Hello everybody,

A friend of mine is a painter.
Her paintings inspired me to write this song.

Colour me flowers

Colour me rosy , colour me flaming red, scarlet red
Like a flower, like a flower,
Colour me sunlight, colour me yellow sunlight, the sun
Like sunflowers, sunny flowers

Paint me wild fantasies love, old memories, melodies, reveries

Colour me eyes, colour me blue like the sky, distant skies
Like the skylight, like the skylight
Colour me lips, colour me crimson and dark, lilac shade
Like a sweet wine, like a sweet wine

Paint me wild fantasies love, old memories, melodies, reveries

Colour me ruby, colour me orange, grey, tender wings
Like a robin, like a robin
Colour me tears, colour me tears cried for love, cried for love
After love’s gone, for a love gone

Paint me sunset and dawn, life going on, after love’s gone, a love gone
Paint me wild fantasies love, old memories, melodies, reveries

This is a beautiful song. The video is really nice and production of both the audio and video are excellent. The first note of the solo hits a bit hard but they was the only distraction.

Enjoyed my listen.

I really like the lyrics and melody. And the arrangement and instrument choices too.

Beautiful and haunting.

Also, I did not read the instruments correctly and did not notice the "Atmosphere Angelina". so at first I thought you had run the Dreamy Gtr through an Fx Bus and lowered the original Gtr down to zero leaving only the effects for atmosphere. So you have given me an idea

Hi, Anne-Marie and Robert !


This is simply outstanding !
It is my new A-MR favourite
from now on ! I loved everything
with this production,tune, vocals
and mix ! Just great !:))

Cheers
Dani

Rob, Anne-Marie,

What a beautiful song, the lyrics are so gentle and poetic. It was a real pleasure to sit with my coffee this morning and just let it flow over me. Each clip on the video gave one the ability for thought and reflection.

Thank You.

Hi Anne-Marie and Rob,

Loved the video and equally loved Ann-Marie's singing. This is such an atmospheric composition. The way that words and music have been woven together to create the song-equivalent of an impressionistic painting is very impressive. You've done a great job Anne-Marie!

Rob, the musical backing, its arranging and its mix is, as always, top shelf.

All the best,
Noel

RnAM, This is a great atmospheric piece. The video compliments the high level lyrics, vocals and production. Well done. Tom

Hi Rob & Anne-Marie,

very poetic lyrics. Great vocals and harmonies.
Arrangement and video beauitifully support the atmosphere.
Very enjoyable watch and listen.

Guenter

I love everything about this, the music, the lyrics, the video, the vocals, the whole atmospheric feel it creates. Wow!

Kenny

There is so much synergy with the vocal, the backing tracks and the video. You two
are awesome with that.

The interplay of the colors in the lyric and the video is wonderful.

Lovely.

J&B

Wow ! This is so sweet and well done ! Quality the whole way, and beautiful vocals !

Rob & Anne-Marie
Very pretty arrangement and video. Most enjoyable piece.

Very nice textural mood piece!! Up to your usual high standard. Really like the pad sound. Video works perfectly-some beautiful art there! Really enjoyed it!! Take care. Greg

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for your support.
It was Rob's choice to set the level of the Brent soloist!
When are you going to post a new song, we've always liked your contributions?

Anne-Marie

Omigosh, Anne-Marie... this is SOOOoooo BEAUTIFUL!!

When I first heard the beginning, I thought it was a hammered dulcimer.. and even after listening for several times, I still can't figure out how you accomplished that sound!

This is a good example of the way collaborating with professionals elevates the whole project to a level that is bigger than the sum of its parts... your skill in video making , song writing , mixing etc, combined with Henriette's beautiful visual art really works together very well to create an audio-visual delight!

I loved EVERYTHING about this song...
the repetitions within the lyrics
your beautiful voice
the lyrics themselves
the paintings
the mix
the instrumentation was also a key part of the ethereal quality you managed to create in this song.. the pipes especially

we've said this before, but you should be famous. Please hurry up and get famous! I'm old and I'll be dead soon, and I don't want to miss it when it happens. ;-)

Beautiful song. A very poetic write.

Beautifully performed. Nice arrangement and mix. Nice vocals.

floyd

Awesome song. Beautiful vocal, harmonies and lyric. Stunning video presentation.

Hi Lawrence,

Thanks for your positive comment!
Well editing Brent's guitar in order to achieve such a sound would almost be undoable ...But I can surely recommend The Angelina.vst, which is free by the way.

Anne-Marie

A lovely song perfectly complimented by your production and images.
If you aren`t already, I`m sure you would be swamped with interest if you made videos for other musicians.

Robert

Hi Dani,

Thanks a lot, glad you like it!

Anne-Marie

Thank you Paddy,

We are glad you like it!
I had the instrumental concept of this song lying around for a couple of weeks and from the beginning it was pretty clear that the vocal should be something 'atmospheric'.
Later on we enhanced things a little more by using a Kontakt instrument and the beautiful Angelina vst.
This was also one of those songs of which I thought Anne-Marie should sing entirely on her own, considering her talent for creating dreamy vocals and background vocals.

Rob

Very sweet song, well interpreted.
Great melody and super guitar part with beautiful tone.

Very nice the video.

Sergio

Thank you Noel!

Yes she definitely did a great job here, but she did it before on this one:

GLASS

Rob

It has all been said so all that I can add is loved it

Thank you Tom, much appreciated!

Thank you Guenter!

Thank you Kenny, much appreciated!

Gorgeous!! Wow!! What a composition and beautiful arrangement and production. Also, what a great video!

I loved everything about this one!!

Rob & Anne-Marie,

A beautiful song - great lyrics and outstanding performance as always...

Bob

Thank you Janice and Bud!
And I also appreciate your comments on YouTube!

Thank you Trygve, also for your nice comment on YouTube!

Thank you Peter and Greg!
Your support is always appreciated.

Anne-Marie

Thank you Pat,

No that wasn't a Dulcimer but the (free!) Ample Guitar II, the best acoustic guitar vst out there.
I am more than flattered with your positive comments ;-)
The next song we'll be posting will be something completely different, wait and see.
Not sure if that will make us famous, more 'infamous' we think, ha ha.

Thanks again!

Anne-Marie

Thank you Floyd!

Final "Thank You".. Scott, Robert, Sergio, Mario, David and Bob!

Anne-Marie

Rob and Anne marie,

What an wonderful mix of visuals and song and up to your normal high standards.

I have to say that I have a friend who paints and I was in his gallery and praised a colourful painting leaning against the wall. Saying how it looked like life's journey etc and went on about it for 5 minutes. I didn't notice that he and his wife were laughing. They let me exhaust my critique and then he said "that's the board I wipe my brushes on"

your video is beautiful

Alyn

Well done RnAM! The guitar sounds nice!

Beautifully done Anne Marie!
