As always I began this song by writing the lyrics, however when it came time to complete the music I tried something new. Firstly I sat with the feelings evoked by the story within the lyrics and then I sat at the piano with those feelings, chose a random key and then just started playing notes that felt right. Listening intently as one section flowed into the next.
Where has all the colour gone? - Lyrics
A flower picked too soon
I was younger once
But I didn't know that then
Left dreaming, heart beating
Stopped at a crossroads
Time travelling in the past
Give all you can
Don't be left lingering
In the prime of life
Like a woman fading
If the clouds are gathering
Leave, what you don’t need
Here today, gone tomorrow
Summer anthem of our youth
Caught in the rush of life
Sun shining bright
Another drink for the road
The one rarely travelled
And stories waiting to be told
Dance your troubles away
In the prime of life
Like a woman fading
If the clouds are gathering
Leave, what you don't need
Lines of shattered tokens
Have nothing much to say
Bring you to your knees
Take all you need
Where has all the colour gone?
White rooms and empty spaces
We're just tracing circles
Howling at the moon
If the clouds are gathering
Leave what you don't need
Leave what you don’t need
