about

While living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I became very sad in winter. The area was very dry and brown and seemed to have all the colour drained from it. Captain made a little super8 movie to show me that there was colour all around and sometimes all one had to do is look. He wrote a poem to go with the film and I adapted the lyrics and added music.
I cannot express how thankful I am to him for showing me all the colours that never fade.

lyrics

Colour Fade - music by s. fae wiedenhoeft; lyrics by s. fae wiedenhoeft & captain chambers 2007

the little green unfurled and i planted a house
I gave it wind to fly into the green
tell stories i was told
so they may remember

my eyes became blue icicles of far sight
sight far removed borne stellar
the moon above to hold me tight
so dreams can breathe forever

ferns lie low, hiding from the taller ones
i gave birth to my comedy
open wide consume the ghosts of butterflies
and i drank from my tragedy

in the night, i write memoirs and i sell them in your ear
whispering tiding of another banquet
deep in the hollows of hall after after
under brick and red sky of day

in the thread womb of a vest pocket
the yellow swallowed by salvation
orange & green meet elsewhere in a datebook written by the mist
white shudders under strain of dusk

brown digs deeper reaching bird and sky
violet is handing out lullabies for those in need
the blue becomes a catwalk to the clouds
so dreams can be remembered
so dreams can be remembered.
