In fact, everything does look WORSE in Black and White because it requires you to use your "sweet imagination" to figure out what color things should be. The mental result is usually more hideous than the real thing. Isn't it ironic? | Reviewer: dbsmall | 2/14/08 Isn't this really a condemnation of reality? The girls could never match up to his imagination Real color looked better with kodachrome 'brightening' And everything looks worse in b&w. I don't think this is an upbeat song. It's about a guy who'd rather live in dreams than in reality, and who's begging for people to not destroy his illusions, which he's dependent on. Variations | Reviewer: Koji Okamoto | 1/3/08 Paul used to sing "everything looks WORSE in black and white," then moved to "PALE" and eventually "BETTER", changing the meaning completely the other way around. I am not trying to correct it. Similar things happens once in a while in Paul's songs-- such as the one in his 'Old Friends,' where the old men were "waiting for the sunset" but now "for the sun." As Paul's gotten old, more sympathy to the old is expressed here... I like the ways he revised his lyrics. Kodachrome | Reviewer: rcthomas007 | 10/28/07 I was listening to an oldies station on Sunday. And for the first time I focused on the lyrics. And for the first time I found the true essence of the song. It hooked me and I feel in love with it. I heard it before when it was first released but on Sunday for the first time I really listend and the rest is history. Wonderful song. | Reviewer: Lupita. | 10/17/07 I heard of this song because of the movie "Cops and Robbertsons". I liked it very much and everytime listen to that song It reminds me Mr. Jack Palance, who died a year ago. He starred that movie with Chevy Chase. I love kodachrome | Reviewer: chris | 7/3/07 this song is so cool. I love the lyrics because I can relate to them and they are great. They are such great singers every time I take a picture I think of them. Nikon and Music | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/24/07 I can't take a picture with my nikon and not have this song pop up in my head! What a Great Poet | Reviewer: Greg | 4/13/07 Almost everything he did in this time period is fantastic. This was one of his upbeat tunes that just makes you feel good. Sit back and listen to his lyrics close, the man knows how to write. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2
