30 day music meme

I'm booooooored so let's try this.

1. A song you like with a color in the title
Bob Dylan - Tangled up in blue

Watch on YouTube

Let's just get the old coot out of the way first or I'd spend the rest of this list trying to insert Dylan songs at every point. It's a great song, one that's taken on so many guises in the 45 years since it came out, and this performance is just mesmerizing; Dylan's eyes poking out now and then like laser beams (cocaine is a helluva drug), and the way he attacks every line - "He never did like it all that much, and one day it just went to heeeell!" He wrote his first masterpiece in 1963, his latest in 2020, still on the road, heading for another joint.

Oh god, now you've made me cry. I love that song, but it's so desperately sad...

[petzipellepingo]

Ooops, sorry.

No worries, it's the good kind of crying. :)

Since this type of thing is basically, well, my life, a rainbows worth of songs:

Red Rain - Peter Gabriel
Orange Crush - REM
Mellow Yellow - Donovan
Green Onions - Booker T. & the MGs
Blue Bayou - Roy Orbison
Mood Indigo - Duke Ellington
Ultra Violet - U2

Those are all good too. I'd try to come up with a rainbow's worth myself, but it's hard to top "Mood Indigo."

Yeah, indigo and violet are the tough ones. I basically had one bullet apiece there....

Wheeee, you're doing the thing! I like your commentary. :)
