Green Is the Colour (from More)

David Gilmour, Roger Waters, More, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, The Beginning

It is a song by Roger Waters. A tin whistle is heard in the song, played by drummer Nick Mason‘s then-wife Lindy.

Live arrangements of the song were performed as a full electric band piece and at a slower tempo. Richard Wright built a calm sheen of warbling organ sound throughout, which created a more natural segue into the piece that always immediately followed it, “Careful with That Axe, Eugene“. David Gilmour also sang a scat vocal over his guitar solo during the outro. In a live intro to the song from 1970, Roger Waters states that the song is “about being on Ibiza” the setting of the film, More.

In The Man and The Journey suite, the song was retitled “The Beginning” in “The Journey” half of the show. It was played as a medley with “Beset by the Creatures of the Deep”, which was a retitling of “Careful with That Axe, Eugene”.
The song was a regular part of the band’s shows from early 1969 through 1970, then less common in 1971. It was played for the last time during their short tour of Japan and Australia in August 1971.

Lirycs

“Heavy hung the canopy of blue
shade my eyes and I can see you
white is the light that shines
through the dress that you wore

She lay in the shadow of a wave
hazy were the visions overplayed
sunlight in her eyes
but moonshine made her cry
every time

Green is the colour of her kind
quickness of the eye deceives the mind
envy is the bond between the hopeful
and the damned”.

Brano scritto da Roger Waters per l’album “More”, interpretata da David Gilmour. Nel brano vi é l’apporto del flauto suonato da Linda Mason, allora moglie di Nick.

Nel film il brano, molto dolce e sognante, è impiegato per descrivere il momento di massimo idillio fra i due giovani che, fuggiti dall’altra parte dell’isola in una casa isolata, lontani dal pusher (a cui lei ha rubato dell’ero), vivono la loro storia d’amore, di libertà, di sesso e di buona droga leggera (lui crede)
