Preferably something which isn't pop music.

Indie would be nice.

Rock, electro... Something with feeling

And not the song 'True colours'

Thanks xD

Yellow by Coldplay?



It's Not Easy Being Green by... erm... Kermit the Frog.



The latter has been redone for the EDF London 2012 adverts and has become something of a big success with it's quite haunting new arrangement. They plan to release it at some point this month I believe, if it hasn't been so already.

well personally i do not think that a song about colors would work because not to many people would listen to it but if it is what u want to do then by all means than you can write about it im sure it will turn out great
