Phil Cooper Lyr Req: Trad songs featuring color (36) Lyr Req: Trad songs featuring color 12 Jun 16


My spouse, Susan Urban, and I are developing a UU service based on color, symbolizing someone's sense of independence and style. The song that inspired it was Zoe Mulford's I'm Gonna Wear Red Today. I was thinking of traditional songs that feature color and clothing as statements and had trouble thinking of some. I ruled out Lord Thomas & Lady Margaret (red scarlet robes lady margaret wore never could be mended again) as not on the point we want to make. Also Lang a-growin' is out (made my love a shroud of linen o so fine). Any ideas about songs where the clothing, or colors can symbolize a personal liberation? We are also considering a couple Dave Carter songs (either Disappearing Man or Frank to Valentino). I trust I'm not being too vague on what we're looking for, but any insights will be appreciated.
