Roller-coaster Of Colors

I've previously written about what it is like for me to percieve colors as a feeling. Although
I don't think I touched on it's influence with music. These next few tracks I'll *decode* in my own emotional style which will be reflected by the elaborated emotional color chart highlighted in
a 3 part series.

I'll cover one of the most influential emotional tracks to me and why that is the case.

We'll start with this one:

Make 'Em Say (feat. Ev Jones) - Esoterik, Ev Jones

You will only ever have two choices: Love or fear
Choose love and don't ever let fear turn you against your playful heart
Thank you so much, thank you


Yeah, I come alive when you listen
Connect our minds through the rhythm
I'm in that free love zone, there's no price for admission
And I shine in the wisdom of the rhymes that I'm spitting
I rock a mic like a wizard to prove the sky is no limit
And every line that gets written
Describes the life that I'm living
And yes, my tribe's on a mission to bend your mind like a prison
And yes, my rhyme is a blizzard, it defies metaphysics
Shut the blinds of your business and fuck your mind with these lyrics
Uh, look in to my eyes, there's a change about to come
Tidal wave up in my brain, I'll make it rain until it floods
And not the rain that got them naked in the club
I'm talking 'bout the realisation
We can make it if there's love
And if there is, it's all good vibes
Everyone's welcome to have a good time
The future's in my son's eyes
So I pray for change in a major way


And I make 'em say hey (and I make 'em say hey)
Love is real and it's heading your way (said it's heading your way)
How did he do it, yeah that's what they all say (that's what they all say)
When the vibe is right I can do this all day
And I can do this all day long, memories of you and me in the song


Yo, yo, this is it and it's never gonna stop
Wanna know how I'm living, nah I'm Buddha
This that shit that's heavy when it drops
Cause my mind ain't all about the moola
Take a hit of this and levitate with Gods
As I split a philly back in Philla with some buddha
I get it lit and give it everything I got
So I rocked up to this bitch like "booya"
You ain't gonna stop me from rockin'
And poppin' ollies on this mic
That's why I do whatever I like
I drop this hot shit that make the keyboard melt
If you really wanna be free, just be yourself
You gotta follow your dreams, my brother
Stick with it, cause when they come true
They'll wonder how you did it
This planet needs peace so let's make a change
Cause only real love can save the day



And I'll make 'em say hey (make 'em say hey)
Love is real and it's heading your way (said it's heading your way)
How did he do it, yeah that's what they all say
When the vibe is right I can do this all day
And I can do this all day long, memories of you and me in the song
And I'll make 'em say hey (make 'em say, then I'll make 'em say)
Love is real and it's heading your way (oh yeah the love is real)
How did he do it, yeah that's what they all say (is what they all say)
If the vibe is right I can do this all day
All day, all day, all day

Let me break it down for ya
Be like water, be like water
Bruce Lee told me how to be like water
I run my life, I don't need no orders
I'm outside the box, I don't see no borders
Be like water, be like water
Bruce Lee told me how to be like water
I run my life, I don't need no orders
I'm outside the box, I don't see no borders


So, let me count my blessings cause it's not that bad
My mother's upstairs but I still got my dad
With my baby boy running free through nature
My wife, that's my life, she's my queen and saviour (yeah baby)
So when I think I'm feeling down
I set fire to fear and kill the doubt
I vibe with Mother Earth, she turned and said to me
That we're all connected, that this world needs empathy


Hey, hey, hey, hey
And I make 'em say hey (make 'em say hey) (say hey)
Love is real and it's heading your way (said it's heading your way)
How did he do it, yeah that's what they all say (tell me how you do it, tell me how you do it)
If the vibe is right I can do this all day
And I can do this all day long, memories of you and me in the song


These are the emotions inflected by the lyrics for me:
Dark Green - Deepest Closeness // Light Green - Deepest Love
Dark Purple - Belonging To Someone // Light Purple - Closeness/Reflective of Warmth



As difficult as it can be sometimes to listen to certain tracks, due to the emotions they invoke, it is always an adventure to listen to new tracks! Realistically any kind of music is good to me, as long as the colors are right for the mood and timing. Which is why my playlists change so rapidly in genre. I do plan to write more regarding this topic, this is Part 2 of a 3 part series on this topic. The first is Social Colors and Memory Recall.

I'll leave you all with the follow super green track, have a great day and stay safe folks~

You know the deal, head over heels
Hand over heart, so you understand it’s real
And 'cause it’s real, it ain’t always perfect
But we put the effort in because it’s always worth it
I’m so glad I found ya, so glad I found ya (so glad I found ya)
My chief navigator, you know that I’d be lost without ya
So I fill up these pages with things I love about ya
Love to be around ya, arms around ya
How ‘bout when it’s warm, let’s take our towels and hit the sand in the tropics
And when it’s cold, let’s take a stroll, you can put your hands in my pockets
This ain’t no old fashioned love, don’t keep your face in a locket
But I do see it on my phone home screen every time that I lock it
I promise, whatever you need, if you want it you got it, I swear
Speaking on you, that be my favourite topic
I’ve seen your smile a million times, still I have to stop and stare
When this big old world has got me running scared

I remember what you told me
That you’d be there to hold me
Don’t care about the old me
'Cause it’s a new day and to you I’m worth my weight in gold
So listen what I got to say
When I see her, my señorita
She got me feeling this way, oooh
Off the meter, nobody’s sweeter
I’ll spend the day, make her a mixtape
So listen what I got to say
That every day I wake up next to you and make a promise
To be there in your darkest hour when your days are longest
So won’t you take my hand, forget about your problems
Let’s go dance under the cherry blossoms

It’s early morn, we got the curtains drawn
To keep us sheltered from the perfect storm
Right now I’m warm, hold me close inside your arms
It make me feel like I’ll be safe from harm
So if you’re ever feeling down, I hope you play this song
And know my days are so much brighter since you came along
Nice to, nice to know ya, you and I, we’re feeling right at home
Let’s share some public displays of affection and some private jokes
And I don’t know ‘bout you but your love keep on lifting me higher
Breathing you in until you leave me inspired
Then I sing from the rooftops and preach to the choir
All these notes from your secret admirer

So listen what I got to say
When I see her, my señorita
She got me feeling this way, oooh
Off the meter, nobody’s sweeter
I’ll spend the day, make her a mixtape
So listen what I got to say
That every day I wake up next to you and make a promise
To be there in your darkest hour when your days are longest
So won’t you take my hand, forget about your problems
Let’s go dance under the cherry blossoms

And maybe I don’t take the time to say this very often
But the way you put a spring up in my step, ooh baby you my cherry blossom
Lady, you got me floating on air like Mary Poppins
If this big old world ever giving me problems
I remember what you told me
That you’d be there to hold me
Don’t care about the old me
'Cause it’s a new day and to you I’m worth my weight in gold
So remember what I told you
That I’d be there to hold you
Won’t try to change or mould you
To me you’re perfect, worth way more than you could weigh in gold

So listen what I got to say
When I see her, my señorita
She got me feeling this way, oooh
Off the meter, nobody’s sweeter
I’ll spend the day, make her a mixtape
So listen what I got to say
That every day I wake up next to you and make a promise
To be there in your darkest hour when your days are longest
So won’t you take my hand, forget about your problems
Let’s go dance under the cherry blossoms
