so much more
 
You’ve caught me all naked
You’ve caught me all naked
[Repeating]
There must be so much more
[Repeating]
