| Both this song and Flight 602 were written by Robert Lamm. You may also recall that he also did an Anti-drug use commercial where he said "(some) of our friends are not around anymore because they were using drugs... we miss them" He was clearly opposed to drug use and for this reason I doubt he would write a song glorifying their use. | |

I don't think it has anything to do with drugs. The first line is the first clue..."Going where the orange sun has never died" Where in the world does this happen? when you are close to the Arctic Circle. The call Sweeden "the land of the midnight sun" There is also another common occurance in that part of the world. Aurora Borealis, the northern lights. for some pictures of what it looks like see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(astronomy) , the line "Burning blue the light" undoubttly refers to these lights which are often blue., but there are alsorts of Fancy Colours. It is interesting that they spelled it "colours" not "Colors" the diffrence between the two is one is British or Canadian. They had another song on Chicago III called "Flight 602". Flight 602 was a flight from New York to Toronto on Mohawk Air Lines. Chances are someone may have taken a trip "Up there" and had a chance to see this phenominon. I think the song is an attempt to capture the emotions in seeing this. |
