La canción que os propongo hoy del Hot 100 americano apela a las emociones.
Y en este sentido, siempre me ha emocionado (como a muchos) la voz de este cantante, natural de Trinidad (Caribe), llamado Billy Ocean.
Más allá de sus grandes éxitos (que alguno he puesto en este ya, amplio hilo), la verdad es que alternó enormes himnos marchosos con baladas extraordinarias.
Una de ellas, que pertenecía a su último álbum con gran aceptación, de 1988, titulado Tear down these walls, fue esta pequeña joya, semidesconocida (porque apenas llegó al 17 en el Hot 100, aunque sí tuvo más eco en la Adult Contemporary-número 2- )
Se titula The colour of love.

Aquí, la letra:

If I had to paint a pictures
To show the world how love can really be
I would use the brightest colours
To create a vision of harmony
It would be a reality
'Cause its only what's inside of my heart
You would see I've always loved you right from the very start

Tell me what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm is it tender when you thing of me
I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true

The colours of the rainbow turn grey whenever you're so far away
It changes like the seasons
You're the reason it happens that way
What you see are colours of emotion
Reflecting what I feel deep inside
Now I'd like to take a look at emotions that you hide

Tell me what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm is it tender when you thing of me
I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true

And oh though many may try to keep us apart
Oh the colours that I see in you will shine a light to see us through
No matter what the world will do I'll always love you Ooh ooh ooh

Oh what is the colour of love oh tell me tell me
Oh I wanna know I wanna know - when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect paining of love forever true
