about

Colin Devlin & Blue Élan Records are devastated by the current events in Ukraine. In hopes that we may bring some relief to those most directly affected by this war, we are contributing all revenue from "Déjà Vu (All Over Again)" to Save the Children, through Children's Emergency Fund.

A Message From Colin:

We’re all horrified by what is currently unfolding before our eyes in Ukraine. As a father of two small children it is heartbreaking to watch these images. To see my own children’s faces in the faces of the countless numbers of innocent refugees fleeing from the terror they are currently experiencing, you realize that this is not happening ‘somewhere else’. It’s not abstract, it is very, very real and whether we like it or not, we are all connected one way or another.

As always it is the innocent who suffer the most in war. The mothers, the children. So, we ask ourselves, what can we do? As an artist I can use my voice to create.

"Déjà Vu (All Over Again)," originally written by John Fogerty, is a song that I recorded in December, before this war had begun. Unfortunately, the message in the song is now more timely than ever. It’s a song about the senseless loss of life and how history repeats itself. For the last 70 years we’ve been hearing ‘never again’ but here we are, again.

So Blue Élan Records and I have decided to release it now, in the hope that we can raise some much-needed money for Save The Children. 100% of all revenue, both mine and the record label’s, will be donated. We must stand up to this aggression and do all we can for these poor people who are caught in this nightmare.

"Déjà Vu (All Over Again)" is available exclusively on Bandcamp starting today through March 30th. Please download the song at the link below and help the people of Ukraine during this tragic time.

lyrics

Did you hear 'em talk about it on the radio
Did you try to read the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like déjà vu all over again

Day by day I hear the voices rising
Started with a whisper like it did before
Day by day we count the dead and dying
Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep score

Did you hear 'em talkin' on the radio
Could your eyes believe the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like déjà vu all over again

One by one I see the old ghosts rising
Stumblin' across the shadows
Where the light gets dim
Day after day another Momma's crying
She's lost her precious child
To a war that has no end

Did you hear them talkin’ on the radio
Did you stop to read the writing at the wall
Did that voice inside you say
I've heard it all before
It's like déjà vu all over again
Just like déjà vu all over again
It's like déjà vu all over again

Déjà vu (déjà vu)
Déjà vu (déjà vu)
Oh woah (déjà vu)
(Déjà vu)
Déjà vu
Déjà vu (oh)

Have you still not seen the writing on the wall
