Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
Another psychedelic flavoured song by The Lazarus Ladders.
Lyrics
Colourful And Fabulous (David A Briggs) c 2022 [The Lazarus Ladders] Let's be colourful, let's be fabulous, let's cast a spell, like ... 'Abracadaborous', My skies are purple, yellow and green, let's be outrageous, let's be part of the scene ... let's take a sip, let's take a trip, oh, let it slip ... It's always tea-time in the land of dreams, you can't leave the table 'til you've eaten your 'greens', Pour me a cup from the samovar, and play me a tune on your small guitar ... cast me adrift on a foamy sea, in a sieve the colour of a milk-maid's knee, Up in the sky, I can see him smile, I'll be quite happy here for a while ... sail away, for a year, and a day ... let me float away ... let me float away ... let me float away ... Dreamy psychedelic dream sequence ... Let's be colourful, let's be fabulous, let's cast a spell, like ... Abracadaborous, My skies are purple, orange and green, let's be outrageous, let's be part of a scene ... (now go to sleep and dream pleasant dreams, it's been a long strange trip girls and boys ) ...

Rhyming 'samovar', with 'small guitar', always make me smile. "eight maids a milking", is a kindly reference to an album title by my very good friend Jesus Oldman. Check out his vast collection of songs / albums here on Soundclick.

Awesome 60s vibe David! Fantastic psychedelic feel - especially with that vocal echo.

Nice tune. Like the jangling. I also hear shades of steely Dan. Any major dude or one of the tunes on pretzel logic. Escapes me now.

Great arrangement - takes us on a very colourful trip :)) Love the effects and the overall psychedelic flavour. Very inventive & highly entertaining. I like the way it takes us back to a time when there seemed to be more hope. Excellent performance & production.

Got the headphones on and definitely floating and drifting ! The lyrics are perfectly psychedelic and The middle sequence is described perfectly dreamy psychedelic! Youve got psychedelia nailed ! Amazing instrumentation again David and your vocals suit it perfectly. Love how it drifts away at the end and yes Im still in a dream ! Brilliant and inventive work David !

Another wonderful undiscovered gem from the Lazarus Ladders! If I could remember the 60s I'm sure this would be a happy memory... but of course anybody who can remember those days wasn't having a good enough time! Far out man!
