This is NOT an analysis of a song, merely personal observations about a song that I love. Enjoy. Ian "Kodachrome" by Paul Simon One of my favourite Paul Simon solo songs, from the 1973 album, "There Goes Rhymin' Simon". The song works on many levels, but I think mainly looking back to the old world from the new and the world looking better in technicolor. But I am not expert in interpretation of such things ! "When I think back On all the crap I learned in high school It’s a wonder I can think at all" "Everything looks worse In black and white" "They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world’s A sunny day, oh yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to a photograph So mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away" "Kodachrome" by Paul Simon
© 1973 Words and Music by Paul Simon When I think back On all the crap I learned in high school It’s a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of education Hasn’t hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world’s A sunny day, oh yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to a photograph So mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away If you took all the girls I knew When I was single And brought them all together For one night I know they’d never match My sweet imagination Everything looks worse In black and white Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world’s A sunny day, oh yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to a photograph So mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away
