Album: Mr. Fantasy, 1967
This hard 'n' heavy prototype led the way to many a great jam, notably 'Whipping Post' by the Allmans and 'You Keep me Hanging On' by Vanilla Fudge.

the Traffic of dreams and aspirations:
Stevie Winwood: Organ with bass pedals, FIERY vocals
Dave Mason: Guitar
Chris Wood: Alto Sax
Jim Capaldi: Drums. Timely attacks and excellent pattern changes.

Yesterday I was a young boy, searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted, living life from day to day
Till you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain
Feels like coloured rain, tastes like coloured rain
Bring on coloured rain, yeah
I can see the sail of changing, filling with surprise
United with a feeling, bringing love into my eyes
Till you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain
Feels like coloured rain, tastes like coloured rain
Bring on coloured rain, yeah, yeah, oh, oh
