Duran Duran - Beautiful Colours Lyrics






Today, riding the slow train along the way
Going to who knows where and who knows when
Not knowing where you're rolling - it's the learning of this journey

I feel if all of you people gather and believe
Being what makes you breathe in is enough
Promise to carry on from each moment to the next one

These beautiful colours, infinite patterns so hard I see
And if we're all of the same blood there's not one of you who is the same as me
Clouds of beautiful colours, indifferent to what you believe
Sometimes the beauty of it all seems unbearable 'til the colours bleed (keep breathing...)

Design - everyone's their own universe
Besides - life is a standard issue to customize
Ashes to understanding is the nature of existence

These beautiful colours, infinite patterns so hard I see
And if we're all of the same blood there's not one of you is the same as me
Proud beautiful colours, indifferent to what you believe
Sometimes the beauty of it all seems unbearable 'til the colours bleed (keep breathing...)

Keep breathing
Keep loving

These beautiful colours, infinite patterns are what I see
And now if we're all of the same blood there's not one of you is the same as me
Crowds of beautiful colours, indifferent to what you believe
Sometimes the beauty of it all seems unbearable 'til the colours bleed

Duran Duran Beautiful Colours Comments
  1. A.... K....

    this was on the album reportage along with salt in the rainbow but they scrapped that album to work with timbaland and justin timberlake who were flavours of the month andy taylor didnt agree with that decision so he left

  2. A.... P....

    top song. it was my fault they never released this on the Astronaut album! sorry guys!!

  3. R.... W....

    I have listened to this song over and over for years and I never get tired of hearing it. Gorgeous lyrics, Simon Le Bon sings this like an angel. The lyrics touch my soul each and every time. I love it. I have been saying this for so many years, Duran Duran is #1 in the world.

  4. S.... ....

    Shazam does not recognise this song 😓

  5. r.... ....

    A song even more relevant today. A missed opportunity that should be considered for a re-recording rerelease

  6. d.... 1....

    Definetely one of their top 10 songs. A true Duran Duran song, fine melody and typical Simon's way of singing it. It would be a pity if they never release it on some album.

  7. M.... S....

    Why was it left of astronaut? The last 6 tracks from that record are very boring!

  8. M.... P....

    How do I get hold of this song? I gotta have it.

  9. E.... G....

    This song is spiritual.

  10. M.... P....

    “Design, everyone’s they’re own universe, besides, life isn’t standard issue it’s customized...ashes of supernova is the nature of existence........”
    WOW JUST WOW!😮

  11. J.... F....

    They should have played this at the closing ceremonies of the London Olympics.

  12. m.... ....

    They don’t know it. How they make the earth shake.

  13. N.... 8....

    Beautiful colors, beautiful Song, beautiful POP music. 🈂️🈷️🈺㊙️㊗️Duran...!!

  14. B.... H....

    Still not over the fact this wasn't on the album 😭

  15. D.... ....

    And just why was this not released? Why not playing on the radio? Why am I hearing this just yesterday for the first time? Such a beautiful song that everyone should at least be aware of. Whether its liked or not.....Why?

  16. T.... C....

    Hermosa canción de los Duran Duran ✌️

  17. D.... l....

    Another brill song that lies on the duran scrapheap ..what a waste

  18. c.... ....

    remember when everybody put a video upload this way on early youtube lol

  19. A.... O....

    Dream on Duran Duran

  20. A.... O....

    Simon is got a voice that just travels thru my heart its amazing and I love the feeling it gives me

  21. A.... O....

    Love this song its heartfelt but of coarae its duran duran

  22. R.... T....

    can't believe Duran Duran never release this song beautiful colours should of been in the charts

  23. 1.... ....

    so acurate right now!

  24. D.... P....

    This will be released in some format one day for sure. Reckon there is a masterplan to keep certain songs back from record company and/or band which makes commercial sense if you think about it:-) Bands are still famous after they retire dont forget and Duran will certainly be amongst the greats for many centuries to come

  25. M.... M....

    The best song they never released

  26. A.... O....

    I luv these guys they make beautiful music if u read this nick simon john and roger luv u and lets not forget andy

  27. S.... ....

    Had this been the lead single off Astronaut, the album would have done a lot better

    S.... ....

    add Salt in the Rainbow, too, to make the album a true masterpiece

    S.... ....

    Totally agree with both comment's here.
    Two great song's that will indeed stand the test of time !!!

    S.... ....

    @Huan Zhong Agreed!

    S.... ....

    Huan Zhong - SIR is one of my fave Duran songs!

  28. d.... l....

    proper wrong for this not to ever be a single

  29. k.... g....

    Best song from this band in my opinion.

  30. Y.... S....

    This song is pure genius everyone should listen to it!!Make peace not war!!!

  31. D.... ....

    Next time, please let the fans choose DD's singles.

  32. T.... ....

    why wasn't this a major hit

    T.... ....

    It was never released.

    T.... ....

    It should have been released

    T.... ....

    Because our favourite band is really good at making huge fucking mistakes!!!!!!!!

    T.... ....

    Because of the lame diversity lyrics?

    T.... ....

    Like alot of their songs that should have been but weren't iether!!

  33. R.... K....

    this should have been in the album, i have no idea why they didnt want it in there

  34. J.... R....

    The way this man sings is hard to describe. Can you hear him? It's fracking amazing.

    J.... R....

    I hear it brother! I've often thought the same thing about Simon's voice.......electric? Slick cool? Forever youthful? Help me out!

  35. J.... N....

    this song says it all,love each other,love will defeat hated

    J.... N....

    someone... dont listen very good, my friend.. cry tears on a tomb..is not a hounor.. just pain and sadness.

  36. J.... N....

    this song says it all,love each other,love will defeat hated

  37. Z.... W....

    Peace and equality

    Z.... W....

    P. Wilson amen

  38. Z.... W....

    This is what honors those who have gave all in the Wars we have died in..

  39. A.... K....

    I'll take Songs That Aren't on Donald Trump's iPOD for 1000 Alex

    A.... K....

    And just like that...........Donald Trump was the world's biggest racist....ever. You're a real dumb ass, aren't ya? Weak minded drone.

  40. J.... D....

    One of their great songs.

  41. A.... R....

    desde que los escuche, me encantaron,,,,,BIG DURAN DURAN...

  42. k.... ....

    This is a masterpiece. I've loved Duran Duran since 1983 - forever a fan! <3

    k.... ....

    Agree.....fan since 78........DD 4ever

  43. S.... S....

    fantastic song ,means so much at the moment because of world events love and peace to all le bon girl 71 xx

  44. l.... ....

    This is how song sound when is Andy work with them. Masterpiece. After he left they don't sound fresh anymore.

  45. J.... R....

    From 1:39 to  2:54 is the greatest work in the history of Duran Duran.

  46. d.... p....

    What a lovely video x

  47. 1.... ....

    Love the visuals! So perfect matching......

  48. J.... R....

    Watching this for the 4,000 time at least.

  49. G.... K....

    Beautiful colors is a wonderful song in which we should celebrate diversity instead of seeing it as a threat....I teared up after seeing the Earth at the end!!!:)

    G.... K....

    Is the idea of some people trying tu put FEAR in their minds because you are...different hahaha!!!Unfortunaltly some people got that wrong idea man!!

    G.... K....

    @Daniel Lucena
    Well....I see what hordes of arab immigrants do to my country. Sorry for not wanting more

  50. G.... I....

    Wow!, never hear this song!,...I jump into amazon and voila! Gracias!

    G.... I....

    Gustavo Ibarra It’s not on Amazon, it’s an unreleased song from Duran Duran’s Astronaut album

  51. M.... ....

    Amazing video and song!

  52. G.... B....

    A forgotten DD classic

  53. M.... ....

    Love it great song!!

  54. b.... ....

    As we say in New England, this song is wicked pissah--awesome beyond belief :)

  55. c.... s....

    Really nice job with the video Bewitched422! Love it.

  56. S.... W....

    Why they have never released this I will never know cos this song is brilliant. I hope we get a new album very soon and a tour would be great.

  57. M.... V....

    yeah dude, i heard better from them. Good, but not their absolute best.

  58. t.... ....

    Low flying? Are you serious? And you 'love DD since 1980'? I'm in agreement with John...Beautiful Colours is simply amazing!

  59. M.... V....

    ok, that's one big statement... i don't hear that much, though i love DD since 1980. very good song, but fairly low-flying compared to others.

  60. J.... F....

    Great song though. Duran Duran can write some unbelievably good songs and have cut some great records. Just wish they could keep the momentum from one good record to the next. I've found something to like about all of their albums. All You Need is Now may very well be their best and one of the best albums I've ever heard. Hoping DD and Mark Ronson will keep that magic going and play some big venues in the US as opposed to wineries. Hope they're proud of their career cause they should be.

  61. J.... F....

    While I may not agree with the wording, I kind of agree that the rainbow has been hijacked and I don't have good thoughts when I see one now. I live near San Francisco and the gay community is militant, rude and effective at acting like the world is against them. They enjoy higher levels of education and income than the average person yet they act like the cops are standing outside their door with a firehose. I'm tired of it and tired of the parades that turn into nothing but dirty sex fests

  62. m.... ....

    Sometimes the beauty of this song seems unbearable to me :)

  63. T.... O....

    Yeah, that "lift" to the second chorus is just beautiful. We play it live in our cover band and it always gets lots of kudos from people who hear it.

  64. J.... R....

    1:39 to 2:39 are among the greatest 60 seconds of music this band has ever, and will ever make. Simon is killing it. Nick and Andy shining with John and Roger in the back. Simply amazing.

  65. s.... s....

    Duran Duran, get going better and better :)

  66. d.... ....

    FUCKING BRILLIANT!

  67. J.... L....

    love the flower opening around the 1:40 mark

  68. J.... L....

    Jackie1, I agree with everything you said...Perfect..

  69. J.... L....

    one of the BEST songs ever made....BEAUTIFUL is right

  70. p.... ....

    depends on what radio you are listening to...Internet radio gives them a LOT of love (google "radio creme brulee" for a station that gives Duran Duran loads of love - plays a lot of the post-reunion material).

  71. s.... ....

    Why was this not on Astronaut.. some real duff tracks on 'side 2' of that record

  72. W.... ....

    Best song ever and what a bass line!

  73. r.... ....

    should have been released as a single would have been a smash

  74. A.... D....

    Excellent song!!!

  75. W.... ....

    I remember them playing this when i saw them at the M.E.N Arena on their comback tour , and thought this song will be a hit, wow it never even made it onto the Astronaut album, WEIRD!

  76. p.... ....

    Is from a bootleg CD or is there a way to legally buy?

  77. G.... W....

    @un4gettablefire1 i totally agree i love this song cant believe they didnt make it an official song :(

  78. i.... c....

    beautiful colors isn't a church

  79. i.... c....

    the video is ugly

  80. s.... ....

    dang it...Muse got that honor. Argh. Oh well.

  81. C.... ....

    Beautiful song.

  82. g.... t....

    nice news:)

  83. 1.... ....

    We may get to hear this song for the Olympics. Duran Duran just announced that they will be playing at the Olympics!

  84. J.... ....

    best song ever!

  85. k.... l....

    I AGREE!!! Just a beautiful song...so uplifting!!!

  86. k.... ....

    I loved this song from the moment I heard it live on the 78-03 tour in Cleveland. It's a crime it was left off Astronaut.

  87. K.... M....

    Wow, I can't believe I haven't heard this before..such a beautiful song. Love how the song and the video compliment one another; great job!!

  88. j.... l....

    I've never heard this spng, I love it. And I love Astronaut. It's in my car. I've never taken it out of my car in all the time I've had it.

  89. s.... ....

    @brchris69 I totally agree, a top ten, if not five, of all time favorite D2 songs. Why they never released it is beyond me!

  90. g.... t....

    Yes, this would be such a great song for the Olympics

  91. g.... t....

    What a beautiful song!Duran Duran has never failed to fascinate me!

  92. a.... h....

    I agree with this as the athem for the 2012 Olympics. If not the next World Cup of soccer.

  93. 4.... ....

    @hipsam33 waving from Australia :) cant wait for them to come here in march yyeeeepppppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  94. f.... ....

    Nice song. There is a small part of the chorus that reminds me of American science.

  95. O.... ....

    @vereskification The filth is you.

  96. i.... ....

    pro american shit. i mean the vidio not the song.

  97. w.... ....

    what a fucking great song

  98. D.... ....

    Yes... Duran Duran are definitely better than pretty much everyone who gets airplay.

  99. J.... I....

    Duran Duran are too damn good for the radio--it pisses me off that they do NOT get the airplay they deserve--you got other music played to death and really not that good---Duran Duran--MOST under rated---I loved them and always have! Plus they are hot too :) what more could ya ask for??? :)
