Letra de
Kodachrome

A música Kodachrome, composta por Paul Simon, fala sobre a nostalgia e as lembranças coloridas da juventude através do uso da fotografia. O título faz referência ao Kodachrome, um tipo de filme fotográfico produzido pela Kodak. Simon reflete sobre como as fotografias mantêm nossas memórias em cores vivas, contrastando com a realidade muitas vezes menos colorida. A canção também comenta ironicamente sobre a educação formal versus os aprendizados d ... a vida. Ver mais [+]

When I think back
on all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
You give us those nice bright colors
You give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew
when I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white
Kodachrome
You give us those nice bright colors
You give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (away)
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
(Leave your boy so far from home)
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (away)
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome whewwwwww
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (away)
