Colour of Anyhow

'Colour of Anyhow' is the first song on the 1970 GRT album. This photo is the back cover.

Lenny Breau's brilliant and delicate touch graces this simple, yet haunting song.

Musings

The young me is looking out, directly at the world. But either the world is veiled, or I am, somehow.

What a complicated internal and external reality I inhabited then. How difficult is was to just be myself. Years spent being partials ... a bit of me here at this time, a bit of me there at another. Youth. Pain. Yet, still somehow, optimistic and quiet within.

I thank the young me for having the fortitude to see me through to the old me. She knew then. He knows now.

The young me loved this song and it still strikes a chord in the old me, brings tears to my eyes. It takes me on so many journeys every time I hear it. Heart chakra flies right open. Soaring. Old and young me have admired you and your music for all these decades. Thank you. What a gift!

I played this song over and over as a young teenaged girl who felt she didn't fit socially anywhere. Growing up in a small southern Ontario town, feeling like a freak. In "Colours of Anyhow" something about the dialogue between the low voice and the high resonated deep within me: two voices, people, spirits in one. And it was okay. More than okay; it was (and is) beautiful.
