Ernie Halter has recently become a licensed pilot he released his latest single with Amarrai Cabell Ernie Halter grew up during a short but important technological era – “The Cassette Generation” – with a collection that included the Beatles Abbey Road, Billy Joel’s Glass Houses, and Elton John’s Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. However the very first tape Halter ever bought, was Go-Go’s Beauty and the Beat. Halter recalls, “Belinda Carlisle was a little hottie, and even at 6 years old, I knew this to be true.” Halter also tuned into the FM dial on a regular basis during his childhood, staying glued to the radio as he soaked up all the pop goodness. During his college years, a friend made him a mix tape of Stevie Wonder’s greatest hits, which he played over and over until he knew every note…but we’re getting more .

Blue Dress
Ernie Halter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soft satin hangs to your hips and its cool to the touch
you ain't afraid of getting your dress dirty
Lying on that park grass at night
Dew from the ground collects on our skin
And it feels alright
Girl your making me crazy
Blue Dress, hair in a mess
Girl your making me crazy
I confess, I confess
play my guitar in the dark by the rusty old swingset
Summer fire burns in the air baby you can almost taste it
Blue Dress, hair in a mess
Girl your making me crazy
Blue Dress, hair in a mess
Girl your making me crazy
I confess, I confess
slowly watch it fall to your feet
If I ain't cold tell me why am I shaking
Its amazing to see what you're doing to me
Blue Dress, hair in a mess
Girl your making me crazy
Blue Dress, hair in a mess
Girl your making me crazy
I confess, I confess
Ernie Halter's song "Blue Dress" is a romantic, poetic tribute to a woman whom the singer is passionately infatuated with. The opening lines talk about how he admires the way the blue dress hangs over her body, highlighting her curves, while the soft satin material feels cool to the touch. He then goes on to describe how the woman is not shy or afraid of getting her dress dirty, as they lie together on the park grass at night. The dew from the ground collects on their skin, but it only adds to the sensual atmosphere. The chorus repeats several times throughout the song, emphasizing the effect the woman's blue dress and mussed hair are having on the singer. As the song progresses, he describes further how they spend their time together, sitting by an old rusty swing set, surrounded by the burning fire of a summer night. The final verse describes how he watches the blue dress slowly fall to the woman's feet, and though he is trembling, he is amazed by the effect she has on him.
