about

Kat's first song for the Positive Songs Project - a sunny track with bird song recorded in the back yard, and a lush guitar lick. It’s about looking at the world in a new way, maybe while lying on a patch of grass. Recorded and produced at home by Kat Five.

lyrics

Black is the colour
Of wet city streets
Black is the colour
Of the blackbird over me

Singing in the sunshine
With his bright orange beak
Shaking his tail feathers
In time to his beat

Would I stop and look up
If the world weren’t so still
Would I stop and watch you
Sitting up there

Would I stop and look up
If the world weren’t so still
Would I stop and watch you
Sitting up there

Time has shifted
Time for new things
Time has shifted
Time for new things

Time has shifted
Time for new things
Time has shifted
Time for new things

Black is the colour
Of old bricks and bad dreams
Black is the colour
Of the bird perched in the tree

Singing in the sunshine
Calling his Queen
Dancing on a branch
With his feathery sheen

Would I stop and look up
If the world weren’t so still
Would I stop and watch you
Performing up there

Would I stop and look up
If the world weren’t so still
Would I stop and watch you
Performing up there

Time has shifted
After so long
Time has shifted
Hearing new song

Time has shifted
After so long
Time has shifted
Hearing new song

Back is my colour ooh ooh
Black is my colour ooh ooh
Black is my colour ooh ooh
Black is my colour ooh ooh ooh ooh
