The Blue Project is an interactive live concert presented to student bodies at a level they can relate to allowing them to open up to practical life lessons through song.
The Blue Project is based around a song written by Jared entitled “Catch a Glimpse of Blue”. The basis behind this song is a story Jared tells about being out for a walk one day under a particularly overcast sky. As he walked he noticed this awesome break in the clouds exposing the crystal blue sky behind it. He thought to himself, “this sky is that blue every day. It’s just the clouds in front of it that alter our vision of just how blue it is”. Upon this thought he wrote the song relating life to the blue sky in thinking that life can be amazing but you’re bound to get clouds from day to day. The focus needs to be on the blue and everyday we should be striving to “Catch a Glimpse of Blue”.
