Green Is The Colour
Pink Floyd · Soundtrack From The Film More [1969]
Shade my eyes and I can see you
White is the light that shines through the dress that you wore
She lay in the shadow of the wave
Hazy were the visions of her playing
Sunlight on her eyes but moonshine made her cry ev'ry time
Green is the colour of her kind
Quickness of the eye deceives the mind
Envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned
Green Is The Colour
Recorded in 1969, "Green Is The Colour" stands as a pivotal track from Pink Floyd's early film soundtrack work, specifically the album *Soundtrack From The Film More*. This recording captures the band's transition from psychedelic rock pioneers to composers capable of crafting atmospheric, narrative-driven scores. The piece exemplifies the group's signature use of synthesizers and layered vocals to evoke a sense of melancholy and introspection, themes that would later define their studio albums like *The Dark Side of the Moon* and *The Wall*. While often overshadowed by their later cinematic and studio releases, the song remains a testament to the band's early experimentation with soundscapes and their ability to translate emotional depth into music that resonates across generations.
