Er titlen på Tina Dickows album fra 2010… Jeg har altid været en kæmpe fan af Tina Dickow – og har mange af hendes melankolske, triste, længselsfulde sange dybt inde under huden…
“Welcome Back Colour” markerede et skift for Tina Dickows musik. Hun var flyttet fra Londons ensomhed tilbage til København sommeren 2010 (heraf sangen “Copenhagen”) – og jeg mindes et interview med hende, hvor hun talte om, at hun måske ville blive for “lykkelig” og glad af at leve i Danmark, at hun oprigtigt var bekymret for, om hun stadig kunne skabe den samme musik, i og med hun var flyttet.
Velkommen nye liv
Jeg tog flytningen – og de nye, mere glade numre, som et kærkomment tegn på forandring, på udvikling – og det er vel okay at vi som mennesker flytter os, selvom vores omgivelser ofte fastholder os i den rolle, vi altid har haft.
Sidste forår var jeg selv igennem mit livs største transformationsproces. Et farvel til trygt, fast arbejde bag computerskærmen, og et goddag til en mere kreativ, farverig, reflekteret og bevidst livsstil.

“Welcome Back Colour”
Is the title of the Danish sing and songwriter Tina Dickow’s album from 2010… I’ve always been a huge fan of Tina Dico – and have many of her melancholy, sad, wistful songs deep under my skin…
“Welcome Back Colour” marked a shift for Tina Dickow’s music. She had moved from London loneliness back to Copenhagen the summer of 2010 – and I remember an interview with her, where she talked about that she might was going to be too “happy ” and fond of living in Denmark, that she truly was concerned if she could still create the same music after she had moved.
Welcome new life
I took the move – and the new, more upbeat, positive tracks, as a welcome sign of change, of development – and it is surely right that we as people move us even though our surroundings often maintain us in the role we have always had.
Last spring I went through my life’s greatest transformation process. A farewell to steady work behind the computer, and a hello to a more creative, colorful, reflective and conscious lifestyle.
