[D]What colour is the wind, Daddy,,[G]
Is it yellow, red or [D]blue,,[G] When he's playing with my [Bm]hair, Daddy Does he do the same to [A]you When he's dying does his [G]colour fade Is a gentle breeze [D]a lighter [Bm]shade Just like his friend the [A]sea The[A7] wind feels blue to[D] me,,[A] When the blackbird starts to sing, Daddy Do the flowers hear him, too When he's pouring out his heart, Daddy Tell me, what do roses do Do they cast their scent upon the air And is fragrance just a rose in prayer Giving thanks to God above For the blackbird's song of love Chorus [G]Blow, wind, [D]blow [A]Wild and [D]free [G]My Daddy [D]says You're a [A]lot like [D]me [A]I know each colour Its [G]shape and [D]size [A]I've seen them all With my [A7]Daddy's [D]eyes,,[Em] I know that grass is green, Daddy I've touched it with my toes And snow is purest white, Daddy I've felt it with my nose But my favorite colour has to be The colour of your love for me And Daddy, I've been told That love is always gold Repeat the chorus My Daddy says You're a lot like me What colour is the wind |

Interview with Charlie Landsborough
Charlie Landsborough You're very welcome indeed. Oh, it's great to be here with you, thanks, mate. You're looking very dapper as well, which has never been said of me very often. You know you're turning out very well these days, thanks to me. Charlie's business has been great considering the hard times were in, you know, yeah, we've been all around the UK just recently. You just finished your tour; haven't you finished in Belfast last Monday? Nice yeah, and were you all around Ireland as well? We did, but we only did a week there, which is unusual for me because I've been going back and forth from Ireland ever since they got me broke all those years ago. Yeah, but a short but wonderful break last night. I was there and I became great friends with their Tony, Eleanor, fussing Ellen, and they invited me there in the first place. I always remember the first trip over, when I came in fear and trepidation.
thinking an Englishman going into Ireland you know and I was there like a day and I realized how stupid that was and yeah i was just playing in little pubs and things but there was a lovely funny story which came out of it i played i went into the palace bar and Athlon which is run by a great friend of ours and their plane was Seamus Shannon a wonderful according accordion player and a great act himself and he says had two famous people have just walked in our own Tony Allen and the marvelous singer-songwriter from Liverpool he said Charlie land straight and of course nobody dared me and nobody knew me and I sat down and they were all saying Charlie who you know they'd all had Tony obviously and this bloke sat next to me we had a lovely conversation and a couple of pints and as he said to me charlie is that right he wrote the songs I said I wrote song he said what did you write and I said they're all part of me I will love you all my life and he said you sure I've never heard of them I said it doesn't matter because I'm not a small
offender that's okay you know he got up to go and as he was halfway to the door he stopped and he turned now he said god bless you Charlie Landry said I enjoyed your company very much have a marvelous holiday in Ireland and next time you write a song with your writer bloody sound I've heard of I thought I've arrived at the right place that ever since you definitely definitely and early career what was your early career well life I did a whole host of jobs while I was sort of making me wait gradually to where I am now but I just played in local pubs and things in fact I played in one pub in the dockside the Bergen had for 22 years which must be some sort of a record absolutely but all the way along the line I was writing overnight time and hoping upon hope that some musical fairy godmother would come and rescue me and were you combining this with the day job then as well I was I did a whole succession of jobs I mean I've been a Navi I've been a driver I've been down and outs have been in the Army.

Charlie Landsborough lyrics ''What Colour Is The Wind
laughs it's a fantastic you know if if you are a reminding people of the good Lord that's much absolutely and I don't take exception to that US oil I'm dead they did a funny thing actually I did a game show in Dublin and they had two pianos if I get the name of it but there was a pianist in the middle and two celebrities a boy and a girl either side of it and I was one of the celebrities and the following day in the Irish independence it had this wonderful Haggard face of me you know the honker and it said Artie pull off a coup last night they managed to Sebring on board the cheering shroud but that's exactly what I looked like on it you know ya know I take that as a compliment but it's great and now you're a super songwriter and you thank you massive hits for lots of different people tell us some of the people you've written for well the nice thing of that came above through the song right there's the people that I've met I mean there and I've become since become great friends with people like
Daniel O'Donnell: Lovely people, fast an island. George Hamilton, the fourth Jack Jones and a lot of the ice, just like Dominic Kerwin and that married off in fact a lot of my success sort of stemmed from my yeah than the idea and it must be a great boost when top artists like that will take your songs and record them well so he once said to me a long time back he can't consider yourself a songwriter till other people like your songs enough to for them to record thankfully now that's happened because when I started out I didn't really have any self belief in my ability to write anything yeah and I sent a song across the Atlantic to somebody in America thinking well Italy laugh at it nobody's gonna know about it back home you know but I got this glowing thing back saying Charlie we loved a song we've placed it in Nashville and that gave me great encouragement and it's wonderful when somebody else deems your song good you know for space especially people of the statute of Daniel yeah first time now and go on record it it's lovely to hear
their sort of interpretation of your song exactly, Charlie We'll take a little break. We'll be back after this. Welcome back. We're talking to international recording star Charlie Landsborough. welcome back Charlie It's great to be here. The Christmas period would have been busy for you, but in a very nice way because, like most people, I spent it with my family and I've got five grandkids now, whom I absolutely adore. I said I've looked like a grandparent; I told myself, Now I am one five times over. It's all about power from the good Lord Himself; it's about family, isn't it? Yeah, now how many children have you got, Charlie? I've got three grown sons, you know, they're getting on a bit now, you know, not as long as me, but now just one of the let's play in the band with you we'll be doing, I think, but two of them are in a band of their own, but it's a bit different than what I do it's a bit heavy and a bit bluesy and a bit rocky, you know, get fit in very well that's right.
Daniel O'Donnell: Lovely people, fast an island.

I might look like that, and one of the lads may join you. Then one of the lads, James, has years of experience as a fine acoustic guitar player and a fine singer in his own right, so I'm thinking of bringing them on board and having them do some harmonies with me. yeah Charlie What makes a good song? I think if you can write something that sort of everybody's experienced but put it in a new way so that whenever anybody hears it they think I know what he's talking about yeah and I think simplicity is the most difficult thing to achieve I mean you listen to wonderful songs like say smile for example hardly any lyrics there but it's everything that needs to be said is said in that short space and the accompany that with a wonderful melody and I think that's it now live on forever so my aspiration is to write something that good that people will want to sing you know under do each time a song yeah but it's very difficult to to categorize exactly what's going to work and what's nothing oh yeah so did
you ever think when you wrote what color is the wind that it would be such a massive massive hit no I did not at all I mean in fact it wasn't too sure of it I was given the title by the singer-songwriter from Blackpool and I went home I thought what a fantastic title this blind child that actually said to the father and I wrote the song and I played it to my middle son Alan who's very honest yeah sometimes bluntly honest and I said is this okay yeah and I played thee said yeah that's all right daddy said it's quite surreal like he'll be okay with that and then I played it and got this fantastic response to it and kept on playing it and ultimately that song and forever friend they did the trick for me and gave me this life that I'd sought all my life really I mean there were massive massive hits weren't they now I know about the same time that you wrote what color is the wind that became a massive massive hit in Ireland itself didn't it well it was Ireland that did the whole thing for me I mean, I had received yet another
rejection one of many down the years and I came away from the phone at home thinking I perhaps I should practice and I'm working on a bit and you know I haven't got it you know in this business you need good looks and use and I had neither you see so well maybe I should give it you know give it the heave-ho but the next day I thought no the only thing I can do well best gift God gave me his musical I'm gonna plug on and the only thing I could think of was are te and Dublin and I phoned the Pat Kenney show and asked rather tentatively would they be interested in having me and he said Charlie we've been trying to get you for about a month or so can you come this week and I went with just the guitar and I said two pedals I used to play with me fees sang two songs which has extended to show at the end to allow me to sing a second went home after a wonderful weekend in Dublin and the following week my son picked me up from school and said dad we're in the Irish charts and I said oh my 98 and I would have been delighted
you ever think when you wrote what color is the wind that it would be such a massive massive hit no I did not at all I mean in fact it wasn't too sure of it I was given the title by the singer-songwriter from Blackpool and I went home I thought what a fantastic title this blind child that actually said to the father and I wrote the song and I played it to my middle son Alan who's very honest yeah sometimes bluntly honest and I said is this okay yeah and I played thee said yeah that's all right daddy said it's quite surreal like he'll be okay with that and then I played it and got this fantastic response to it and kept on playing it and ultimately that song and forever friend they did the trick for me and gave me this life that I'd sought all my life really I mean there were massive massive hits weren't they now I know about the same time that you wrote what color is the wind that became a massive massive hit in Ireland itself didn't it well it was Ireland that did the whole thing for me I mean, I had received yet another

With that, because I'd never been a child in real life, he said, No, dad, you're number two. I was number one the following week and all of Ireland went out and bought that song so I'm eternally grateful to the artist people because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here what's for the future Charlie well I never looked too far ahead you know you've just celebrated your birthday I have do you dare want to tell us well I'll tell you I'm 69 years of age and I still feel like 69 years you know you look good freshness Velma well, she's delighted because for years while I was playing in the pub, she was shattered in the house mind and the kids in the dog and everything, and as this success arrived late, all the kids had grown, so now we'd yet set round the world, you know, doing
And the kids sat there and they said it's great what you and I moms do, yet certainly they're in every way, and they're looking after the kids and washing the dishes and looking after the dog with emotionless tissues, so she waited long enough and worked hard for it. Selma you know so it's good that she's able to enjoy it as well and she goes to a lot of the places with you doesn't she she goes everywhere yeah yeah can't shrug it off as well does she pick up the paycheck at the end or yes you get there first though we have a great time we meet fantastic people and I'm doing the thing that I love so I'm very very fortunate and I thank the Almighty every night for the gift that he gave me and the places it to take me to and I know you were very humble in the early stages because I remember Astoria think you had you had be told about the time when you were put into the the hotel for the first time by by the record company tells it about that well I couldn't believe it they put me into a Suites and we used to me and
found leaves to sleep in what we call the Volvo Hotel we couldn't afford there even like being bees and things and we thought we'd gone upmarket when we got a sleeping bag each you know so we thought we'd really arrived then but when I this success arrived and he put me in the Burlington Hotel in Dublin and this wonderful suite I kept walking in and out the other room he would never I said I'm gonna make the full use of this you know I might never get this again you know so even if I only walked in and sat in I thought well I was sweet you know and I remember sat on the bed and the little story at the time I think I told was about my father sat on the back step file and I hate me to put a miss shilling meter yeah at the time and I said that's wrong that Dad he shouldn't be doing that and he said Charlie saw and he said that I don't do this rule have any lights on and I was sort of telling him off and years later in this little two up and two down who was sat on the step filing his own ate me but me you know one looking up
themselves sorry what is that and she reminded me of Thelma remind me of that word, miss out on this very grand bed in this wonderful suite and the Burlington Hotel in Dublin, so it was fantastic man, it must be great now Charlie. going to venues and playing to audiences who have come to see you obviously but playing your original songs to an audience that absolutely just sits and takes it all in I don't think there's any nicer feeling than to create something that brings pleasure to other people and once you've done it through something you love yourself to create something that you know is such moved help lifted somebody I think that's the nicest drug in the world and once you've done it you want to continue to do it you know it's a real blessing and to go out every night and play to people who have gone out of the way got babysitters and taxis and things and come to see you perform songs that you I never thought was he related a you know is a it's an absolute jewel so what can we expect of Charley.
And the kids sat there and they said it's great what you and I moms do, yet certainly they're in every way, and they're looking after the kids and washing the dishes and looking after the dog with emotionless tissues, so she waited long enough and worked hard for it. Selma you know so it's good that she's able to enjoy it as well and she goes to a lot of the places with you doesn't she she goes everywhere yeah yeah can't shrug it off as well does she pick up the paycheck at the end or yes you get there first though we have a great time we meet fantastic people and I'm doing the thing that I love so I'm very very fortunate and I thank the Almighty every night for the gift that he gave me and the places it to take me to and I know you were very humble in the early stages because I remember Astoria think you had you had be told about the time when you were put into the the hotel for the first time by by the record company tells it about that well I couldn't believe it they put me into a Suites and we used to me and

Lansbury over the next couple of years well I hope no car accidents because I've just recently had one but well I just recorded recently recorded finished recording an album of completely of love songs other people's love songs which is to be released sometime in March or April or something like that so I'm looking forward to that even though I'm a bit sort of you know I'd like something of my own to be and these are cover versions of it true these are cover versions of great love songs why did you why did you go for that it wasn't me it was the record okay said they're trying to introduce me to a wire by Doris yes I don't know whether that's gonna work or not but yeah I've gone along with it because there's fantastic writers out there yeah so it's nice to pay homage to some of them and then the spring tour as we always do in an hour trip around the UK again in the autumn yeah and who knows you know back to Australia so where it's wonderful because you never know where the music will take you I mean I never dreamed
when I was sitting in the pub that one day I'd be Satya talking to you you know an testicle it does Australia of course you make you're making a big marker out there at the movement engine well I first went meant and I it coincided with Daniel's trip and Daniel was incredibly kind to me brought me on stage and introduce me to his audience and in fact we went through church one Sunday mornin and it was hilarious on the nighttime he says I can't do Daniel O'Donnell forgive me try that so he said do you know he says we went into chairs this morning he says and half the congregation nearly passed away they thought it was the Second Coming but Australia died love I love the space I love the climbers and most importantly of all the people the people first Aaron Allen Tony Allen said to me Charlie, they asked the Aussies are like the Irish in other ways: laid back, what you see-is-what you get you don't have to know somebody for two years to find out what they're all about. I just love the place; it's fantastic. Charlie
You're an artist who certainly hasn't had the success overnight, that's for sure. A lot of hard work has gone into you, and you've really had to work hard. What advice would you give a new budding writer? I would say to them be inspired by other people but strive to be your own person. Musically, it's great to take sort of influences from here, there, and everywhere; everybody's done it, me included; but then to strive to find something uniquely your own is all I'm used to; I used to admire, say, Dylan and the Beatles and all these wonderful writers, but then you think, Oh, I'm just Charlie . I'm not that, so I would say strive to be your own person. Musically, don't be put off by rejection because everybody's rejected me many times, but even people as great as Elvis Presley and the Beatles were rejected, so don't be disheartened by that, be yourself, don't lose her, and put a bit of faith in the man upstairs. Charlie Thank you so much for joining us. We wish you the very best for the year coming.
pleasure night I wish you a very happy and peaceful New Year, and thank you for listening. We hope the success continues, because if anyone deserves it, it's you. Thank you for joining us, and God bless you.
