Given the constant growth in France and abroad, tours follow each other and the band's performances are making an impression at many festivals (Francofolies, Printemps de Bourges, Fnac Live, Festival de Poupet, La Nuit de l'Edre, Free Music Festival...). With nearly 200 shows, Colours in the Street settles down in the French music scene and performs on many prestigious stages such as Paris Olympia (with Puggy), as well as on the other end of the world with already three Asia tours (China, South Korea...).
Multi-instrumentalists, authors, composers and producers, the "Colours" stand out with their singer's unique vocal tone and exceptional songwriting. A rich and complete repertoire with emotional and gathering lyrics, written in French and English, catchy hooks and neat pop, rock and electro tones.
In 2020, the band released its major LP "All The Colours" containing 14 songs, driven by the singles "Aux Etoiles" and "Somebody". The album bursts with colours through catchy and unique pop sounds.

Colours in the Street Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a sit, take a stand like all of them
You're not the only one to find life heavy
You're not the only one without somebody
Lost in the sand
Drops of water might just maybe save a man
I understand
You can do better than the other ones
Surely you're faster when you try to run
If you wanna you can be like anyone
But only you can choose
Stop my heart again, let's play the game
Take a sit, take a stand like all of them
You're not the only one to find life heavy
You're not the only one without somebody
Stop my heart again, let's play the game
Take a sit, take a stand like all of them
You're not the only one to find life heavy
You're not the only one without somebody
Born in December
Born and raised alone like a foreigner
Boys in a choir
Lonely people being lonely together
You can jump higher, maybe to the sun
You can shoot harder than a real gun
If you wanna you can be like anyone
'Cause only you can choose
Stop my heart again, let's play the game
Take a sit, take a stand like all of them
You're not the only one to find life heavy
You're not the only one without somebody
Stop my heart again, let's play the game
Take a sit, take a stand like all of them
You're not the only one to find life heavy
You're not the only one without somebody
And you can be a perfection
But you want something back
You wanna be everything
Don't wanna be a reflection
Someone who's got your back
I wanna feel something
You can be somebody, somebody young and free
And you can come with me
You can be somebody, no matter, somebody
What if you came with me?
Stop my heart again, let's play the game
Take a sit, take a stand like all of them
You're not the only one to find life heavy
You're not the only one without somebody
Stop my heart again, let's play the game
Take a sit, take a stand like all of them
You're not the only one to find life heavy
You're not the only one without somebody

Lost in the sand
Feeling lost and directionless
Drops of water might just maybe save a man

I understand
I empathize with your struggles
Why don't broken people go to Neverland
Why can't those who are hurting escape to a fantasy world where they can be free?
You can do better than the other ones
You have the ability to excel and exceed others
Surely you're faster when you try to run

But only you can choose
Ultimately, it's up to you to make the decisions that shape your life
Born in December
Being born in winter, symbolizing a cold and isolating start to life
Born and raised alone like a foreigner
Growing up feeling like an outsider, isolated from others
Boys in a choir
Finding solace in group activities, even if they are not traditionally associated with one's gender
Lonely people being lonely together
Even those who are surrounded by others may still feel alone
You can jump higher, maybe to the sun
You have endless potential and can achieve great things
You can shoot harder than a real gun
You can accomplish even more than you think if you try
And you can be a perfection
You have the ability to strive for excellence and perfection
But you want something back
You want to receive something in return for your efforts
You wanna be everything
You strive to be the best version of yourself
Don't wanna be a reflection
You don't want to just mimic or mirror others
Someone who's got your back
You desire someone to support and be there for you
I wanna feel something
You want to experience emotion and feel alive
You can be somebody, somebody young and free
You have the potential to be someone who is youthful and unburdened
And you can come with me
Join me on this adventure to discover who we can be
You can be somebody, no matter, somebody
You can be someone of importance and value, regardless of your circumstances
What if you came with me?
What if we explored and experienced life together?

Le live avec France 3 m'avait déjà convaincue mais là, avec le reste du groupe, je suis juste séduite. Elle est géniale, les paroles sont magnifiques. J'ai très très trèèès hâte de la voir en live et d'écouter l'album en entier, ça annonce du très très lourd.
