Serena Ryder's voice is glorious, her smile is infectious, and her songwriting cuts to the heart of how she feels, not letting you escape what's on her mind. Some people are gifted with being able to make their own stories translate to others on a deep emotional level, so that each listener thinks this story is their OWN story. That's how I feel when I listen to Serena's music. A sense of identity.

In her words,

“I’m feeling a lot more on this music than I ever have before. I’m feeling the cold a lot colder and the heat a lot hotter. It’s exciting and terrifying at the same time, because it’s opening my windows a lot wider to the world.”

We've got two pairs of tickets to give away to Serena Ryder's Portland show coming up at the Doug Fir on February 5. So if you live in Portland, or you'll be visiting Portland, this contest's for you. If not, she's touring right now in support of her upcoming album release, is it o.k., so it's o.k. You can still catch her!

Just leave me a comment below telling me what you think the line "your black and white needs a little bit of red" means, and you're entered! I'll choose two winners (that's two PAIRS of tickets, so you each can bring a friend!) and presto! Instant plans for Thursday night. Pretty nice, right?

Serena Ryder - Little Bit Of Red

It makes me smile. I love all the "black and white and red/read all over" jokes :)

i think the black represents the eternity of nothingness we all experience after we die, the white representing the superior "race" on Earth in this time milennia-periodical-Sun-Moon-Calendar, and red representing the epic nosebleed that occurs when making fun of GSP

"Black and white" means that Baby Blue (person being sung about) is stuck in an unadventurous and boring way of life, not taking any chances.

Serena is encouraging this person to get some color ("red") in his life: change, excitement and fire in his life.

It means things need to be shaken up a bit, stop following the straight and narrow and step outside the box :)
