If I matter to you
Then all I would see is indigo
Nothing else I could do
Could ever make you more dear to me and so
Every green, every blue
Every red, orange and ultramarine
I've seen would go indigo for you

Every time when I look
Deep inside me the colors all I see
And my mind is a book
Rainbow painted with stories about me
Photographs that I took
That were once black and white
Would now be free
To be shades of indigo for you

Orange, yellow, green, and malechite
Autorine, light plum, and eggshell white
International klein, blue, maroon
Azure, magenta, midnight blue
Harlequin and heliotrope
Tea time turquoise, teal, and taupe
Amaranth and ivory
Cosmic late tangerine

Orange, yellow, green, and malechite
Autorine, light plum, and eggshell white
International klein, blue, maroon
Azure, magenta, midnight blue
Harlequin and heliotrope
Tea time turquoise, teal, and taupe
Amaranth and ivory
Cosmic late tangerine

If I matter to you
Then all I would see is indigo
Nothing else I could do
Could ever make you more dear to me and so
Every green, every blue
Every pink, black, white, gray,
Adunt mauve and sureve
Beige and ultramarine
I've seen would go indigo for you

    I love this song.

    Just watched an interview where Tom Milsom said its a love song, but from the point of someone with synaesthesia.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
