Story Behind The Song
The title of the first album was a favorite color, Purple. Orange was to be the title track of the follow-up release.
Kevin and Bridget were then a couple and wrote this song together to celebrate their blossoming affair.
Song Description
Orange is Bridget's 2nd favorite color. Kevin began writing a song, and Bridget worked the lyrics around that color and vibration. At that time there was all the optimism and positivity two people could want, and it's channeled into the music.

Lyrics
In every song I've written for you
Lies a different way to look inside my mind...you really want to know?
When other people just ignore me, and then pretend they know me well
You find a way to make the blackness come out white
And every thing is YOU
If what you say is true
You loved me BEFORE I knew you
And why in the world would I go through my life all alone
Without loving you, it's clear
I wouldn't know what else to do.
And I'm not looking to be free from pain
But I'm pretending that I am
I'm crumpled up and thrown inside this crazy life
But everything is YOU
If what you say is true
You loved me BEFORE I knew you
And why in the world would I go through my life all alone
Without loving you, it's clear
I wouldn't know what else to do
Knowing forever more that HERE you are and HERE you are
Nothing will change this day
There's orange in the air
Listen 'cuz here's my thing
There's marigolds in the song I sing
Sunsets and Tengerine
