Kappa, Halie, and Em performing our version of True Colors written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. Oh...there's also a cameo appearance by our sweet, big, black and white kitty, Nehemiah, after the song. ;) Halie plays the mandolin..and that's Emma on the fiddle. I thought I hated this song... ha...(I think it was the Cyndi Lauper (hiccup) thing from long ago that soured me to it)...but it was sent to me as a request and I did a youtube search and found Cyndi singing it live a few years ago and just absolutely fell in love with the thing...it was simple and hearfelt....I tried to keep the same spirit going while adding our own flavor in our version...I'm becoming very proud of the girls' harmonies. :))
"Billy Steinberg originally wrote "True Colors" about his own mother. Tom Kelly altered the first verse and the duo submitted the song to Cyndi Lauper. Their demo was in a form of piano based gospel ballad like "Bridge over Troubled Water". Steinberg told Songfacts that "Cyndi completely dismantled that sort of traditional arrangement and came up with something that was breathtaking and stark."
