about

The lyrics began life as a poem written by Marieluise Niehus and relate to a relationship that ended years before we met. So yes, I've composed a song about somebody I've never met! Every creative person is entitled to their past and their creativity shouldn't be compromised because life moves on.

lyrics

Yellow was the colour of my brightest day,
when we used to dance the night away.
Glowing with love's eternal shine,
like golden stardust on cloud nine.

And a voice inside whispers “Let go! Let it be!”
There will be light, a new day, you'll see.
But the heart says “No, I can't let go, until I know.”

Black is the colour of my deepest night,
when even the moon and the stars seem to hide
in the dust shivering under our feet,
to the rhythm of a lost heartbeat.

And a voice inside whispers “Let go! Let it be!”
There will be light, a new day, you'll see.
But the heart says “No, I can't let go, until I know.”

Blue is the colour of the deepest sea
where love and hope seem to drown endlessly.
Spiralling towards a big black hole
in the darkest night of my lost soul.

And a voice inside whispers “Let go! Let it be!”
There will be light, a new day, you'll see.
But the heart says “No, I can't let go, until I know.”

Why the black has to be,
why the blue between you and me,
why the yellow had to go.

And a voice inside whispers
Let go! Let it be!
There will be light, a new day, you'll see.
But the heart says “No, I can't let go
until I know, until I know, your song.”

Creativity arises at the confluence of experience and personality. I have always hoped that my songs can help people who are stuck ... like I was. People who are lost ... like I was. I understand music to be something that gets beneath the surface and speaks of clarity and authenticity. With the lyrics, I look for metaphors and parables that chime and occasionally gently nudge. I hope you enjoy. ... more
