In The Colors is a story of personal transformation: A journey from the shadows to finding new love, with time, patience, and friendship guiding the way. This record was written and recorded just moments before our world held its collective breath, and these songs tell a story dotted with painful lessons, reluctant hopefulness, and surrender.
This record serves the soil from which grew Echo Magic, my production team and record label. A common language of music alchemized with a bit of good timing has branched into a canopy of friendships, collaboration, family, community, and creative encouragement. The making of In The Colors was a haven from both past and future; industry and politics. An insular and vivid moment in time.

lyrics
Waters Rising
Brendan Willing James, Syd Sidney, Daniel Wright
Head in the clouds
Feet on the ground
I didn’t notice
The waters rising
Won’t make any plans
I’ll trust in my hands
To keep bailing
The water’s rising
Most will call this the end
Be peaceful and then
You’ll be free
While the waters rising
People say that I’m crazy
I’ll never make it
It’s written on the wall
How can I reply
It don’t matter much
Cuz I’m not afraid to fall
Not afraid to fall
I’ll keep dancing
I’ll keep that love in my heart
I just laugh as the waters rising
They say just give up
There’s no easy way up
It’s all over
The waters rising
People say that I’m crazy
I’ll never make it
It’s written on the wall
How can I reply
It don’t matter much?
Cuz I’m not afraid to fall
Not afraid to fall
a bit bluesy a bit rock, well a bit of everything , but good , real good .
Has a real good sound and feel to it , can not help get moving to this work. openmind
Hirsch continues to impress on his 3rd album...he seems to have mastered the subtle art of changing things enough, but not too much. It's always Scott Hirsch. You can point to likely influences, but he's truly developed his own thing that at this point just keeps rolling on while I keep smilin. kat_fan
