    LYRICS
    I woke up to the morning sky first
    Baby blue just like we rehearsed
    When I get up off this ground
    I shake leaves back down to the brown, brown, brown, 'til I'm clean
    Then I walked where I'd be shaded by the trees by a meadow of green
    For about a mile I'm headed to town, town, town, in style
    With all my favorite colors
    All my favorite colors
    My sisters and my brothers see them like no other
    All my favorite colors
    It's good day to be, a good day for me, a good day to see my favorite colors
    My sisters and my brothers, they see them like no other
    All my favorite colors
    Now take me to the otherside
    Where the baby blues birds fly
    In grey clouds, or white walls, or blue skies we gon' fly, feel alright
    Now we gon' woo ooh woo ooh woo ooh ya
    They sound like woo ooh woo ooh woo ooh ya
    The least I can say I anticipate a homecome parade as we renegade in the morning
    All my favorite colors
    All my favorite colors
    My sisters and my brothers see them like no other
    All my favorite colors
    All my favorite colors
    All my favorite colors, yes ma'am
    My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
    All my favorite colors
    It's good day to be, a good day for me, a good day to see my favorite colors
    My sisters and my brothers, they see them like no other
    All my favorite colors

    Colors is an impossible song not to feel.. you can't listen to it without feeling it and that is something special

    There are no words to describe the magnificence of this song. 'Transcendent' is about as close as I can get. I send links of 'Colors' to family and friends who are feeling overwhelmed or melancholy in these Covid times, and this song NEVER fails to uplift and fortify weary spirits. It's brilliance soothes the soul. Eric, your voice is a gift to this world, a blessing. Beyond amazing! Adrian, your genius shines in this song and throughout the album. We are all so fortunate that you found each other. Please thank your marvelous vocalists and musicians. You are all literally impacting lives by sharing your incredible gifts. With such glorious music, who can give in to despair? Keep it coming. Sincere thanks.

    This luscious song should be called "Layers" instead of "Colors." Agree with another commenter that it's nice to see you guys get jazzed about your own music, especially considering how many times you've played this beautiful piece. Thanks for letting us peak under the circus tent. Rock on.

    I am so thankful, I stopped listening to music years ago because of so hurtful situations in the church! This song and Eric’s voice made me want to hear again! Thank you.

    I used this song for an English class - we were studying and exploring the vocabulary and everything, and now that I got to know every single part of the making of it, I'm like: I NEED ANOTHER WHOLE CLASS TO TALK ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS MASTERPIECE. This is incredible. Thank you for sharing!

    Everything on this song (and with these guys in general) is so masterful. The production, vocal chops, and artistry. Love you Black Pumas

    This breakdown came out as I was playing and singing this song in a party 🎶🎤 my own personal favourite song!!!!!
    That was the right offering for the gods!!!!!

  • @steevmsteevm

    I really appreciate the longer format of this video. It gives you a chance to talk about the song and let us listen to the various parts as you comment on them. Great to hear the back story too.
    Love the track, especially the keys. Getting the final line of the song right doesn't sound easy (nor enviable live ;) ) from where I'm sitting.
    If there's any way to easily balance the song's volume to that of your conversation, it would be much appreciated. The playback is just a little quiet, especially when tracks are muted while you chat. But I'd still rather hear you talk; the to and fro of the conversation is very engaging. I'm just a big fan of these track dissections, and like hearing the individual parts as it appeals to the audio nerd in me.

    I serendipitously found your Colors video on TH-cam one Sunday morning in September 2019, Googled you, and within seconds discovered you were playing in Boston the following week! I was there and I had goosebumps the entire show!!! I am a musician, and love so much amazingly beautiful music, but your music writing, sound, musicality, production, Eric’s vocals!!!!!, it’s the direction mainstream music should return to!! I feel about you guys the same way I did when I heard my first Zeppelin song! I was blown away. I can’t wait to see you live again!

  • @donnamurch724
    @donnamurch724 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You guys are so awesome, I can't stand it. Such beautiful and transcendent music, combined with deep intelligence and humility. Colors is one of my favorite songs of all time, up there with Inner City Blues or I Wish I Would Know How It Feels to Be Free..

    Stumbled happily upon this and love to hear the breakdown of your song . . . and finding out the reason it went straight to my soul the first time I heard it two days ago for the Biden/Harris inauguration . . . That it was composed from a spiritual space ;-)) It had an uplifting spiritual and healing effect on likely everyone , world wide , who was watching the inauguration .. . after the last four years ...especially --- and the trauma that reverberated across the planet from the events of Jan. 6th . I have since had to " get my fix " of your masterpiece song/performance more than a few times per day , here ! and I always get a thrill from the little whistle sound of Eric's beautiful last note. . . . not knowing until now how intentional or difficult it was / is ! So , just know --- it's totally appreciated ;-)
    Happy you all exist . Love your creative genius .

    I hope you guys realize how very important you are to the current state of music today. Actually, check that. I hope you don't realize it. That way, you will just keep doing what you're doing, without that added pressure. I honestly feel that you are helping to save an art form that had just lost it's place. Thanks so much.

    I truly enjoyed the 'in's & 'outs' of this song. I may be biased, as it has been my favourite song from the moment I heard it ( early Feb2020? Hard to say, this year has boggled everyone's mind).
    When a song pulls you in, even before a magnificent voice begins, you know you're on to something good.
