Jane Siberry is a Canadian music artist. Perhaps she began in ’81 or before, but I know of her because of a single hit from the 1980s: “One More Colour” from her 1985 album The Speckless Sky<\/em>.<\/p>\n I remember hearing “One More Colour” when I was fifteen. It called me back to a childhood that I’d glimpsed, but was losing. Its lyrics hint at life in Canada:<\/p>\n \nA basket of apples by the back door, beneath the sweater pegs -Jane Siberry, “One More Colour”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “One More Colour”‘s dreamy, bouncy melody draws the listener into contemplation. It’s catchy, yet intriguing – I can’t think of a similar song. Underneath, Jane starts by asking, “Is it lasting?”<\/p>\n “One More Colour”‘s meaning seems difficult for me to decode, while its tone seems to ask, “Why worry?” It’s mysterious, yet somehow reassuring.<\/p>\n I can’t recall any of my friends mentioning “One More Colour”, yet I saw the video on TV. Truly, I think it’s catchier than some 80s hits that receive more attention.<\/p>\n That part of my life passed quickly, but I never forgot “One More Colour”, half of whose video I caught on my way out to catch the bus when I was a kid of fifteen. I knew I must, eventually, listen to the whole song. Now, thanks to the internet, you can, too:)<\/p>\n Source:<\/p>\n popmatters.com<\/a><\/p>\n youtube<\/a><\/p>\nJack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Self-tutoring about Canadian culture: the tutor reflects on a memorable Canadian 80s hit.
