Denna vecka handlar det om låtar som har med konst och hantverk att göra, i artistnamn, låttitel eller låttext. Om du har egna låtar på temat, skicka dem gärna till mig så lägger jag till i spellistan här
Tori Amos – ”16 Shades Of Blue” (2014)
Tori Amos sjunger om att åldras, från många olika perspektiv. När hon skrev sången hade hon just fyllt 50.
Hon har sagt om sången (Songfacts) :
”The song ’16 Shades of Blue’ talks about aging from many points of view. And as I started to dive into it, I started to learn from women of all ages that age was a difficult thing for them – whether you’re talking to a 15-year-old who feels pressure to choose their career path for life or a 33-year-old who fears she won’t get the promotion if it is known that she is planning a family. They all felt the pressures in the aging process.”
Sedan har vi ju Paul Cezanne här också som just var känd för att ha 16 olika nyanser av blå i sin färgpalett.
“Are you telling me it’s over disintegrating lost and there’s nothing I can do
Before you drop another verbal bomb, can I arm myself
With Cezanne’s 16 shades of blue
As my heart is slowly ripping into pieces
Disconnecting from the circuits of my mind
You’ll get over it you say in time
In time?
If the clocks are black absorbing everything but
A remembering how we made it that
Clocks are black”
