LYRICS
I woke up to the morning sky, first
Baby blue, just like we rehearsed
When I get up off this ground
I shake leaves back down to the brown, brown, brown, brown
'Til I'm clean
Then I walk where I'd be shaded by the trees
By a meadow of green
For about a mile
I'm headed to town, town, town, in style
With all my favorite colors, yes, sir
All my favorite colors, right on
My sisters and my brothers
See 'em like no other
All my favorite colors
It's a good day to be
A good day for me
A good day to see
My favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers
They see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors
Now take me to other side
Little bitty blues bird flies
And gray clouds, or white walls, or blue skies
We gon' fly, feel alright
And we gon' (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh), yeah
It sound like (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh), yeah
The least I can say, I anticipate
A homecoming parade as we renegade
In the morning, right on
With all my favorite colors, yes, sir
All my favorite colors, yes, ma'am
My sisters and my brothers
See 'em like no other
All my favorite colors
All my favorite colors, right
All my favorite colors, yes, ma'am
My sisters and my brothers
See 'em like no other
All my favorite colors
It's a good day to be
A good day for me
A good day to see my favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers
They see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

Man, their songs are epic, but their live performances! This has got to be one of the best live acts out there at the moment. So tight!! Every single one of them is an incredible musician and as a band they are unbelievable......WOW

[@Sentientmatter8]

I am so sad I missed it. The Black Pumas, in my city, with this amazing performance... it's a dream.

[@davidmosrie3949]

They burned the place down at Lollapalooza - we were in the 3rd row. I've seen over 30 years of concerts and this is one of the best live shows I've ever seen. Definitely the hottest live act in the country. As good as their music is, the energy they bring to their live performances is a whole other level

[@IAintNevaGonStop]

Portugal. The man and black pumas would be one hell of a show

[@kappiiee]

True. Though the sound quality in these lolapalooza vids leave something to be desired.

[@markmackintosh3765]

I can't wait to go see them man! Going to see them in my home town Glasgow, Scotland, me and my girl in a 750 capacity club. Getting goosebumps thinking about it!!

[@DoidaoPs]

Eric Burton. May be the best song I have ever heard, and they continue to top themselves. Adrian Quesada’s solo here is so powerfully moving cause he is so powerfully moved in this moment. Angela Miller & Lauren Cervantes are more sublime than ever. Bidwell & Bond holding it down on drums & bass. The shout to the fantastic JaRon Marshall. But; wow, that ending! Absolutely the most perfect example of why there’s the saying that music is the universal language

[@HindenburgNeto]

Conheci a banda no meio da pandemia só assistindo aos clipes em estúdio. É mágico ver eles cantando num palco com tanta gente. Que essa pandemia passe logo aqui no Brasil também para que a gente possa voltar a ter esses momentos! 🙏🏼🙌🏼 Black Pumas no Brasil! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I am somewhat of a "dormant" musician. Kind of set it aside for many years. This shook me to the core. Everything about this song...the tonality, the grove, the vibe, the unifying feel to it. Then I saw this live performance.......and for the 1st time in 20 years, signed up for a bands news letter. Incredible musicians. I am also a bass player, the grooves are killer...not over done, in the pocket, but interesting...at the same time....My new favorite band.

Esta canción es de Eric que cantaba solo desde sus comienzos, sólo su voz y el mismo tocaba la guitarra. Cuando se incorporó la banda, fueron agregando todos estos matices maravillosos y si observamos, ninguna presentación es igual a la otra! Eric pone otros tonos, palabras... y toda la banda también...los coros etc en fin, se nota que adoro este tema?
