so i am reading Color of Magic to the kiddo (7). it's a little advanced for her but i use accents and explain some of the fancy words and she's really enjoying it. we just got to the part where they escape the temple of bel-shamharoth and she turns to me and goes, "mom, can i swear?" and i go "yeah sure go ahead" and she says ""mom, this book is fucking crazy."
proud mom moment

Do You Love The Colour Of The Sky? 🎶
So I've gone and written a pop-punk song in tribute to one of Tumblr’s most iconic memes - Here it is:
--------
🎶 Do you love the colour of the sky she said
We watched the hues fade from blue to black then pink and red
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
It was a summer like no other
Because I had you by my side
You took away all of my troubles
And in my heart is still where you reside
Now everything I see reminds me
Of when we thought had it all
So won't you come out here and find me
And we can remember what it's like to fall
Lying on our backs
We watched the clouds go rolling past
And I knew right then and there
That I wanted this to last
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
We watched the hues fade from blue to black then pink and red
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
Well I went back up to that hilltop
The very same place that we lay
If you were here would we still talk?
About how we'd make it out of this town someday
Lying on our backs
We watched the clouds go rolling past
And I knew right then and there
That I wanted this to last
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
We watched the hues fade from blue to black then pink and red
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
Do you love the way it makes my eyes reflect
All above, and I knew that it was too perfect
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
And as we stood and watched the orange of the rising sun
I turned to her and asked…
…Do you want this to last?
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
We watched the hues fade from blue to black then pink and red
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
Do you love the way it makes my eyes reflect
All above, and I knew that it was too perfect
Do you love the colour of the sky she said
(Do you love the colour of it?)
And as we stood and watched the orange of the rising sun
I turned to her and asked…
...Which one? 🎶

Lyrics by Tom H. Jordan

BTW if anyone with more musical talent than me wants to take these lyrics and actually make a full song out of it, you have my blessing, go ahead! In my head it has that sort of neon-pop-punk, Metro Station, The Summer Set, kinda sound, but honestly do what you want with it — all I'll ask is that you do credit me as a lyricist and that you send the song to me, 'cause I wanna hear it 🖤🤘
