The story

Functional Color was formed on a cold winter's night in the heart of Toronto, Canada. The founding members, Noah, a brooding tattoo artist with an affinity for the piano, and Madeline, a vivacious redhead who dazzled with her violin, were drawn together by their shared love of music and a mutual desire to express their emotions through it. As the duo evolved into a quartet with the addition of the charismatic bassist, Alex, and the soulful drummer, Victoria, their music also transitioned from intimate acoustic sessions to grand, arena-filling anthems.

The quartet had a humble start, playing in local bars and clubs. Their unique sound, a blend of haunting melodies and poignant lyrics, soon caught the attention of local producers. They released their first self-titled album in 2014, which spawned the hit single "Indigo Tears". While the road to success has been fraught with challenges and trials, Functional Color remains a band true to their roots, delivering genuine, heartfelt performances at every show.

Turquoise Sky

Verse
Am                 G
Underneath the Turquoise Sky,
   F                  C
You and I, we learned to fly.
Am               G
Dreams in hues of red and blue,
   F                 C
In that moment, life was true.

Chorus
Am              G
Turquoise Sky, take me high,
 F                   C
Where the colors never die.
Am            G
In your arms, no alarms,
    F                  C
Just the beating of our hearts.

Verse
Am                  G
Sailing on a sea of green,
   F                    C
In your eyes, I've truly seen.
Am                 G
The world in Technicolor bloom,
 F                    C
Away from grey, away from gloom.

Chorus
Am              G
Turquoise Sky, take me high,
 F                   C
Where the colors never die.
Am            G
In your arms, no alarms,
   F                  C
Just the beating of our hearts.
