#ThursdayFiveList #ColorfulPictures #ColourfulPictures

This is a second list, very impressionistic, of songs that bring up colorful mental images for me -- often based on personal associations.

1. Chelsea Morning / Joni Mitchell
[I think of those bead curtains that were big in the 60s.]
"Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on the wall
Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal beads to beckon"

2. Good Vibrations / The Beach Boys
"I-I-I I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair"

3. Paisley Park / Prince
[I remember a dress I had with a paisley pattern -- I loved that dress.]
"The girl on the seesaw is laughing
For love is the color this place imparts (Paisley Park)"

4. Coat of Many Colors / Dolly Parton
[When I was a child, I had a book of Bible stories. Each story had on the facing page a full-page, color plate illustration. When I hear this song, I think of the image in the book for the story of Joseph.]
"There were rags of many colors...
Momma sewed the rags together...
As she sewed, she told a story
From The Bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said"

5. Firework / Katy Perry
[I really like this song.]
"Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst"
