Feeling Colours
How do you want to feel?
I started Crimsen with one idea: how unbelievably easy it is to change your mood and your energy with music. Pick a colour and watch the room change.
1 / 4
Feeling Red
Anger, ambition, lust and motivation. Episode one of my podcast was red, because you voted for it, and it goes with going hard at the gym. Take It Back is my reddest record.
2 / 4
Feeling Blue
The heavy ones. Lonely Winter came out of the worst winter of my life, and I still play it when I need to feel it all the way through.
3 / 4
Feeling Green
Peace. My nani was a green person, an empath who looked after everyone. The Barcelona bunker set and the sunset mix are both green.
4 / 4
Feeling Yellow
Summer, warmth, good people. Who Knows came out on Street Tracks with yellow vibes all over it.
A tiny quiz with one question
What are you feeling right now?
Red is anger, ambition, lust and motivation.
Blue is the heavy, sad ones.
Green is peace, and people who care.
Yellow is warm, happy, summer.
Between stimulus and response lies freedom.
I am paraphrasing Viktor Frankl, and it is the whole point of Feeling Colours. Something happens, you feel it, and before you react there is a little gap. A song can live in that gap.
The podcast
Feeling Colours
Episode one was Feeling Red, because when I asked which colour to start with, you all answered red. Episode two was Feeling Green. Each one is a mix built around one mood, so you can pick how you want to feel and press play.
On KISS FM Australia I put it like this: music is the language of emotions.
