Joy to the World Anyway
Joy to the World Anyway is the new Christmas song from synth-pop band Candy Apple Blue featuring William Rule on lead vocals. We know first hand how hard the holiday season can be for a lot of people. This year has been especially tough on everyone. The composition is a bit melancholy but it truly has an optimistic hopeful spirit. This year we wanted to share with you the healing gift of music. We hope that you enjoy the song as we poured our hearts into it. Joy to the World Anyway is taken from the forthcoming Candy Apple Blue album, Second Sight, and is out now as a two-track holiday single. This digital 45 release contains both the main mix and the instrumental performance mix. Happy Holidays and Season's Greetings from Candy Apple Blue and William Rule! © & ℗ 2020 Mrix Muzik Records

Limited Signature Edition of Powers Activate by Cassette Comeback
Hoyt of Candy Apple Blue discusses the band's release of the Limited Signature Edition of Powers Activate on cassette tape by Cassette Comeback.
This collectible item will be exclusively available on our Bandcamp merch table starting Friday, July 3rd, 2020: https://candyappleblue.bandcamp.com/merch
We worked closely with Tony from Cassette Comeback to bring you a very exclusive and very limited run of Powers Activate on cassette tape.
This special edition 20-Track release includes bonus content that is not available on the Compact Disc version. Including the brand new Juno Dreams 2020 Re-Remix of Let's Dance All Night that is currently only available on this release.
The U-Cards are signed by both of us! We have individually signed each cassette which is also individually numbered. (Numbers: 01/30 all the way through 30/30) So this is a Limited Signature Edition.
Each cassette will include the official "hologram gold foiled" stickers on both the U-Card and the tape itself indicating that this is a genuine SSQ (Single Speed Quality) cassette tape from Cassette Comeback.
These cassettes sound better than any other commercial release. Here's why:
1. They are recorded on brand new, but vintage, cassettes from 1990. We used the Sony UX Type II (CrO2) Position High Bias Extra Uniaxial cassette tape. The tape in these is much better than the Chinese tape that commercial duplicators use.
2. The cassettes are duplicated at Single Speed Quality, not at up to 24x speed like with a duplicator. The high-speed dubbing method done on commercial releases might save time but it does have negative consequences on sound quality. These SSQ tapes, hands down, sound better than commercial releases.
3. The vintage white clamshells are so much cooler than the modern ones and you will have nostalgia for them. They are mini versions of the VHS clamshells that housed your favorite Walt Disney movies growing up. Please note, that these cases are new old stock and can be fragile, so please, handle them with care.
4. The decks they are recorded on are 3-head decks. The Marantz PMD520 3-head decks are some of the finest cassette decks ever made.
5. The decks are calibrated specifically to the tape formulation of the Sony UX Type II cassette.
So in conclusion, classic cassettes, recorded at single speed, on some of the best decks ever made, and that are calibrated to the tape itself are high-quality premium products.
Having our studio album, Powers Activate, take a dive into the analog world is a real treat for us. For the perfect tape saturation sound our music was recorded at the sweet spot of +3db to take the digital "edge" off of the recordings. The songs sound gorgeous transferred over to analog. They say there's nothing like the real thing and they are right. Don't miss out on your chance to own one of these highly collectible cassettes!
There is a purchasing limit of 1 per customer due to their limited availability. This is a true Candy Apple Blue collectible item!
Cassette Comeback (UK & Canada) is the world's No. 1 blank cassette retail website.

Intro Chorus:
Let's turn on the night, We can rendezvous
Let's turn on the night (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Verse Rap 1:
The streets are dark and empty, my throat is tight
There's no one else out here walking but me tonight
And I can feel in the air impending doom
High-resolution movie coming soon
Lead-In 1:
Black and white I dream in film noir
William Holden is my co-star
Chorus:
Let's turn on the night, We can rendezvous (Let's turn on the night)
Let's turn on the night (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

The clock reads half past midnight, I place my bet
In my mind are moving pictures I can't forget
Witness for the Prosecution, From Out of the Past,
Sunset Boulevard, The Face Behind the Mask

Fight or flight I hide the smoking gun
Close the blinds block out the morning sun
(Repeat Chorus)
Lead-In 3:
Black and white I dream in film noir
Marlene Dietrich is my co-star
(Repeat Chorus)
Ad-lib:
The clock reads half past midnight, I place my bet
In my mind are moving pictures I can't forget
The streets are dark and empty, my throat is tight
There's no one else out here walking but me tonight
Come on and turn me on, before the night is gone
I wanna feel your body tremble for me
Come on and turn me on, before the night is gone
I wanna feel your body tremble for me
I wanna see you turn it on!

The Story Behind the Making of the Music Video for Taking It to Heart
The story behind the making of the music video for Taking It to Heart.
The music video was shot and edited during the onset of the Coronavirus outbreak. At first, we were at odds with putting out a new song during this difficult international crisis. We sought out the opinion of the people in our inner circle and they all told us that it was a tasteful decision to release it. Together we ultimately decided to put out our new song because we felt it had a nice calming and relaxing vibe to it.
We knew that the song would fair better with a proper music video. However, social distancing was now being advised by our nation. So that put us in a tough spot. We came up with the idea that Apollo Rogers could film the segments in Canton, Ohio on his end and we could edit them together here on our end here in Pittsburgh, PA. It would keep us all artistically busy if only for a little while.
The end result (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps0DXBHhFIs) became an abstract sort of statement about emotional healing, alternative medicine, physical fitness, and mental well being. Here are some of the raw video clips that we used to make the magic happen. These clips are set to the beautiful a cappella version of Taking It to Heart sung by Apollo with so much heart.
Stay safe, Candy Apple Blue

Words & Music by Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick
Verse 1:
Can you tell me where to go when the road comes to an end?
Cause you told me that it's over, as the highway twists and bends
If only I knew how to lie, then at least I'd have a choice
But the truth is masquerading in the silence of my voice
Lead-In 1:
And I feel just a little bit lost as we suddenly drift apart
Cause you can't take back the words you said so I'm taking it to heart
I'm taking it to heart, you better believe that I'm taking it to heart
Chorus (Middle 8 Section):
Cause all the promises have been broken
I've been brutally awakened by your heartless and your cold goodbye
I was planning for eternal bliss, been deceived by your wicked kiss
You can tell me that you never meant to hurt me as I'm breaking apart
But ooh ooh, I'm taking it to heart, I said ooh, I'm taking it to heart
Lead-In 2:
You said that the two of us are over and you're gonna make a brand new start
No, you can't, take back the words you said so I'm taking it to heart
I'm taking it to heart, you better believe that I'm taking it to heart
(Repeat Chorus)
Ad-lib:
Taking it, taking it to heart now,
I've learned my lesson and I'm moving on right now
Taking it to heart, taking it to heart, taking it to heart
No, you can't take it back
Ending:
ooh ooh, I'm taking it to heart, I said ooh, I'm taking it to heart
