A Word from the Composers
Rebecca Sugar
When asked "What is your thinking behind the song 'What's The Use Of Feeling (Blue)?'"
So the song I was the most excited, that we get to see the Diamonds when they don't know they're being seen, when they think that they're alone. And Blue and Yellow are equals and opposites and they're both still reeling from this loss and I wanted to show the ways that they're dealing with it. Blue is determined to hold on to everything and be affected by everything. And Yellow doesn't want to be affected by anything --- wants to let everything go. I'm interested in exploring how everyone-how everyone's been affected.[1]
The oldest Demo for “What’s the Use of Feeling (Blue)?”
I was so over the moon and so intimidated to write a song for the legendary Patti LuPone, words cannot describe! From here Aivi & Surasshu brought such an incredible otherworldly quality to this song… they helped me compose it at it’s earliest stages. It’s so odd to me now to hear this prototype version with ukulele!
Please you must listen to the final here as well!!!
Thank you so much for watching![2]
Trivia
- This is the first song in the series sung solely by Homeworld Gems.
- This song was first hinted at by Deedee Magno-Hall, saying that she would be singing back-up vocals to Patti LuPone's character, Yellow Diamond.
- Motifs from "Yellow Diamond" and "Blue Diamond" can be heard in the instrumental.
- Yellow Diamond's lyrics reveal that Lapis Lazuli Gems are made to terraform colony worlds, and that Agates like Holly Blue Agate are meant to be terrifying overseers.
- In the Soundcloud release by Aivi & Surasshu, parts of the instrumental, such as the violin, are more prominent than in the episode.
- The official YouTube upload on the Cartoon Network channel is slightly mistitled "What's The Use in Feeling Blue"
