the perfect colour

I've always dreamed of singing a great duet with bex. whether it's just a little song in the living room of her house, or in front of a lot of people at a karaoke place, or even in fron of a large audience for a concert (ok scrap that one)

but yeah the main thing is that rebecca has always made me inspired to be better. she has inspired me to write, to create and do all sorts of wonderful things for her.

my art is very visual, usually in words or on paper in a drawing. rebecca's is capturing the spiritual side of things, she can sing to the heart, and capture a spirit in a picture. when we were a much younger couple i wrote a song for her that somewhat goes with this.

"the best cure for blue is the color red"

i've lived a long life with this here blue
it's been dwelling in everything i do
i've been let down, from town to town
and in every place there's a face looking down
a man who laughed at all i had to say
that smirks at me then walks away.

aw, baby i've got a way to end that blue
it's in my blood and it's in yours too.
so why don't you lift your sorry head
cause i'm gonna give you the colour red.

well, we got love and it's ours to keep
this colours strong and it's power's deep
it helps to heal all that hurt and dread
yah, the best cure for blue is the color red

well we mix together and our love's true
i no longer have a need for that blue
cause you've come along and gave me your red
and never once could we have said
our red is weak and are blues are strong
well lookie here i know that'd be wrong

well, we got love and it's ours to keep
this colours strong and it's power's deep
it helps to heal all that hurt and dread
yah, the best cure for blue is the color red
