If the color's bad No need to be sad. It really ain't that bad.

Lollapalooza Edition
Artist- Grouplove
Song of the day- Colours

I plan on starting off my Saturday morning at Lollapalooza with a little Grouplove. Though the video is slightly disturbing there is something youthful and funloving about today's song. It's wrapped up in intense emotion and energy that makes you want to embrace life even when you don't want to. It's when you feel down and out but there's a light inside your head, that logic that tells you it's really not as bad as you think it feels. I sometimes think it's my damn logic that keeps me from running completely mad and makes me often debate if I'm the better or worse for it. I suppose it's finding that balance of logic and madness that makes us adults and not the little lost boys in the video. But to all the little lost boys running mad inside of you, this one's for you.



I am a man, man, man, man
Up, up in the air
And I run around, round, round, round this down town and act like I don't care.
So when you see me flying by the planet's moon,
You don't need to explain if everything's changed
Just know I'm just like you.

Huh.
Ha, (x4)

So I pull the switch, the switch, the switch inside my head.
And I see black, black, green,and brown, brown, brown and blue, yellow, violets, red.
And suddenly a light appears inside my brain
And I think of my ways, I think of my days and know that I have changed.

If the color's (bad?)
No need to be sad.
It really ain't that bad.

If the color's (bad?)
No need to be sad.
You've still got your (hand?)

So Mistress, Mistress have you been up to the roof?
He shot himself, self
There's blood on the wall
'Cause he couldn't face the truth.

Oh, knock that down, leave the ground and find some space
And tell your friends, friends,
You'll be back again, gain
Before it's too late.

If the color's (bad?)
No need to be sad.
It really ain't that bad.

Oooooooooh, If the color's (bad?)
No need to be sad.
It really ain't that bad

If the color's (bad?)
No need to be sad.
You've still got your (hands?)


So I am a man, man, man, man
Up, up in the air
And I float around, 'round, 'round this downtown
And know I shouldn't care.
So when you see us there out in the open road
You don't need to explain
If everything's changed
Just know that you don't know.

We call it... (Life?)
Oh yeah, that's what we call it.
We can't call it at all.
We call it... (Life?)
Oh yeah, that's what we call it.
When you can't call it at all.
Yeah, We call it (Life?)
Oh yeah that's what we call it.
(OOOOOOOOOOhhhhh)
We do it for... (sweet love?)
