"Evocative piano suggests expansive imagery, like ILT stirring crisp jazz chords to life. A sound emanates that threatens structure then abandons the thought forming the root that flows and ebbs throughout Black and White Tango’s inspiring sound. There’s movement within the blend of keys from Jamie, guitar from Scotty and vocals by Tom, as the band tonight a trio, contribute some very different ideas and motifs. Then elements are cut short as tightly wound piano keys ring out. It’s like watching a beautiful, complicated sonic creature evolve before my eyes. The final number a new track has a standout vocal that works well as a hook, something vaguely recognizable for the crowd to hang on to. A way in maybe this one should open sets in future?
Seeing the band in this semi acoustic setting seems to allow, closer inspection of the differing sounds; more time to move through you, the vocals play around the quietest intricate melodies and jazz guitar flourishes. The shifting genre and tempos may bewilder and hinder the new and the uninitiated but there’s no denying even during the most introspective moments everyone listening is rapt with wonder. Questions arise, as questions often do as Black and White Tango respond then pose more of their own challenging you and themselves with each outing."

Purpose
Black And White Tango Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hope and bright opportunities new to me got me elated
Write my self doubt a eulogy grabbing clay just to shape it
Till I feel more in tune to the man I think I'm creating
It's alright if your view of me looks a little bit shaded
I've dealt with it for ages, ain't no choice but to claim it
All my loves keep on losing me to the pit of my anguish
I thought they'd have no use of me I'm removed from my angels
Doing too much, it's only one but need fewer of me
The music is rough
Wait till I fuse with all my muses till its use is shown beautifully
I only seem to be around when people have uses for me
I wonder if my focus on the "I" might reduce what I think
Isolate emotions that I'm failing to use when I think
Pains coming through the nerve of you I removed everything
Couldn't self soothe hand me the juice I'll abuse everything
Finally coming to and terrified I might lose everything
Tired, refusing to sleep
This beast this dog big bad wolf reduced to a sheep
Following steps all of humanity's doomed to repeat
Yeah
Remember what you're here for
Don't forget it
Remember what you're here for,
Yeah
Winning my game but feel like I'm losing again
Why am I looping again
Seeing the same flaw in my action then do it again
Nothing like gaining hope for the future then losing your friends
Singing the same songs and psalms I'm due to repent
Aren't I the cause of my calamity loose in the wind
Some strange tragedy manifest from my hubris and all the focus I choose not to spend
Instead squandered wish I was laundered renewed once again
These wounds are temporary all just a bruise to the skin
All just a cut to the epidermis
I'm hurt for sure and these crowds make me nervous let's cover up I'm reclusive again
Hard to find worth in yourself when you feeling useless again
They told me I'm somebody I ask where's the proof of it then
Thought my path was clear and then it took some unusual bends
Running past the tears I shed remembering Jo Jo and them
Life was speeding fast now I just feel like it's slow-mo again
Gave me perspective to see my loved ones and hold on to them
You'll never doubt how I felt about you as long as you live
Recognizing life ain't really fair but still honor exists
Rhythm was off for me I feel like I'm back on it again
I'm feeling stronger again
Playing wholeheartedly 'cause I finally wanted to win
Feel my ambition helping me reach for what's perfect again
Promise I'll never stop till the day they won't hurt us again
Spirit so close to death in the depths let me surface again
Got to look further within
I got a job to complete I'm seeing my purpose again
I'm seeing my purpose again
I'm seeing my...
The lyrics of "Purpose" by Black And White Tango delve deep into the inner turmoil and struggles of self-discovery and finding one's purpose. The opening lines symbolize the constant battle with oneself, trying to overcome self-doubt and mold oneself into a better version. The reference to being shaded and feeling removed from angels alludes to a sense of isolation and inner conflict that the singer experiences.
The lyrics reflect a narrative of feeling used by others, questioning one's worth and value beyond what others perceive. The mention of only being around when people have uses for the singer highlights a sense of longing for genuine connections and a fear of being disposable. The themes of self-destructive tendencies and the fear of losing everything further emphasize the internal struggles faced by the singer.
The chorus serves as a poignant reminder to the listener to remember their purpose and not lose sight of it, despite the challenges and setbacks faced along the way. The juxtaposition of winning in one aspect but feeling like losing in another captures the complex nature of personal growth and the constant internal battles one faces.
The lyrics conclude with a sense of resilience and determination to rediscover one's purpose and find strength in facing adversities. The journey towards self-acceptance and recognizing one's worth is portrayed through the imagery of running past tears, finding courage in loved ones, and ultimately reclaiming one's sense of purpose. The repeated assertion of seeing one's purpose again signifies a newfound clarity and resolve to continue striving towards personal growth and fulfillment.

Accepting that others may have a less favorable opinion of me
I've dealt with it for ages, ain't no choice but to claim it
Facing criticism and owning up to my flaws
All my loves keep on losing me to the pit of my anguish
My relationships are strained due to my inner turmoil
I thought they'd have no use of me I'm removed from my angels
Believing others have given up on me as I distance myself from positivity
Still it's true, I make it do what it do indubitably
Despite challenges, I find a way to make things work without a doubt
Doing too much, it's only one but need fewer of me
Realizing I need to focus on quality over quantity in my actions
The music is rough
Life's challenges are testing my resilience
Wait till I fuse with all my muses till its use is shown beautifully
Patiently waiting for creativity and inspiration to come together
I only seem to be around when people have uses for me
Feeling unappreciated and used by others
I wonder if my focus on the 'I' might reduce what I think
Questioning if my self-centeredness is limiting my perspective
Isolate emotions that I'm failing to use when I think
Acknowledging my struggle to express and understand my emotions
Pains coming through the nerve of you I removed everything
Feeling emotional pain that stems from distancing myself from others
Couldn't self soothe hand me the juice I'll abuse everything
Turning to harmful behaviors in place of self-care
Finally coming to and terrified I might lose everything
Realizing the consequences of my actions and feeling fearful
Tired, refusing to sleep
Enduring exhaustion but avoiding rest to escape reality
This beast this dog big bad wolf reduced to a sheep
Feeling diminished and vulnerable despite a tough exterior
Following steps all of humanity's doomed to repeat
Recognizing the cyclical nature of human behavior
Remember what you're here for
Reflect on your purpose and stay focused on it
Don't forget it
Keep your objectives in mind at all times
Winning my game but feel like I'm losing again
Despite achievements, I still feel defeated
Why am I looping again
Wondering why I keep repeating the same mistakes
Seeing the same flaw in my action then do it again
Recognizing my faults but struggling to change my behavior
Nothing like gaining hope for the future then losing your friends
Experiencing setbacks just as things start to look up
Singing the same songs and psalms I'm due to repent
Repeating the same patterns and feeling the need for redemption
Aren't I the cause of my calamity loose in the wind
Accepting responsibility for my misfortunes and mistakes
Some strange tragedy manifest from my hubris and all the focus I choose not to spend
Recognizing that my pride and lack of attention led to a disastrous outcome
Instead squandered wish I was laundered renewed once again
Regretting wasted opportunities and longing for a fresh start
These wounds are temporary all just a bruise to the skin
Reassuring oneself that pain and hardships are temporary
All just a cut to the epidermis
Comparing emotional wounds to superficial injuries
I'm hurt for sure and these crowds make me nervous let's cover up I'm reclusive again
Feeling vulnerable and retreating into isolation for protection
Hard to find worth in yourself when you feeling useless again
Struggling to see value in oneself during times of inadequacy
They told me I'm somebody I ask where's the proof of it then
Questioning the validity of compliments and affirmations from others
Thought my path was clear and then it took some unusual bends
Expecting a straightforward journey but encountering unexpected obstacles
Running past the tears I shed remembering Jo Jo and them
Moving forward from past sorrows and memories of loved ones
Life was speeding fast now I just feel like it's slow-mo again
Feeling overwhelmed and slowed down by life's challenges
Gave me perspective to see my loved ones and hold on to them
Finding appreciation for loved ones and cherishing their presence
You'll never doubt how I felt about you as long as you live
Expressing the depth of love and care for someone
Recognizing life ain't really fair but still honor exists
Acknowledging life's injustices while upholding principles of integrity
Rhythm was off for me I feel like I'm back on it again
Regaining balance and finding my stride once more
I'm feeling stronger again
Experiencing renewed strength and resilience
Playing wholeheartedly 'cause I finally wanted to win
Putting in full effort and determination to achieve success
Feel my ambition helping me reach for what's perfect again
Using ambition as a driving force to pursue excellence
Promise I'll never stop till the day they won't hurt us again
Committing to perseverance until a time of peace and safety
Spirit so close to death in the depths let me surface again
Nearing defeat and despair but finding a way to persevere
Got to look further within
Need to introspect and search deeper for understanding
I got a job to complete I'm seeing my purpose again
Realizing the importance of fulfilling one's purpose in life
