Almost 30 years ago my wife and I went to Europe on a tour with a group. It was a motor coach tour. We flew into London and spent a couple of days there, then rode a motor coach down to Dover, took a ferry across the channel to Belgium, and then picked up another motor coach and rode all throughout Western Europe for ten days.
It was a great trip. We were with a group of hearing impaired people, so my wife interpreted most of the time. I sat and messed with my gadgets that I had brought. One of the main gadgets that I had brought was a digital Walkman with AM/FM radio.
I had my audio tapes and I was ready to listen to some music. And I was so excited to get to listen to European radio. Sadly, my digital tuner only went in two tenths steps of frequencies and was tuned to the odd tenths so that it could tune in 94.1, 95.5, 104.7 and the like. I learned when we got over there that European FM radio is set to the even tenths of frequencies, and so everything I listened to was fuzzy if I could actually listen to it at all.
Through the static, yeah, that song FM, no static at all was not true. But through the static I did get to listen to some songs and some different things. One of the songs that I heard over there was the song The Color Inside.
I had not heard the song in America before we left, and I didn't really hear it after we got back from the trip, but it was hot in Europe. It was all over every radio frequency that I could almost listen to, and it was a good dance tune.
I really enjoyed it. I captured it on my eight millimeter camcorder to try and find later.
25 or so years later I did find it online and found two or three different versions of it. It's a really good song that says that we all have a color that we live inside. I still enjoy listening to it.
