Black Pumas-Colors

This song is amazing. It is a summer concert, an afternoon drive with the windows rolled down, a cold beer on a beach at dusk.

Joanna Preucel

When waiting for an Uber, my wife and I can’t help but continually stare at the black Monopoly car making its way to us. Our addiction is so bad that even though we share a joint account, each of us has our individual phones glued to our faces with any signs of progress triggering our reward centers. By the way, St. Augustine Beach, Florida has few drivers and the ones that do service the beach area are often there because they dropped someone from the town. Expect at least a 20-minute wait on top of 10 minutes of searching for a ride.

On this particular day, we decided to wait for our Uber poolside at the Ebb Tide Bar and Grill. As I sipped my beer, I noticed my thoughts captured by this song floating by. Hope you enjoy.

Colors by Black Pumas

I woke up to the morning sky first
Baby blue just like we rehearsed
When I get up off this ground
I shake leaves back down to the brown, brown, brown, ’til I’m clean
Then I walked where I’d be shaded by the trees by a meadow of green
For about a mile I’m headed to town, town, town, in style

With all my favorite colors
All my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers see them like no other
All my favorite colors
It’s good day to be, a good day for me, a good day to see my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, they see them like no other
All my favorite colors

Now take me to the otherside
Where the baby blues birds fly
In grey clouds, or white walls, or blue skies we gon’ fly, feel alright
Now we gon’ woo ooh woo ooh woo ooh ya
They sound like woo ooh woo ooh woo ooh ya
The least I can say I anticipate a homecome parade as we renegade in the morning

All my favorite colors
All my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers see them like no other
All my favorite colors

All my favorite colors
All my favorite colors, yes ma’am
My sisters and my brothers see ’em like no other
All my favorite colors

It’s good day to be, a good day for me, a good day to see my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, they see them like no other
All my favorite colors
