[@pandagum1234]

remember when we all had to watch these live versions and figure out the lyrics by ourselves. I loved that bc you got to see how to performed and it made me love her even more. I love you so much halsey

[@michaelberrios3019]

Me too watching thes videos makes me miss the days before badlands was released 😔

[@Hhhhhhhhhhhh115]

Omg yes!! Miss those days

[@gemmagil938]

rt. i me. i mss those days too much. i'm so proud fucking of halsey

[@yoshilover2223]

Yes omg

[@valo3o51]

omg yes... I MISS THOSE DAYS SO MUCH

[@briswifty9572]

I miss being 19 and this being the only way to listen to this song.

[@katsumaeye]

remember when this was the only decent version of this song and everyone lived off the live version

[@RendernStattGendern]

I still think this is the best version

[@mercurialmagictrees]

Wow time does fly 🕊️🕑

[@vkole5680]

I just spent 20 min to find THIS SPECIFIC VIDEO because it brings me waves of nostalgia and I STILL like it more than the studio version 😭😭

[@jaureguiswift]

SAME THIS VERSION IS SUPERIOR

[@mefzy]

shit i was straight before i watched this

[@dogluv4ever]

[@lydiam.2583]

siandevaney i haven't been straight since i found out about her. (like a year ago bro)

[@syd2367]

siandevaney I was gay to begin with and I think this made me gayer.

[@joscelynngomezz]

[@wakanaromero1646]

[@luvelayna]

[@taarrraaaaa]

oh hey coll

[@yashemmings6898]

Oh hey coll

[@Ryan-bz2ki]

I feel like this version is much more dreamier than the studio version, but I like the studio version too because it's so intense

[@Ryan-bz2ki]

This*

[@lolgurl141]

I agree especially the actual music

[@elsabio09]

Agree

[@MuitoDaora]

+Ryan Mitch Now there is!!!

[@camitoast]

we're everywhere |-/

[@Rahma-st2gj]

coming back here to the first video i saw of her in 2015 after seeing halsey for the first time yesterday feels unreal!!! 😭 almost a decade of loving her and every bit of her music 🩷💜💙

[@CloakOfBlackDust]

I wish she hadn't deleted her tumblr. It made people realize that she's like any normal person with interests and passions and obsessions.

[@SarahMilla48]

Contactly I know I'm honestly so sad about, but also I'm so glad she won't have to deal with people digging up old stuff and harassing her with it anymore. She was probably getting tired of people tweeting her old posts that she had already apologized for / addressed

[@claudiaread3657]

Sarah Milla What happened?

[@SarahMilla48]

Claudia Read people were just being obnoxious and were digging back in her blog and reblogging posts from years ago when she was just a regular one direction blog like everyone else and wouldn't stop making fun of her and then she deleted

[@SarahMilla48]

This grey vs red debate is giving me flashbacks to the dress i need therapy

[@madeirapetronis1264]

it's gray !!

[@peppiwinter3271]

she tweeted saying it was grey :)

[@ramaya2231]

I thought it was red but it is actually grey

[@vaniaramadhani3890]

I don't get it. What's with red and gray?

[@natalyawilliams9698]

It's sounds like she's saying red, some people thing she's saying red others thing grey. It is actually grey she tweeted.

[@234mara]

“You were red. You liked me cause I was blue. You touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky and you decided purple just wasn't for you.” SHE SAID THAT FULL OF PASSION OH MY GOD I LOVE HER

[@bluecozade2922]

I remember when this was the only version of colors I could listen to that actually sounded good and the quality was good, now she has her own fucking album I want to cry I'm so proud of her

[@xxPinkCookieexx]

i hate to say this, but this version of colors is much better than the studio version on the album. i was anticipating a studio version for months and i was kinda disappointed :/ but im still so in love w halsey lol

[@MsIlovejustice]

SAME

[@mcca422]

SAME

[@jordy407]

THANK YOU

[@BraedonSingsForYou10]

Go chck out the stripped version, much better than the regular studio version. c:

[@Maria-en6qb]

SAME

[@sserafimies]

that part about the lilac sky.... really got to me

[@daniellehoward4194]

it gave me chills bc it was so beautiful 😻

[@rotroom]

the way she sang the you were red and you liked me because i was blue part gives me chills

[@breb4433]

Everytime

[@malakabdou6418]

same af

[@lolgurl141]

for reals

[@janezzajimenez8423]

that part of the song f's me up

[@valentinag.7633]

and even more the part of "lilac sky"

[@ajleefan4ever942]

Am i the only one who repeats this video more than 6000 times a day?

[@deniseyan9486]

Ajleefan4ever not at all

[@naturalcalamities8782]

No

[@ajleefan4ever942]

Yay! i thought I was the only one, although the studio version is out there I still listen to this about every single day!

[@mhzbaby6481]

No. 🚫

[@emgrace778]

when she said purple I legitimately got the chills. that part HAS SOME OF THE BEST LYRICS I HAVE EVER HEARD,, THEY GET ME EVERYTIME

[@sophiaramirez8958]

When she said suddenly she's a lilac sky my heart jumps

[@marzwolfe4037]

I loved this lyric so much I got a tattoo of it ❤️💙💜💜

[@brittany5515]

better than the studio tbh 😂

[@Jennifer-ws2vb]

Slightly agree😂👌

[@chiquibaby193]

agree 100%

[@Danisnotonfire19]

I agree...there's more passion here

[@LaGleek320]

This performance is my religion

[@liamorourke4448]

Lmfao me

[@icedtina]

"You were red And you liked me cause I was blue You touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky And then you decided purple just wasn't for you"

[@lukeknight3452]

That steady beat is everything. I keep bouncing to it and losing myself in a fantasy that her music paints in my mind. I don't know why but I feel happy listening to this, am I the only one?

[@sayasee5856]

+luke knight makes me happy too!

[@d.w.1805]

The studio version isn't terrible exactly but this will always be my favorite version of this song. Wish the studio sounded more like this. :/

[@monalletinie143]

This is how I met Halsey. I remember when she wasn't as known as she is now 😭💔

[@alana6060]

you can't even hear the crowd too much when she's performing this is gold

[@SarahMilla48]

because it was her first time ever doing it live and the song still hasn't been released lol nobody knew the words

[@monalletinie143]

Watching this video 5 years later when she has changed and improved in many ways reall hits you

[@zug9957]

this will forever remain the best version/performance of colors imo

[@philanadunseith9717]

I love how quiet the audience is. Their like mesmerized.

[@wakemeupsunshine50]

I love it when she spreads out her arms and just gives it all. I think she's an angel dressed up as a human haha

[@lilaccat18]

THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING SONG I LOVE HALSEY SO MUCH I'M SPEECHLESS

[@sarahfortaneh3698]

Prof pic 👌👍👏

[@anna-kv7jr]

"you decided purple wasn't for you" I CHOKED ON MY DRINK

[@dannahlee9535]

She srsly needs to be noticed. Her voice is just PERFECT

[@Selina13579]

I really want her to go on tour with 5SOS OMFG😍😍

[@dannahlee9535]

yes omg but like her and ashton and mikey on insta

[@Selina13579]

It was Mikey and Calum but yeah😂😊

[@dannahlee9535]

i think it was all or just not luke idk

[@Selina13579]

her more recent one is with Mikey and Calum but I think she has some older posts with Ashton since they're like best friends.

[@chloekeegan2102]

this song gives me the chills im sososo in love with her

[@MaraJimz]

it's honestly been so long since the studio version is out but i still can't get used to it; like to me this performance is the actual original song im cryign

[@kevinroque838]

sometimes I come to this video and imagine this is the studio version.

[@dandandanielaa]

most beautiful song ive ever heard im in love

[@dandandanielaa]

also, someone needs to post the lyrics to this because i only get "blue" lol

[@SarahMilla48]

***** someone on twitter typed them all out! twitter.com/halseyhype/status/576092473337905154

[@faridkhan9842]

Sarah Milla

[@joefriend8190]

throwback to before badlands came out when if i wanted to listen to colors i would play this video

[@dynamicdyke3693]

"You were red and you liked me because I was blue."

[@abril7318]

aw i remember watching this five years ago and falling in love with the song, the album version does not do justice but the lyrics are still on point. and then everyone started hating on her and making fun of her singing and i just want to go back to these times where you were just able to enjoy a song without being a meanie.

[@stellaandbands]

i love this with my life

[@sydneyd9105]

stellaandbands STELLA i love you hi

[@dallasdays491]

Ayeee stel I see you xx (dallas_days on twitter in case you didn't know hahaha)

[@sassyirwin3733]

ay $tel

[@lily-rg4xy]

I have an emotional connection to this version man I memorized it before it came out

[@forestings]

I miss the tumblr "soft grunge" phase back in 2014. I used to talk shit abt the trends but my life was all abt the 1975, halsey, arctic monkeys and pastel sunsets. A dumb 14 y.o with 0 experience in romantic love so i thought it would be something completely surreal. Yes i had problems but they all seem so little comparing to now.. like my biggest problem was the fact that my mum wouldn't let me buy that one choker pls take me back LMAO (Sorry for the long paragraph, quarantine got me emotional)

[@AdoringLillys]

Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so, You said your mother only smiled on her tv show, You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope, I hope you make it to the day you're 28 years old. You're dripping like a saturated sunrise, you're spilling like an overflowing sink, You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece And now were tearing through the pages and the ink, oh Everything was blue, his pills, his hands his jeans and now i'm covered in the colors; pull apart at the seams it makes me blue it makes me blue Everything was grey his hair, his smoke, his dreams And now hes so devoid of color he don't know what it means it makes me blue it makes me blue The next vision in the morning when the light came through And no I've only felt religion when I lie with you, Said you'll never be forgiven till your boys are too, and I'm still waking every morning but its not with you. You're dripping like a saturated sunrise, you're spilling like an overflowing sink, You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece And now were tearing through the pages and the ink, Everything was blue, his pills, his hands his jeans and now I'm covered in the colors; pull apart at the seams it makes me blue it makes me blue Everything was grey his hair, his smoke, his dreams And now hes so devoid of color, he don't know what it means it makes me blue it makes me blue Everything is blue x4 You were red, and you liked me because i was blue and you touched me and suddenly i was a lilac sky. and you decided purple just wasn't for you. Everything was blue, his pills, his hands his jeans and now I'm covered in the colors; pull apart at the seams it makes me blue it makes me blue Everything was grey his hair, his smoke, his dreams And now hes so devoid of color, he don't know what it means It makes me blue It makes me blue Everything was blue x4

[@SELINisFEARLESS]

youre a wonderful person

[@MaggieFulmer]

*everything was grey, his hair, his smoke, his dreams and now he's so devoid of color he don't know what it means

[@AdoringLillys]

Maggie Fulmer thank you! i fixed it.

[@lexx.stormm]

I want these lyrics on my wall

[@juliacheung8251]

Oh my gawd me too

[@tanyamufiri9940]

IM REALLY DESPERATE FOR BADLANDS NOW

[@kaylanotkyla]

the way that we all youtube to mp3’ed this version back in the day

[@lemuel8421]

thanks to this video I fell in love with her... I'm so sad this isn't the studio version, you can tell shes singing this song with all her heart... specially in the lilac sky part. I love her so much and i'm so proud of how big shes become.

[@natalyawilliams9698]

I tried my hardest to describe how I feel about this song in words and I just can't. It's too beautiful for words, I'm way too excited for badlands.

[@haleymarlowe4278]

My sexuality is this woman

[@aliyekhalilova]

The "lilac sky" is the best part of the song

[@discolizarrdd]

I already know this song is gonna be a HUGE hit! And i'm already proud :)

[@katieidk]

I'm seeing halsey today, in nashville, im really excited

[@katieidk]

John Claxon hey! im sorry for the very late reply, ive been having issues with my laptop and stuff... but the show was great! a lot of standing and waiting but i had lots of fun! very entertaining

[@useruser630]

ugh I discovered Halsey 3 days after the Nashville concert (I live in Tennessee) and I'm super bummed I missed it.

[@fallonillyanna4283]

I live in Columbia like an hour away from Nashville ugh I didn't know she came through 😞😫

[@briannabaele4496]

I've listened to this on repeat for hours

[@tattoo62]

i am 52 yrs old and love 60's and 70's music. but the last few yrs there are many singers that are very good. this girl has a very awesome voice. she is really good !! im not even kidding !! she will go far i think !!!

[@katyhiggins9380]

BEEN WAITING FOREVER TO FINALLY HEAR THIS SONG. I am far from disappointed. Absolutely love this. Oh my God, man.

[@tabathapope1474]

I find myself coming back to this version of the song even though the audio version is out and I don't know why. I guess I love the beat more and the passion I feel in the way she sings the lyrics. And the "you were red" part gives me chills.

[@oecyoongi6612]

omg same

[@rayevans9276]

i miss her so much

[@emilycornfoot521]

same :(

[@Danisnotonfire19]

THIS IS FOREVER MY FAVORITE PERFORMANCE

[@alexisturner4167]

remember when this was the video we all watched bc there was no studio version omg!! and the gray vs red debate.. I'll always loovee this version!!

[@mikaylaredding1471]

pretty convinced she sweats sparkles bye

[@crazyfangurl243]

omg coming back to this vid today.... i can’t believe i’ve been a fan for this long 🥺 and to see where she’s at now and how successful she’s been lately.. i’m so proud of her 🥰

[@beccanguyen6356]

the spoken word hit me like a brick i love her

[@EmoxSpirit]

oh my god, i love her so much. words cannot express how much i adore her.

[@Vanessa-bt5vf]

I watch this everyday omg. She's soooo good live

[@stef9033]

i come back here every year since 2015 :') still my favorite halsey live, and interpretation of this song.

[@whatever1086]

I GET GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME SHE SINGS OMG IM SO INLOVE

[@melannieguillenmartinez5852]

her mind is like a diamond

[@JuniorJunioor]

I want the demo to come out. I like the album's version but this one is just special to me. The album is more pop and full of magic but this one is more sad and different, idk why.

[@feliperomero8130]

I don't like the album one its way overdone like they autotuned it and changed the lyrics and it isn't the same :/ I like room 93 Halsey badlands Halsey seems artificial now :(

[@JuniorJunioor]

+Felipe Romero i love room 93, Badlands is different but has Halsey's style. Badlands is more confident and shows a lot of Halsey's potential. About Colors, it's ok. She always said that Colors was the pop/love song on Badlands but I wanted something special like this live version. Maybe it was easier for her to change the instrumental because this song is about someone she was in love with and it's special to her.

[@jasmineeeo22]

i cANT WAIT FOR THE STUDIO VERSION OF THISSSS ❤❤❤❤

[@Youreinmyheadlikeasong24]

She's so freaking beautiful

[@linzeemae9638]

someday I want to write beautiful music just like her. her songs are really nice to listen to but the lyrics are also beautiful

[@xxannaxx5834]

I love how at first she's all tight and obviously nervous and sort of reserving herself, but then toward the second half its all hand gestures and more moving around. you can sorta see her confidence building :3

[@beckylorella]

this will be forever my favorite live version of colors

[@justkidrauhl4]

I need a studio version of this like now! Halsey is so incredible, I'm really hoping she'll get the fame she deserves

[@fullhousecast420]

shes so pretty

[@sabdg4148]

your icon is pretty :)

[@musicbloempje]

The first video that I saw of her ever. Even 2 years later it is incredible

[@deniseyan9486]

Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so You said your mother only smiled on her TV show You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope I hope you make it to the day you're 28 years old You're dripping like a saturated sunrise You're spilling like an overflowing sink You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece And now I'm tearing through the pages and the ink Everything is blue His pills, his hands, his jeans And now I'm covered in the colors Pulled apart at the seams And it's blue And it's blue Everything is grey His hair, his smoke, his dreams And now he's so devoid of color He don't know what it means And he's blue And he's blue You were a vision in the morning when the light came through I know I've only felt religion when I'm lying with you You said you'll never be forgiven 'til your boys are too And I'm still waking every morning but it's not with you You're dripping like a saturated sunrise You're spilling like an overflowing sink You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece And I'm tearing through the pages and the ink Everything is blue His pills, his hands, his jeans And now I'm covered in the colors Pulled apart at the seams And it's blue And it's blue Everything is grey His hair, his smoke, his dreams And now he's so devoid of color He don't know what it means And he's blue And he's blue Everything is blue Everything is blue Everything is blue Everything is blue You were red and you liked me 'cause I was blue You touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky And you decided purple just wasn't for you Everything is blue His pills, his hands, his jeans And now I'm covered in the colors Pulled apart at the seams And it's blue And it's blue Everything is grey His hair, his smoke, his dreams And now he's so devoid of color He don't know what it means And he's blue And he's blue Everything is blue Everything is blue Everything is blue Everything is blue

[@chanelnumberfour8176]

SHE NEEDS TO DROP THIS SONG LIKE NOW

[@Sinderellahh]

Goosebumps and tears because this is so beautiful

[@SarahMilla48]

i can't respond to the person that asked about ticket prices because you don't have replies enabled but the ticket was only like $25 including service fees

[@brittany5515]

okay but thank you for recording this video. you can clearly hear her voice and in my opinion this is the best video of Halsey and her best song performance and I love it so much thank you thank you

[@SarahMilla48]

+Joanna Zhao 💚

[@kajasharpewolf2024]

dude I’d kill for 25 dollar tickets to a halsey concert

[@lenacarey2333]

Throwback to when all we had to listen to was this live performance. Now badlands has been out for a few months and she's sold out MSG. I'm so proud of her, I miss pre-badlands a lot but she's happier now and she's finding the success she deserves. This version of the song will always be special to me though.

[@marilyn3624]

Her music is my happiness💙

[@sunshineeexxsmilesss]

may or may not have cried watching this. she is everything.

[@marialouise3010]
