He started to play piano after his parents set up a lesson with a piano teacher who he said to be "a laid-back New Jersey wedding singer". From there, Miller started to develop singing and writing songs. During his high school, he started a pop-punk band. When he was 18 years old, Tor Miller went to New York University, specifically Clive Davis School of Recorded Music. He also spent his weekends playing piano at places such as Rockwood Music Hall, The Bitter End, and the burlesque bar, Slipper Room in the East Village.
Miller was signed to the independent label, Glassnote Records in early 2014 and subsequently dropped out from NYU due to scheduling problems (especially since he played music in a number of NYC venues). His first debut EP, Headlights EP, containing four songs that includes the positively reviewed "Midnight" was released in February 2015.
Baby Blue
Tor Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never really had a brain of my own
Back then I had an ego
thinkin' that the world was so damn small
and it's like
the lawn's on fire
like
the fumes might get me high
what should I do?
well, I feel so lost
without you
and I'm deaf; dumb; blinded; out of touch
your eyes got so big
who can I trust?
And I feel so far from your side
and when I look up
I start to cry
you're a darker hue
my baby blue
and I've re-read the same page
never comprehending what the words have to say
I'm always on the next stage
livin' for a moment that never comes my way
and it's like
my numbers retired
like
we always knew our lines
baby blue,
what should I do?
well, I feel so lost
without you
and I'm deaf; dumb; blinded; out of touch
your eyes got so big
who can I trust?
And I feel so far from your side
and when I look up
I start to cry
you're a darker hue
baby blue,
what should I do?
well, I feel so lost
without you
I'm deaf; dumb; blinded; out of touch
your eyes got so big
who can I trust?
and I feel so far from your side
and when I look up
I start to cry
you're a darker hue
my baby blue
you're a darker hue
my baby blue
The lyrics to Tor Miller's song "Baby Blue" tell the story of a young man who has left home and is struggling to find his way in the world. He reflects on his past, acknowledging that he never had his own thoughts and ideas but rather relied on his ego to navigate life. The image of a burning lawn that greets him upon leaving home serves as a metaphor for the chaos and confusion he is experiencing. He feels lost and out of touch without his partner, referred to as "baby blue", and is plagued by unanswered questions of trust and confusion. He finds himself unable to concentrate on anything and is constantly reaching for something that he never seems to grasp.
The imagery throughout "Baby Blue" is vivid and evocative – from the burning lawn to the large, untrusting eyes of his partner. Tor Miller's lyrics tap into the universal human experience of feeling lost and searching for meaning. Despite the sadness and uncertainty that permeates the song, the refrain gently reassures us with the repetition of the phrase "my baby blue" and the tender, almost plaintive quality of Tor Miller's voice. Ultimately, "Baby Blue" is a reminder that we all feel lost sometimes, but we can find comfort in knowing that we are not alone.

I left home about a week ago
I never really had a brain of my own
Back then I had an ego
Thinking that the world was so damn small
And it's like the lawn is on fire
Like the fumes might get me high
And baby blue, what should I do?
Will I feel so lost without you?
And I'm deaf, dumb, blind and out of touch
Your eyes got so big
Who can I trust?
And I feel so far from your side
And when I look up I start to cry
You're a darker hue
My baby blue
And I've re-read the same page
Never comprehending what the words have to say
I'm always on the next stage
Living for a moment that never comes my way
And it's like my number is retired
Like we always knew our lines
And baby blue, what should I do?
Will I feel so lost without you?
And I'm deaf, dumb, blind and out of touch
Your eyes got so big

You're a darker hue
My baby blue
You're a darker hue
My baby blue
