Topic: PURPLE

Purple
In a cafe we sat
having a coffee and chat
talking `bout music and art
in the back round music played
i told her     close your eyes
and i closed mine
told her to listen
tell me the colours she could see
she said red and blue
i had seen purple!

Re: PURPLE

I like it EB short and sweet and the humour around making a colour while mixing  two colours.  My nephew when he started school came home  and told his Mum they had 32 purples in his class.

Classic

I immediately thought of several scenarios there.

That has the making of  a really good song !
I was playing around with it - I hope you don't mind.

This my thoughts in terms of song

Purple
[C]In a cafe we sat
having a coffee and a [G]chat
[C]talking `bout music and art
as the background soft music [G]played
[C]i told her  to  close your eyes
and then i closed [G]mine
[C]I asked her to tell me the colours
she imagined in her  [G]mind
she said [D] I see red and [C}blue
while I was seeing [G] purple

Great concept her Brian - well done.

ps - every song I've ever written had to have rhyme - this one because of the color scheme
- LOL " Purple" !!!      at first it felt funny - but I actually like this -  it gives such a twist when it doesn't rhyme.

Thanks for opening that door for me !

Re: PURPLE

Hi Brian.
So deep and yes it went over my head but I do think it might make a good song     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

i love what you have done to it,i thought i had missed a trick with the wording.
i had,and you`ve put it right.
sometimes rhymes are predictable and you can see them coming, a bit of mystery
never hurt.
thanks
