Extreme

"Candle in the Wind" is a song with music by Elton John and lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It was originally written in 1973, in honor of Marilyn Monroe, who had died 11 years earlier. In 1997, John performed a remake of the song as a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales. This version of the song was released as a single, and reached No. 1 in many countries, proving a much greater success than the original. The original version in the key of E major appeared on John's 1973 album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Read more on Last.fm.

Color me blind
Color me blind
I had a dream that
That I was blind
And I couldn't see
See color of any kind
Picture the world, minus a rainbow
When day becomes night, then where will the sun go
Dancing alone, just me and my shadow
Color me blind, so I can see no evil
Why do we dream in black and white?
Color me blind
Why do we dream in black and white?
Color me blind
I had a dream
I was looking over the mountain
But I've, I've yet to see the
The so called Promised Land
Picture the world, without any color
You couldn't tell one face from the other
I don't understand, why we fight with our brother?
Color me blind just to love one another
Why do we dream in black and white?
Color me blind
Why do we dream in black and white?
Color me blind
Why do we dream in black and white?
Color me blind
Why do we dream in black and white?
Blind
Color me blind
Color me blind
Picture the world, minus a rainbow
When day becomes night, then where will the sun go
Dancing alone, just me and my shadow
Color me blind, so I can see no evil
Picture the world, without any color
You couldn't tell one face from the other
I don't understand, why we fight with our brother?
Color, color me blind
Why do we dream in black and white?
Color me blind
Why do we dream in black and white?
Color me blind
Why do we? Why do we? Why do we?
Color me blind
Why do we? Why do we? Why do we?
Color me blind
Color me, color you
Color me blind
Color me, color you
Color me blind

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
