The Colours You Have

<sub>So I pull the switch the switch
The switch inside my head
And I see black black green and
Brown brown brown brown and
Blue yellow violets red

And suddenly a light
Appears inside my brain
And I think of my ways
I think of my days and
Know that I have changed

It's the colours you have
No need to be sad
It really ain't that bad

It's the colours you have
No need to be sad
You've still got your health

-Grouplove, "Colours"</sub>

Listen to the song here!

I've always like this song. It's a really good song. Grouplove is awesome! I know that everyone knows Grouplove because of Tongue Tied, but don't get me wrong; Tongue Tied is awesome! But Colours is awesome too! And I've always wanted to do a manipulation based on it because it sounds like a really cool story Grouplove is telling. So here it is!

I had a lot of fun making the background. I used a bunch of watercolor paint brushes and just splotched a bunch of random colors all over a white background. Once it was significantly covered, I did "Gaussian blurred" it, then I sharpened it so the colors would pop back out. The result was this background! Of course, it is a little distorted because of the textures, but it was exactly what I wanted! And I got it! Oh, and I should probably say that in the model stock I used, she was wearing shoes, but I didn't want her to be wearing shoes, so I put some feet on her.

Overall, I hope you're happy with the result! I know I am!
