In August of 2010, they recorded nine of the songs that they had written in the two years prior, eight of which were released as 'Palindromes'.

4) An Utah area acoustic pop music group. During its ten year career, Colors became popular in the Utah Latter-Day Saint community. All three members write and sing their own original songs. Their first CD, No Time in Particular, was released while still in high school; it quickly sold the first 500 copies ordered. On February 28, 2003, the group performed their final show at Utah Valley State College's McKay Events Center.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Colors' song "I'll Follow You" convey a sentiment of devotion and loyalty towards another person. The repetition of "far away from here" in the beginning of the song suggests a desire to escape from a current situation, but the focus quickly shifts to the central message of the song, which is an expression of the singer's willingness to follow the person they love wherever they may go. This person is someone the singer trusts to lead them away from their current situation, and whom they are devoted to following.

The repeated phrase "give me your hand" emphasizes the idea of physical closeness and a need for tactile connection between the singer and the person they are addressing. The use of the second person point of view ("you") places the focus entirely on the object of the singer's affection and their willingness to do whatever it takes to be with them. The line "all you back my back" is likely a mistranslation, but could be interpreted as a poetic and perhaps nonsensical expression of the connectedness and intimacy desired between the singer and their loved one.
