Here's a new song based on something that happened to me in Home Depot a couple of weeks ago. Drums, bass, 12 string guitar, mute guitar, piano, banjo and mandolin are from BB, slide guitar from RB. The harpsichord is from my Yamaha MX49, synth is my UltraNova. Guitar overdubs are Strat, Ovation 12 and Rickenbacker 12.

COLORBLIND
Guy in a paint store, holding a can
turning around, looking confused
comes up to me, says I'm looking for silver
the can he's holding is robins egg blue

He asked me for help
there's some things he can't see
it's not that he's stupid
he might be smarter than me

there must be six kinds of silver
it took some time, but I don't mind
I could see he's colorblind
And he says, yes I'm colorblind

There's people out there
you know them too
they're looking for silver
holding robins egg blue
they watch robins egg news
get the robins egg views
tell each other its silver
look for any excuse

they never admit it just take what they find
they won't ever quit it, can't change their mind
Jesus has told them, and the devil has sold them
and now they're all just colorblind
so happy to be colorblind

I wish we could help each other
see the truth beyond the lies
if we just could work together
see through each other's eyes

There's only one truth
if you can see it
there's no reason
to be unkind
we all need help
every now and then
I think we're all just colorblind
maybe we're all just colorblind

Loved the story on this one! Great writing. I also liked the weird synth sound you had in that.

Thanks. I notice all the new alternative tracks have some high squeaky part, so I added one
