Marigold

In case you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m kind of odd.

To me, songs are very linked to colors. A while ago (like 3 years) I decided to make several compilations of songs that I felt were roughly the same color. Yes, I know it sounds strange.

May I present: marigold.

1 Matchbox 20 – Shame
2 Norah Jones – Carnival Town
3 Enya – Smaointe
4 Jim Brickman – Sweet Dreams
5 Kenny Chesney – Anything But Mine
6 Foo Fighters – Aurora
7 Hans Zimmer, from Gladiator – Now We Are Free
8 Barenaked Ladies – Light Up My Room
9 Joao Gilberto – La Chica de Ipanema
10 Enya – Afer Ventus
11 The Cranberries – Dreams
12 The Bee Gees – How Deep is Your Love
13 Sting – Fields of Gold
14 The Beatles – In My Life
15 Amos Lee – Colors
16 Stroke 9 – Tail of the Sun

Obviously (ha ha ha) this is imperfect – Dreams and How Deep is Your Love are both more blue-green-teal than marigold, so they really don’t belong here at all; In My Life is totally white; Colors is hard to categorize, for obvious reasons; and Tail of the Sun is a bit more orangey-red than marigold. But I’m happy with it for now.

What have you learned about me and my taste in music from this?

Oh yes. I’m quite odd.

Shadey Time’s

In The old day’s,
it was very
shadey. It is sunny
now. We don’t like
it now. It’s very
very hot      Today I wish
it were old times’

Many thanks to my six-year-old self, who clearly did not understand the proper use of apostrophes but correctly utilized the subjunctive.
