about

The title was a spin-off from the title of a collection by the band The Creation, where we reversed the colors

This was another song in the vein of Winter Moon (on Aurora), where we used a large number of instruments in various combinations, for a variety of sounds thoughout the song.
This song was approached with a sense of fun and absurdity, to offset some of the heavier tones somje of the rest of the album was beginning to take on.

lyrics

Purple With Red Flashes
====================

Smells like
A cool night in June
Bread done baking soon
In pajamas watching cartoons
Hair kissed under the moon

Feels like
Ever-shifting sand dune

Handmade for your listening pleasure
All of the sounds weighed and measured

Tastes like:
Warm dessert with ice cream
Polka dots from your dreams
An unpolluted stream
Sugar candy factory steam

Feels like
A smooth that gleams

The sounds for you to weigh and measure
Handmade for your listening pleasure

Looks like
Purple with red flashes
All spaces and dashes
Girls with long lashes
Matchbox car crashes

Handmade for your listening pleasure
All of the sounds weighed and measured

Their music can be generally described as experimental pop, or psychedelic rock, but avoiding cliches of any genre. Serious, funny, abstract or direct, despite the dressing, enjoyment is the focus ... more
