I recently chanced again on this song by Britain Pop Idol Winner Darius Danesh and instantly got hooked to it again. The song (aptly titled Colourblind) was released in 2002 and instantly became a number 1 hit in the UK. I distinctly remember this song being used by the clothing brand PENSHOPPE for one of their earlier ads. I was instantly glued to the song by its catchy tune and playful use of different colors in the lyrics.
I have to agree with the song that being COLORBLIND is not a handicap or a defect rather it is an explosion of emotions brought about by different hues and shades of your own feelings.
Definitely, I am appreciating this song more and more each day.
Colourblind
Darius Danesh
Feelin’ blue, while I’m trying to forget the feeling that I miss you
Feelin’ green, when the jealousy swells and it wont go away in dreams
Feelin’ yellow, I’m confused inside
A little hazy but mellow when I feel your eyes on me
Feelin’ fine! Sublime!
When that smile of yours creeps into my mind
Nobody told me you’d feel so good
Nobody said you’d be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You’re the light, you’re the light
When I close my eyes
I’m colour blind
You make me colour blind
Feelin’ red, when you spend all your time with your friends
and not me instead
Feelin’ black, when I think about all the things that I feel I lack
Feelin’ jaded, when it’s not gone right
All the colours have faded, then I feel your eyes on me
Feelin’ fine! Sublime!
When that smile of yours creeps into my mind
Nobody told me you’d feel so good
Nobody said you’d be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You’re the light, you’re the light
When I close my eyes
I’m colour blind
You make me colour blind
Blinded by the light you shine, the colours fade completely
Blinded by you every time, I feel your smile defeat me
I’m colour blind
I just cant deny this feeling
Nobody told me you’d feel so good
Nobody said you’d be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You’re the light, you’re the light
When I close my eyes
I’m colour blind
You make me colour blind
