1) The Color: An obscure 1960s garage band found on the CD Back From The Grave Vol.10.
2) The Color: After nearly six years as a solo artist, singer-songwriter Jordan Janzen has reunited with old band-mates and continues to push deeper into the music scene. The new outfit, The Color, has spent the last year in the studio and is set to release their debut self-titled album in March of 2012.
Janzen's music career was originally sparked following a local talent search during his senior year of high school. With a newly formed band, Edge of Iris and the opportunity to tour with Juno Award winning artist Amanda Falk, it seemed the music world was beckoning. But the end of their first Canadian tour also saw the disbanding of Iris.
Janzen continued to pursue a career in music, this time as a solo artist. Part of this journey took him to Toronto for the 'Hollywood' rounds of the sixth season of Canadian Idol in 2008, with his stint ending just short of the 'Top 20'. Encouraged by fellow contestants and Idol staff, and challenged by the level of talent he encountered, Janzen took home a renewed determination to forge ahead in his music career.
After recording and co-producing his debut album, Crazy, with his dad in their home studio later that fall, Janzen went on to nab two Covenant award nominations while his single, "Cinderella" garnered international airplay, helping cement and spread his pop-rock sound across the globe. The high praise also gave Janzen the chance to share the stage with big name acts like Marianna's Trench, Thousand Foot Krutch and Jodi King.
Then, in 2009, a shift in vocation reunited Janzen and former Edge of Iris bandmate James Shiels. After reconnecting over coffee and old memories, the two began writing what would unknowingly become The Color's debut album.
Jordan Janzen Band alumni, Gabe Boschmann, Jordan Banman, Ken Janzen and Tyler Martens also added their musical input to the writing process. With a mosaic of musical backgrounds and a broadened perspective in their full band writing approach, a new sound started to take shape.
With intentions of recording an album but a desire to achieve a more professional sound, it wasn't until Canadian producer and drummer Jay Tooke began pursuing The Color that things were set in motion. Tooke discovered the band while sitting back stage at a Winkler show, and was left stunned by the potential in the young opener's voice as well as the melodic songwriting and catchy riffs.
The Color officially entered the studio in early 2011 to begin recording their debut album, one that producer Tooke calls, "One of the best new rock records to come out in the last ten years." The album reached new heights when Grammy Award winning producer and sound engineer, Howard Willing, offered to mix the album in L.A.. Willing's work on the album led to the opportunity of having it mastered by Rob Vosgien at Capitol Records. The result of Willing and Vosgien's expertise far exceeded anyone's expectations and it was fair to say that the "more professional sound" had been accomplished.
In an industry steeped in easy answers and feel-good refrains, The Color now represents four musicians who've found their voice. Ready to make a mark across the soundscape of pop/rock music, The Color is bringing songs of hope, energy and greater purpose as they seek to bring a little color to the airwaves.
3) South Korean trio formed in the 2000s, presumably disbanded sometime after their debut full album

The Color Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a beggar looking for a place
To lay my weary head
Lost, in the darkness
Never thought that I would see the light of day again
But then, You came running
You broke through the walls I made
Like a hurricane and built me back again
Came rushing in
I saw the whole world stop
Right in front of my eyes
I watched the flood gates burst
Pouring love from the sky
I felt the waters wash over me it was like
The first day of my life
Day of my life
Life
Life
Life
First day of my life
Now, that You found me
I can hold my head up high
And walk with confidence
My God, You are for me
There is nothing that can take me
From Your hand again
No sin, can separate us
You have overcome the world
And You promise You will hold me 'til the end
I believe it
I have fixed my eyes
And I'm not looking back again
I saw the whole world stop
Right in front of my eyes
I watched the flood gates burst
Pouring love from the sky
I felt the waters wash over me it was like
The first day of my life
Day of my life

Pouring love from the sky

The Color's song First Day of My Life delves into the themes of redemption, finding one's purpose and one's way back in the midst of difficulties. In the first verse, the singer describes their past struggles and how they used to wander like a lost person searching for a place of rest, but then the chorus comes in with the introduction of the divine power of the universe in the singer's life. The singer declares that despite their past, light broke through their darkness with the help of a higher power that came running like a hurricane and building them up again.
The chorus further speaks about the power and magnitude of love, how it pours from the sky like floodgates bursting open and washes over the singer like they are experiencing the first day of absolute freedom or a new beginning of sorts. The emotion in the chorus and the choice of words are indicative of the singer's overall experience of salvation, self-acceptance and the journey to living a fulfilling life. In the second verse, the singer further declares that they have found the confidence to walk tall, knowing that there is nothing that can take them away from the divine's guidance, which has the power to overcome all sins and keep them held tightly to the end.
Line by Line Meaning
I used to wander
I used to roam aimlessly with no sense of direction or purpose
Like a beggar looking for a place
Searching desperately for somewhere to call home and belong
To lay my weary head
To find a place of rest and peace after a long and tiresome journey
Lost, in the darkness
Feeling deeply confused and alone without any guidance or hope
Never thought that I would see the light of day again
Feeling so helpless and hopeless that it felt impossible to escape the darkness
But then, You came running
Suddenly, a beacon of hope appeared and helped me through the darkness
You broke through the walls I made
Tearing down the emotional barriers that I had built up to protect myself
Like a hurricane and built me back again
With a powerful force of nature, You rebuilt and restored what was broken in me
In a moment, all the colors I was blinded to
Sudden realization of the beauty and vibrancy in the world that I could not see before
Came rushing in
I was flooded with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and wonder
I saw the whole world stop
In a moment of clarity, the chaos and noise of the world quieted down
Right in front of my eyes
I experienced this profound change firsthand, in my own life
I watched the flood gates burst
Overwhelming emotional release and a sense of being cleansed
Pouring love from the sky
A sense of divine intervention, as if love was being showered from above
I felt the waters wash over me it was like
A sensation of being completely immersed in a transformative experience
The first day of my life
Feeling reborn and renewed, as if starting a new chapter
Now, that You found me
With You by my side, I feel complete and whole
I can hold my head up high
I feel proud and confident to show the world who I am
And walk with confidence
I walk with purpose, knowing that I am exactly where I need to be
My God, You are for me
I have faith in a higher power that supports and guides me
There is nothing that can take me
No obstacle or challenge is too great to overcome with faith on my side
From Your hand again
I trust that You will never let me go, no matter what happens
No sin, can separate us
I believe that forgiveness is always possible and that love is stronger than any wrongdoing
You have overcome the world
I find hope and strength in the fact that You have prevailed against even the toughest of circumstances
And You promise You will hold me 'til the end
I trust that You will be with me through every moment of my life, even until the very end
I believe it
I have faith in Your promises and in the power of love to change lives
I have fixed my eyes
I am focused on the road ahead, with a clear understanding of my purpose
And I'm not looking back again
I choose to move forward, leaving behind any negativity or past failures
Life
The beauty, complexity, and wonder of existence
First day of my life
A powerful experience that fundamentally shifts my perspective and brings a sense of renewal or rebirth
Day
A unit of time and a reminder to cherish each moment
