100 favourite songs: #69: "Colors And The Kids" - Cat Power

Piano and vocal only, “Colors And The Kids” sounds like glass, shivering — narrow, upright slivers, catching the light and reflecting all the colours of the spectrum. (If that seems an unlikely image, well, that’d be because you can’t see how the world looks and sounds to me.) Should I ever manage to see her live, it’s for this song that I’ll most be hanging out.
