Okay, so a few months ago I ran across a song by Annie Lennox. I don't know about you, but I LOVE her music. She is one of those 80's icons!

Anyway, here new video and song "Shining light" SCREAMS Rainbow Brite to me.
I just love the colours!

What do you think?

There's one by a bubblegum dance act (my favorite genre!), called Djumbo, from their album called Magic, and the songs called Magic Beat. It always reminds me of rainbow brite. : )

It may not totally fit Rainbow Brite, but it kind of feels like a song that would pay after the final climax of some new epic Rainbow Brite movie.


I heard it on Psych this morning and fell in love with it.



A Good Day by Priscilla Ahn.

The Genki Rockets, definitely.

I listened to A LOT of Kronos Quartet when I wrote Brians Demise

Yeah there isn't a whole lot of stuff that seems to capture the essence properly is there...something is either too dark...or too skanky...or too whatever lol Starvoyager has a ton of songs that mention rainbows saved on his drive tho that when I hear them actually feel semi suiting. Not all of them but some.

Most of my favorite stuff is dark or hard rock... so certainly no Rainbow-esque reminders there!

As for the song in the original post: it's all right, but I really couldn't bring myself to listen to the whole thing... it got to me after awhile.

Well... dunno just how "modern" is considered modern, but here's the best songs I've come across.

Brian Wilson - Rainbow Eyes
Europe - Rainbow Warrior
Luca Turilli - War of the Universe
Dio - Rainbow in the Dark
Dio - Hide in the Rainbow
Rolling Stones - She's Like a Rainbow
Glenn Miller - I Know Why
Manowar - Master of the Wind
Ayreon - Across the Rainbow Bridge
Cyndi Lauper - True Colors
Dune - Rainbow to the Stars

I also think of Murky everytime I hear "Paint it Black." (It's been covered by a dozen bands... pick your fav)

And... I haven't found it yet, but there simply must be something by Pink Floyd that works.
