Sampled Vocal Hook

LyricsShow lyrics

Color Me Lonely by Vowl Sounds
*Main sample is from “Madonna of the Wasps” by Robyn Hitchcock
Verse backing vocals from “I Wanna Sex You Up” by Color Me Badd
Sneaky cameo from “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode
Chorus backing vocals from the first ever Vowl Sounds song, ”Et in Arcadia Ego”
Bird vocals from multiple whippoorwills*

Note: These lyrics tell the story of our Diss Subject from the previous round, as she starts to worry about the renewed friendship between her Ouija-obsessed husband and his old flame...

My true love, in the first hours of the dawn,
Rolls over to check his telephone
And in bed, in the last minutes before sleep
He's texting as I slip off into my dreams

Old friends are nothing to worry about
But I feel like I'm fading slowly out of sight
His best friend's so witty and even I can see
that he'd be better off with someone cleverer than me

And I ask myself:
(Is this love? Is this love?)

Color me white as the falling snow
Color me dark as the churning sea
Color me lonely as the whippoorwill calling endlessly

What am I but a dream in the shape of a wife?
What he always wanted to keep him warm at night
Sweet comfort to sip at that stays stable on the shelf
His head lies on my breast while his mind lies somewhere else

And I ask myself…

Color me blue as a bowerbird's eye
Color me bright as a firefly
Color me lonely as the whippoorwill with her haunted cry
Color me red as the velvet rose
Color me silver as the moonlit sea
Color me anything that brings your far-off gaze to fall back on me

And Robyn sings into my headphones
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?

All bonny, bonny sang the morning thrush
From where she sat perched in yonder bramble bush
My love, sit by and listen to her sing:
"I never wanted much; all I ever wanted was him"

Color me black as the dead of night
Color me yellow as the candlelight
Color me lonely as the whippoorwill in her yearning flight
Color me gold as the morning sun
Color me green as the willow trees
Color me anything that brings your far-off gaze to fall back on me

And Robyn sings into my headphones
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?
Is this love?

this was the last of FOUR ideas we came up with for this round, and I struggled with it for a while (think I was Very Tired while working on it which didn't help) but the more STUFF we added the more I liked it, and now that it's finished I'm really happy with it.
