Color
Marc-André Dalbavie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let it show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let it show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors




True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow

@marcgibsontube Yes this is pretty amazing. I feel shocked when i heard 95% of my high school mates saying it's a piece of shit, it's not music, etc... I get 19/20 on my exam thanks to Color and i can't stop listening to it.........and I'm a metal head (:

DSS

C'est l'oeuvre de musique ultime, la composition parfaite ! Non j'déconne.

Mathilde Disarbois

Moi qui m'étais promise de travailler toute l'année sur les oeuvres, me voici la veille de mon passage ! Bon courage à tous !

Aude Lavaur

J'aime le caractère dissonant et plein de vide de cette "oeuvre" !! :) ^^

Philippe Heritier

Je ne connaissais pas,mais bonjour le génie Pour moi ça sonne vraiment nouveau. 
Ca fait depuis que j'ai découvert le "mystère de l'instant" de Dutilleux que je n'avais pas pris un tel plaisir à écouter
du contemporain.

Vermine Vermine

En fait Dalbavi c'est comme l'art contemporain, tu peux dire nimp dessus (mais vraiment nimp) si cela tient la route et que tu as la chance d'avoir un bobo dans le jury, ça passe. C'est beau la pensée contemporaine ^^ par contre sur Bach...un peu plus chaud de tricher. Bonne chance à tous ce qui comme moi s y prennent la veille. Merci médiathèque, merci Wikipédia, merci YouTube !

@ChloeeLdn J'ai fais totale impasse sur Mozart. Je suis passé sur Copland, et a part le contexte historique j'avais pas énormément révisé. C'est utile d'apprendre ses cours, mais le plus gros se fait sur le moment, montre que tu peux te débrouiller en écrivant beaucoup et en ne faisant pas de "je sais pas", un bon coup de bluff ca suffit parfois. (Mais, dans le doute, revisez!)

Chiba Sophie Cha

ok ^^ mais tous ceux qui passent dessus sont d'accord pour dire que c'est le plus dur! j'ai failli pleurer quand j'ai reconnu l'oeuvre!

Bruno Pisca

Bravo! Cheers from Brazil

Bien ! Je suis tombée sur Pink Floyd, soit ce que je connaissais le mieux, adorant Pink FLoyd, j'm'en suis bien sortie, mais j'ai un peu raté mon passage à la flute traversiere. Mais en soi c'etait bien ! J'te souhaite bon courage pour ton épreuve !
