✦Orange is the only color in the rainbow named after an object — the fruit came first, and the color got its name from it in the late 1500s.
✦It's the color most linked to warmth, comfort, and enthusiasm — psychologists associate it with feelings of excitement and emotional energy.
✦Orange sits right between red's intensity and yellow's joy on the spectrum — which is why it's often described as "passion without the danger."
✦Sunsets get their orange hue from a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering, where shorter blue wavelengths scatter away, leaving the warmer tones behind.
✦In color psychology, orange is considered the most "social" color — associated with conversation, connection, and approachability.
✦Orange is famously hard to rhyme in English — much like that feeling when words fail you around someone new.
✍ what this song means to me
[ fill in below ]
I wrote and recorded this one about 3 years ago. I was doing a lot of song commissions for song gifts and it really made me expand my vocals and writing. I learned how to let go of perfection and just have fun with it and how to make a good song. I wanted to do a record where I really try to sing SING! So I found this beat, turned the autotune up, and started messing around with cadences and melodies. Next thing you know I had a full song that I never released. Until now! This one is about that new love feeling, that first spark when you meet somebody you know you're going to love. orange hues.

📜 lyrics
[chorus]
Orange hues citrus heights
Yellow skies sleepless nights
You're on my tongue then you're out of sight
My lungs were filled with your paradise
Hold me close just for tonight
[verse 1]
Maybe we could fly away stay here forget yesterday
Maybe we could slow it down
I know your heart is slowing down
I can see through the hurt and the pain
It's okay
[chorus]
Orange hues citrus heights
Yellow skies sleepless nights
You're on my tongue then you're out of sight
My lungs were filled with your paradise
Hold me close just for tonight
[verse 2]
She ain't ever had a love like this
She ain't ever had the trust like this (Like this)
No not like this
Baby I could take you (I could take you to a place)
Where you never been before
[chorus]
It's orange hues citrus heights
Yellow skies sleepless nights
(Oh sleepless nights)
You're on my tongue then you're out of sight
My lungs were filled with your paradise
Hold me close just for tonight
