What Color is the Wind/ charlie landsborough

Inspiring song about a blind child talking with his dad about the colour of the wind and relating it to his life.

WHAT COLOUR IS THE WIND
written and sung by Charlie Landsborough

What colour is the wind, Daddy
Is it yellow, red or blue
When he's playing with my hair, Daddy
Does he do the same to you
When he's dying does his colour fade
Is a gentle breeze a lighter shade
Just like his friend the sea
The wind feels blue to me
-------
When the blackbird starts to sing, Daddy
Do the flowers hear him, too
When he's pouring out his heart, Daddy
Tell me, what do roses do
Do they cast their scent upon the air
And is fragrance just a rose in prayer
Giving thanks to God above
For the blackbird's song of love
-------
CHORUS:
Blow, wind, blow
Wild and free
My Daddy says
You're a lot like me

I know each colour
Its shape and size
I've seen them all
With my Daddy's eyes
-------
I know that grass is green, Daddy
I've touched it with my toes
And snow is purest white, Daddy
I've felt it with my nose
But my favorite colour has to be
The colour of your love for me
And Daddy, I've been told
That love is always gold
-------
REPEAT CHORUS:
My Daddy says
You're a lot like me
What colour is the wind

Thanks, I hoped people would like some songs.

Tim Buckley also had a good voice,, like father like son.

Jeff did more than live up to his father image.
Both died of overdoses sadly.

Tim Buckley - sweet surrender

Oh Laura - Release Me (you'd recognise it from the Saab commercial)





And a dance version

 
Anything by the Beatles - about 300 songs here ... (see how many you remember ;))

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Beatles_songs
Note that clicking on many of those songs takes you to a wikipedia article about the meaning and origin of the song in question :2twocents

This one chosen as William McInnes's fade-out song on Australian Story tonight - what a funny (brilliant) dude ;)
Nowhere Man

Interpretation
When the song first appeared during the 1960s, many of the Beatles youthful fan base interpreted the rather hard-edged lyric, which satirizes the "Nowhere Man" as someone who "just sees what he wants to see" and who "don't know what [he's] missing", as directed against their parents' generation and conformism generally.

Lennon, however, claimed that he himself was the subject of the song. He wrote it after racking his brain in desperation for five hours, trying to come up with another song for Rubber Soul. "I'd actually stopped trying to think of something," he said. "Then I thought of myself as Nowhere Man ”” sitting in his nowhere land."[citation needed] Lennon told Playboy: "I'd spent five hours that morning trying to write a song that was meaningful and good, and I finally gave up and lay down. Then 'Nowhere Man' came, words and music, the whole damn thing as I lay down."[2]
.........
McCartney said of the song: "That was John after a night out, with dawn coming up. I think at that point, he was a bit...wondering where he was going and to be truthful so was I. I was starting to worry about him. "[3]

I will

"I Will" is a song by The Beatles that was released on The Beatles. It was written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and features him on lead vocal, guitar, and "vocal bass". McCartney wrote it for Linda Eastman, his future wife. "I Will" is the first of five songs McCartney wrote for Eastman. (The other four are "Maybe I'm Amazed", " Two of Us", "The Lovely Linda" and "My Love").

Anthology
In the televised documentary "The Beatles Anthology", McCartney, Harrison, and Starr are shown relaxing on a blanket outside. Starr asks McCartney what he wrote in India and McCartney answers, "I Will."

Here In My Room Lyrics (Incubus)

This party is old and uninviting
Participants all in black and white
You enter in full-blown technicolor
Nothing is the same after tonight

If the world would fall apart
In a fiction-worthy wind,
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here

Love is a verb
Here in my room
Yeah love is a verb
Here in my room

You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world as seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim a little,
I'm weary of eyes upon my scars

If the world would fall apart
In a fiction-worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here

Love is a verb
Here in my room
Yeah love is a verb
Here in my room

Pink Tractorbeam into your incision
Head spinning as free as dervishs whirl.
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl
kind of girl...

Here's another along the lines of the Edith Piaf's "No Regrets" :)
Walk & Don t Look Back - Peter Tosh & Mick Jagger

You've Gotta Walk, Don't Look Back

If it's love that you're running from
There is no hiding place
Just your problems, no one else's problems
You just have to face

If you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
Gonna walk and don't look back(2x)
(CHORUS)

Now if your first lover let you down
There's something that can be done
Don't kill your faith in love
Remembering what's become
CHORUS

Places behind you
There to remind you

Now if your first lover let you down
There's something that can be done
Gonna heal your faith in love
Remembering what's been done

CHORUS

(Talking):
How far you been walkin' now
About 100 miles
You still got some more to walk
I know, I got a little more to go
I'm gettin' kind of tired but I got to keep on walkin'
I'm walkin' barefoot
You've got to walk and don't look back
