An independent alternative band formed in 1995 by former members of the underground Gothic/Punk band, The New York Room.
After years of club performances, theatrical, avant garde concerts, bLuE daHLia has created five arresting studio releases and continues to create a hybrid mix of world fusion and adult alternative. Recent comparisons include David Byrne. PJ Harvey, The Decemberists, The Talking Heads, Supreme Beings of Leisure, The Cocteau Twins, the Church, Echo & The Bunnymen, Dead Can Dance, etc...........
In 1999, bLuE daHLia began a decade of visual arts collaboration when they received their first commission from the Sound of Silents Film Festival. Not unlike the Alloy Orchestra and Devil Music Ensemble, bLuE daHLia's work with vintage film eschews the traditional and melodramatic for a modern approach to film scoring, as found in today's independent and major film releases. Using a broad range of instrumentation and style, bLuE daHLia has developed a repertoire of over 11 silent film scores for live performance. Varying in emotional tenor from slapstick romantic comedies to drama and horror, these intricately orchestrated works are forging connections with great films, music, and generations of audiences everywhere.
In the tradition of independent groups creating music for visual media, Blue Dahlia has contributed to composed music soundtracks or penned their own original scores for silent film and independent films including an Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge--CINE Golden Eagle award and official selection at The Palm Beach International Film Festival. Further tracks provided for Londinium Productions film-- Kalamazoo? and various indie shorts, i.e. Abductees among others.
Royal Caribbean, Whirlpool, Cunard Cruise Lines, and The Lincoln Center's Education for the Arts program are among many who have commissioned Blue Dahlia's works for commercial and artistic licensing.

The lyrics to "1995" by Blue Dahlia explore themes of self-discovery and the search for meaning in life. The song is addressed to someone who has left home in order to find themselves, and the singer tells them that they have to live for themselves now. The refrain, "Born 1995 how long will you survive? It's a question we all long for the answers to," speaks to the uncertainty and fear that comes with living in an uncertain world, and the desire to find meaning in our lives.
The repetition of the phrase "it's calling your name" suggests a sense of destiny or fate, as if there is something that the singer needs to discover in order to fulfill their purpose in life. The question of whether "it" is on the other side is left unanswered, leaving the listener to fill in the blanks with their own interpretations. Ultimately, the song encourages the listener to embrace their own journey and take control of their own lives, even in the midst of uncertainty.
Line by Line Meaning
You left home to try and figure it out
You departed from your place of residence to gain clarity about your situation
Im alone those words escape from your mouth
You spoke expressing the idea that one is solitary and unaccompanied
So darling you have got to live for them now
You need to exist for the people or things that have significance to you
Its calling its calling its calling my name
A force or entity is beckoning me repeatedly
Is it on the other side?
I wonder if the goal I seek is on the other end
Hope you like what you'll find
I wish you enjoy what you will discover
Is it on the other?
I wonder if the objective I'm pursuing is located elsewhere
Its calling its calling its calling your name
A force or entity is repeatedly summoning you
Born 1995 how long will you survive?
You were born in the year 1995, and one wonders how long you will live
Its a question we all long
It is an inquiry that all of us ardently yearn to understand
For the answers to
And we seek a resolution to this inquiry
Born 1995 how long will you survive?
You were born in the year 1995, and one wonders how long you will live
Its a question we all long
It is an inquiry that all of us ardently yearn to understand
For the answers to
And we seek a resolution to this inquiry
