Portugal The Man "Colors" (Acoustic)

Another video from our friend Graham Baclagon. He shot this one at an in-store in Chicago. "Colors" is a new song off our upcoming release "Censored Colors"

Here are the lyrics...

Ahhh Ahh ah
All the needy still need
and all the losers still lose
all the preachers still preach
but they ain't bringin no change

I'm not afraid to die
'cause all these colors will change

All the low is still low
and all the high still get high
how I wish we could dance
but all these rhythms don't seem to match up
seem to match up

I'm not afraid to die
'cause all these colors will change

ohhhh ahhh ohhhh
Ahhhh ahhh ahhhh

Bits and bits of cane, burning burning burning
bit by bit away
they grow as people grow
and glow as people glow

I'm not afraid to die
'cause all these colors will change

i remember when my mom caught me smoking up, and got so pissed..then she heard this song in the background and said "I like this song, I won't tell your dad" and left! thanks PTM. <3

I am in love, from the first time I ever heard of them. The music and vibe you feel from everyone of their songs is amazing. Why isn't THIS what we are hearing in the radio ?

This song makes me want to cry. Not out of happiness or sadness, just due to how beautiful and flawless it is.

@tfunknationtown sure! the hook they use in this song over and over and over again is a direct rip off instant karma's chorus. the chord progression, melody, and rhythm of the melody sounds very similar to imagine in many parts. now i realize everyone has influences and music is built from the past, but this is a pretty blatant rip. they're the new jet! check out their song do you. the chorus sounds like a pixies song to me. where is my mind to be exact.

@biner01 Listened to those songs, and I'm not really seeing how they even compare. Maybe I just watched John Lennons versions... I would be glad to hear an explanation though!

[tfunknationtown]

@hippiekidd69 Good question bud! Their music is absolutely so accesible to all listeners, with enough depth to keep you listening, and enough soul to eat a bucket o' fried chicken with sum greens wit it!

I listen to this band while high. Thumbs me up because that means I'm super awesome.

[InWitheNew]

@erkboi they wanted to have an identity for the band and they figured that a country is a group of people but still a worldly identity. portugal was just the name of the country they decided on and "the man" is to show both that its a person and that hes cool.

@ku420guy hahaha I'm definitely a girl, not a bro :p but thanks, my mom is a sweet lady. Can't wait to be like her ;)

[biner01]

its a mix of imagine and instant karma.. oasis has already done it, better

[jross006]
