This amazing song has touched me all week. Colin always found away inside my emotions and with all the senseless tragedy around us since Sunday, June 12th, his words have such a heightened meaning.
As all his fans painfully know, Colin was tragically taken from us on 26 January 2016. But he left a legacy with such a huge back catalogue of great songs, recorded performances & memories; he was a master of the #LoveSong - whether a high energy rouser or the slowest of #ballads; he had his trademark voice - often described as "silky smooth" or #VelvetVoice; and he was such a lovely bloke who never strayed too far from his roots, just his record companies' demands. Colin never had the wider appreciation & commercial success his talent deserved, but his many dedicated fans know he is a truly great #SingerSongwriter, one of the very best of his (& our) generation. As an #InMemorian #InMemory tribute, I have been pulling together some of Colin's favourites & the fans' - your - favourites, and posting them via #Twitter using the following hashtags: #ColinVearncombe (that unusual name he thought was a cross to bear, now an advantage!) #Black #JustMakingMemories It would be great if you shared your very favourite tracks & videos as part of the tribute. On the #anniversary of his death (26/1/2016) & the anniversary of his beautiful #MemorialService at the #Liverpool Anglican Cathedral (19/2/2016), it would be a fitting tribute for us to share these two videos on your social media: #BlackIsTheColourOfHope (dedicated to Colin by Chris McDonald & Rod Da Rosa) ua-cam.com/video/_f0Lv8jmnI4/v-deo.html #WonderfulLife (the song he fell in & out of love with but was proud of at the end) ua-cam.com/video/TVD9lo2FLLc/v-deo.html As in the song sung so beautifully at Colin's Memorial Service by Chris & Rod: "I just felt so cheated you were taken too soon...tonight a thousand voices will be crying out for you...because you made Black the colour of hope...you keep playing on for us, so we'll keep playing on for you".
Parade Go home Lie down Breathe in Breathe out Be here Look up Feel safe Feel warm As all the stars are free to die All the birds are free to fly Tied to the sky Til all the stars and birds are gone Walk on ,walk on Breathe in , breathe out As all the stars are free to die All the birds are free to fly Tied to the sky We gather up the dreams we need to fly But leave with nothing We leave with nothing Walk on , walk on Be here Lie down Breathe in Breathe out Be here Look up Walk on……
A solitude of pure vocal bliss

As in the song sung so beautifully at Colin's Memorial Service by Chris & Rod:
"I just felt so cheated you were taken too soon...tonight a thousand voices will be crying out for you...because you made Black the colour of hope...you keep playing on for us, so we'll keep playing on for you".
❤❤❤❤❤
But leave with nothing
We leave with nothing
Nails it on those lines...hairs on end!!
Yes John T., you get the feeling Colin was a visionary! What a beautiful song... one of his loveliest!
Parade
Go home
Lie down
Breathe in
Breathe out
Be here
Look up
Feel safe
Feel warm
As all the stars are free to die
All the birds are free to fly
Tied to the sky
Til all the stars and birds are gone
Walk on ,walk on
Breathe in , breathe out
As all the stars are free to die
All the birds are free to fly
Tied to the sky
We gather up the dreams we need to fly
But leave with nothing
We leave with nothing
Walk on , walk on
Be here
Lie down
Breathe in
Breathe out
Be here
Look up
Walk on……
