the sound of brown

John Coltrane, My Little Brown Book, 1962

When meditating on the question "What does Brown sound like?" I came time and again to this song. It meanders, swells, and loops. The artist Defetto perfectly captures the essence of the song and of the colour. What does Brown sound like? It sounds like "My Little Brown Book," only as played by 'Trane, though.

Here are Duke Ellington's Lyrics:

My little brown book
With the silver binding
How it keeps reminding me
Of a memory
That's haunting me.
In some quiet nook
I go through its pages
And peruse this ageless tale
Of a love that failed
To ever become true.
On this page is the date
Of that fateful night at eight
When I found you were no longer in love.
After that there's nothing more
Just a dark and futile door
That shuts out the stars above.
In my little book I inscribed your heart vow
But since we're apart now
This and that last sweet kiss
Is all that's left of you
Is all that's left of you.
