Alcuni esempi sono:
JOHN LENNON- IMAGINE
LED ZEPPELIN-SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU
Questo denota quando il colore sia importante non solo come fenomeno percepito dagli organi della vista, ma anche come stimolatore degli altri quattro sensi, e in grado di influenzare le emozioni e i processi cognitivi e comportamentali.
In questo post cercherò di proporre il mio colore Grigio tè verde all'interno di alcune canzoni provenienti da diversi indirizzi musicali, dal rock al folk sino ad arrivare al pop e al classico. Come già è facile intuire, il colore così come mi è stato proposto non è esattamente presente nei testi musicali, pur cui, così come ho fatto precedentemente, nel post dedicato alla mitologia, presenterò parti di testi di canzoni contenenti uno o più elementi che lo compongono.

- "PENNYROYAL TEA"- Nirvana

NIRVANA LYRICS - Pennyroyal Tea
Green grow the rushes go, green grow the rushes go
- "GREEN GROW THE RUSHES"- R.E.M.,
Green grow the rushes go, green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go, the compass points the workers home
Pay for your freedom
Or find another gate
Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago
Guilt as you go
The sky is grey, the sand is grey, and the ocean is grey. I feel right at
Home in this stunning monochrome, alone in my way. I smoke and I drink and
Every time I blink I have a tiny dream. But as bad as I am I'm proud of the
Fact that I'm worse than I seem. What kind of paradise am i looking for? I've
Got everything I want and still I want more. Maybe some tiny shiny thing will
Wash up on the shore. You walk through my walls like a ghost on tv. You
Penetrate me and my little pink heart is on its little brown raft floating out
To sea. And what can I say but I'm wired this way and you're wired to me, and
What can I do but wallow in you unintentionally? what kind of paradise am I
Looking for? I've got everythingI want and still I want more. Maybe some tiny
Shiny key will wash up on the shore. Regretfully, I guess I've got three
Simple things to say. why me? why this now? why this way? overtone's ringing,
Undertow's pulling away under a sky that is grey on sand that is grey by an
Ocean that's grey. what kind of paradise am I looking for? I've got everything
I want and still I want more. Maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the
Shore.
You could do it for the money, money, money
But the money makes them all the same
Everything's sunny
But the sunshine fades away
Everything's black
And white
No grey.

Mi ricordo montagne verdi, e le corse di una bambina,
Con l'amico mio più sincero, un coniglio dal muso nero,
Poi un giorno mi prese il treno, l'erba, il prato e quello che era mio,
Scomparivano piano, piano e piangendo parlai con Dio. [...]
Born with the moon in Cancer
Choose her a name she will answer to
Call her green and the winters cannot fade her
Call her green for the children who've made her
Little green, be a gypsy dancer

Pour boiling water over the tea
How simple and clear can the instructions be?
They bring you a cup with a lemon slice
And an unopened tea bag beside it (how nice)
And a pot of water and it may be hot
But boiling it isn't so tea you have not
It's boiling water that brings out tea's flavor
With a dash of milk you've a real brew to savor
They drink luke brown water that looks like gnat pee
And it's got nothing to do with a good cup of tea

- "LADY GRAY"- Katzenjammer
[...]
Lady Gray, you tell a smile
What is your secret, what's your lie?
You lived a long, hard life
Your memory may fade, but you're still wise
I wonder where you've been
What you've accomplished, what you've seen
In such a long, hard life
Did you ever dance, were you someone's wife?
[...]
- "THE GREY"- Icon for hire
[...]
How cold have I become?
I didn't want to
Lose you by what I'd done
Caught in the grey
It burns for a moment but
But then it numbs you
Takes you and leaves you just
Caught in the grey( You tell me)

POP:
- "EVERYTHING STOPS FOR TEA"- Jack Buchanan

Oh, a lawyer in the courtroom
In the middle on an alimony plea
Has to stop and help'em pour when the clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea

You remember Cleopatra
Had a date to meet Mark Anthony at three
When he came an hour late she said "you'll have to wait"
For everything stops for tea

- "GREY MONDAY"- Imany
Hey, turn on the lights
Let us see the rain and clouds
Morning has turned into night, into night, into night
It's over from your arms
That I watch
The big white sky
Grey Monday, lazy sight, lazy sight, lazy sight

Well I've been here before
Sat on the floor in a grey grey room

Ci vuole più verde
Troppe strade troppe case
La gente vuole erba,

Casa mia ha così tante piante
Che ti senti all'aria aperta all'aria aperta

In contrasto coi graffiti su ogni muro di Milano(hm yeah)

- "DA ABBINARE CON UN MONDO GRIGIO"- Dutch Nazari
[...]
Vedo in maniera così limpida
Anche al timido Baglio di una luce fioca
Improvviso qualche nota
Viaggio con i pensieri
Su un treno dei desideri coi graffiti sopra
Con un bagaglio a mano pieno di vestiti colorati da abbinare con un mondo grigio
Di certo non sono un esperto di look, no
Ma tanto il grigio sta bene con tutto
