Chambers, Kasey - True Colours Lyrics






You with the sad eyes,
Dont be discouraged.
Oh I realise,
Its hard to take courage
In a world full of people,
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Makes you feel so small.

But I see your true colours shining through.
I see your true colors,
And thats why I love you.
So dont be afraid to let them show;
Your true colors.
Your true colors.
Are beautiful
Like a rainbow.

Show me smiling;
Dont be unhappy,
Cant remember when
I last saw you laughing.
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up,
Because you know I'll be there.

But I see your true colours shining through.
I see your true colors,
And thats why I love you.
So dont be afraid to let them show;
Your true colors.
Your true colors.
Are beautiful
Like a rainbow.

Cant remember when
I last saw you laughing...

If this world makes you crazy,
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there.

But I see your true colours shining through.
I see your true colors,
And thats why I love you.
So dont be afraid to let them show;
Your true colors.
Your true colors.
Are beautiful
Like a rainbow.

But I see your true colours shining through.
I see your true colors,
And thats why I love you.
So dont be afraid to let them show;
Your true colors.
Your true colors.
Are beautiful
Like a rainbow.

Chambers, Kasey True Colours Comments
  1. G.... ....

    Captures the essence of a cat going through a meat grinder perfectly 10/10

  2. I.... S....

    Pure nonsense. So awful

  3. J.... H....

    Mum would always play this and sing with me when I was feeling blue

  4. B.... T....

    I love you kasey chambers 😍🥰😘😻💋💋💋

  5. S.... B....

    You have a special beautiful voice

  6. B.... ....

    I sorry but why does she sound like a toddler going through puberty

    B.... ....

    You've seen a toddler go through puberty before?

  7. J.... M....

    Cyndi's version more beautiful and breathtaking.

  8. G.... D....

    Just came here to say she has the shittest voice in the world

    G.... D....

    Totally fucking agree!

  9. J.... R....

    I'd rather insert a hot drill in my ears on high speed rather than hear this chick's whiny vocals!
    Sounds like a dying cat

    J.... R....

    In Australia we consider the whiny voice is aimed at the US market

  10. E.... W....

    I'm 13 now and I remember as a little girl listening to your music with my pop we would sing along all the time and we loved you so much. We still listen to your music today and our favourite song would be Bluebird

  11. S.... H....

    dardy chick n music listern to.her over and over again

  12. R.... ....

    Kasey its me ruby do you know Lorraine gassman? its me and Di do you know me say yes or no Kasey please

  13. A.... B....

    this is an original song its just posted on 2009 so maybe yeah its original

    sorry trolls lovers

  14. J.... ....

    Awesome Cover...Simply Beautiful! =)

  15. c.... ....

    I don't understand how I can dislike Kasey Chambers, but when she made albums with Shane Nicholson, they were AMAZING

    c.... ....

    Best singer ever

  16. M.... M....

    she shinen like a diamond a true one

  17. S.... ....

    Ha, these comments are hilarious, I'm old enough to have been in my early 20s when Cyndi came out with this one. Happened to be living in Australia, only under 15 year olds and over 40 year olds loved it. But I love Casey, only she could have sung this close to the original. The haters are obviously Yank know nothings. Unfortunately the standard of education is falling so far behind the rest of the western world , the US are breeding really uneducated young people that don't know anything outside their pathetic little worlds. Sad really.

  18. B.... ....

    eva cassidy does it best, but for a pop version this isn't so bad

  19. N.... &....

    I like cyndi lauper better of this song

  20. N.... &....

    I like cyndi lauper better of this song

    N.... &....

    Cyndi fills it with a passion that no other singer of the song gets anywhere near.

  21. M.... K....

    i LIKE this Version
    in saying that I LIKE THE ORIGINAL BETTER
    in saying that I DISLIKE that Kasey copied Cyndi on this one, this doesn't sit well with me
    in saying that This version doesn't really add anything to the song, it's basically the exact same thing
    the only difference is when Kasey says TRUE COLOURS, IT SOUNDS LIKE TRUE
    When Cyndi says it it's CHEW COLOURS
    that's the only difference

    M.... K....

    feel where ur coming from, but when I first heard this song I assumed it was a Tracy Chambers original. Wasn't until 5 years later did I realize it was a cover haha. Anyway the point is, a good cover can never do any harm because it simply introduces classics to a new generation, much like this song :)

    M.... K....

    @Zebrofski have you ever heard the alien ant farm cover of smooth criminal
    hehe
    i think that did a lot of harm
    this one, in fairness does not harm cindy

    M.... K....

    hahah funny you mention that, that was another song I thought was an original for a couple years, when I heard MJ's version it was apparent that yes they did harm the original lol

    M.... K....

    @Zebrofski hehe,, it was fucking shocking   hehe

  22. d.... ....

    she really didn't add anything to the song.

    d.... ....

    dont dis kasey

    d.... ....

    Why don't you try to do better then?

    d.... ....

    She just liked the song and wanted to sing it, don't be an idiot.

  23. A.... ....

    i love this song!! :D

    A.... ....

    KingDolphin42 same

  24. C.... K....

    Love your music but please casey stick to writing and performing your own songs
    I feel in this song she's trying to outdo or even sound like the beautiful Cyndi Lauper
      Maybe if she had done the song in country style it would've sounded better.

    C.... K....

    Carla Kosky what this isn't country style? Haha get your ears checked mate

  25. y.... ....

    Better than the original... So raw and emotive. Beautiful Kasey!

    y.... ....

    raw as in the synths and reverb were removed? it's the same as the original, the exact same inflection on the words, she even puts on an american accent despite being australian purely to imitate cyndi lauper.
    how this version got so much positivity escapes me.

  26. N.... G....

    Original for me all the way. sorry - KC is talented in her own right but i dislike this version immensely.

    N.... G....

    @Neo Giovanni
    Probably because she didn't make it her own, like anything in life original is always the best

    N.... G....

    +Neo Giovanni how about the Phil Collins version though.

    N.... G....

    unless of course its an eva cassidy cover

  27. E.... R....

    always making a move with this song

  28. j.... ....

    If you don't like Kasey's singing that's fine because not everyone likes the same thing. (You won't find me watching an opera clip) However if you don't like her voice why watch and then leave negative comments. I'll never understand. Me I love her voice and the way she sings. Keep it up Kasey.

    j.... ....

    👍🏻 😞 I agree!! Why are people so unkind???? 🤷🏻‍♂️ ☮️

  29. s.... j....

    Ive listening to Kasey since my grandmother introduced her to me when I was 4. She is my idol, & she sings this song beautifully. Alot better than Cyndi too.

  30. o.... t....

    191 tone deff idiots, Kasey's voice is flat when she is not singing through her nose........ sounds like an animal in distress

  31. D.... R....

    Kasey has the credibiltity to cover this song & she does well. But it is just so owned by Cyndi it makes it near impossible.

  32. T.... V....

    Kasey's vocals aren't flat.I don't think you know anything about singing.She is a nice person.I have met her several times at the Aria awards.Great personality

  33. J.... F....

    Yeah, half head. Fucking half brain more like. Go back to your dead end relationship with your hand.

  34. h.... ....

    CAN YOU NOT HEAR HOW FLAT HER VOCALS ARE WHEN SHE IS SINGING???

    This song is almost better than any of rihannas shit... The only thing that rihanna's songs have over this piece of shit is that at LEAST Rihanna's voice was auto tuned so we can't tell how poorly she sings...

    Fuck kasey chambers and her fat bogan head!

  35. h.... ....

    This isn't music..... And you're probably a fat bogan too

  36. J.... C....

    of course bill knows kasey he is her dad

  37. T.... ....

    When I first saw this clip I couldn't believe how BEAUTIFUL it was I was completely mesmerized by it and Kasey's beauty. Loved this song to DEATH was so mad it wasn't on a CD somewhere or anything! Clung to my TV to watch her sing on Rove. I think she had JUST had Talon by then... at some point though I managed to find it on a single CD... and it wouldn't work on my cd player lol Had to use computer or the car. I definitely abused the repeat for this song! Then it came out on Storybook! LOL

    T.... ....

    bettllies songs

    T.... ....

    old 55 songs

    T.... ....

    old 55songs

  38. l.... c....

    brilliant version - love her!!!

  39. B.... ....

    I'd rather have someone drilling into my ears then listen to her voice

  40. D.... W....

    My fiancé met Bill Chambers.

    Lucky girl! She told me that he knew Kasey as well.

    He was performing in Cairns back then.

  41. J.... S....

    fuk u hun

  42. H.... l....

    Phil Collins is beter!

  43. b.... ....

    You sound like my six year old sister.

  44. r.... ....

    oh dear....

  45. j.... b....

    gives me goosebumps!!!!!

  46. v.... ....

    I remember when she sang this on national television, and you could seriously just feel everyone thinking 'wow'.

  47. D.... D....

    @mythiecryten I don't think so .. Cindy's is the best, especially live

  48. A.... A....

    <3 her voiceee, in my opinion.. better than the original

  49. f.... ....

    @happysmileyguns naaah, she doesnt sing it in timeee. its too slow to keep up

  50. m.... ....

    Casey is one truly gorgeous Aussie gal.

  51. E.... ....

    beautiful with meaning.
    Love it

  52. T.... K....

    Its a fantastic song and Kasey Chambers is great but honestly i think the video clip is just weird lol

  53. A.... M....

    All you internet warriors that want to post derogatory crap on youtube, if you don't like it dont listen to it. Then you won't feel the need to post your rotten comments on songs that others enjoy. I like this and the original, and love this song to the track that came out about the wallabies

  54. b.... ....

    well theres a rumour going around that cyndi lauper apparently had ginger hair in the 80's. so what im sayoing is that casey tried too hard to copy cyndi and failed with this god awful cover

  55. D.... ....

    why does it matter?

  56. b.... ....

    why is she a ginger in this song?

  57. D.... ....

    Mate,
    Think before you speak, will save you embarrassing your self any further. If we could turn back time then you comment would definitely be one of those times.
    I feel for your family, it must be hard for them.

  58. D.... ....

    Lets Not Get Too Excited Mate!!!!

  59. h.... w....

    love it
