Cerulean Tears

"Cerulean Tears" is a song performed by Liechtensteinian singer-songwriter Dahlia. Released as the second single from her debut album, Chasing Shadows (2013). Dahlia wrote the song, with Guy Chambers acting as the songs producer. The song is about "a relationship coming to an end, but the love for one another still remaining."

The single was released via Next Generation Records in the United Kingdom on 07 April and debuted at TBR on the singles chart.

Composition
In an interview about the song, Dahlia revealed the song was about "falling in love, and that love remaining even after the relationship has ended." She added: "I suppose in a sense you could say the song is about love, after the love has gone. It's about falling in love with the right person at the wrong time. Falling in love when you're not ready for a relationship yet, and the emotions relating to saying goodbye to someone, when you both still feel powerful emotions towards one another."

The single release included a brand new track recorded by Dahlia as a B-side, titled "Ash In The Air".

Release and reception
On 28 February 2014, an announcement was made that Dahlia would be returning to the UK to release her second single from the album "Chasing Shadows", almost nine months after she released her debut single, "No Angels". Dahlia explained the long wait between singles was as she toured the rest of Europe in order to promote the album.

Digital Spy gave the song a positive review, stating: ''"Every star worries about being a one-hit wonder, but we imagine Dahlia's fears are due to be laid to rest when this painfully sad latest single hits the charts. The singer has chosen 'Cerulean Tears' as the follow-up to her wildly successful debut hit 'No Angels'; and while it has yet to reach the same rocketing peak, the track feels like the natural choice to continue her worldwide outreach.

"We both know it's for the best, That we lay our hearts to rest/But cerulean tears still start to pour, I'll be in your heart forever more," she muses about her heartbroken situation whilst her heart still remains intact, while serving up a tearjerking experience through her powerful piano playing and back-up violin sounds. It's a formula that thrives on Dahlia's angsty tones, with a hallowing voice we still can't quite believe belongs to someone form a country of only 40,000. Whether it performs better than her debut single on the charts is unsure, but it's certainly more than enough to herald Dahlia as an artist to invest in."''
