“Put those colors on girl, come and paint the world with me tonight.”
One of my favorite songs on Kesha’s new album is Rainbow. It’s all about finding the colors in the darkness and finding happiness after things have been hard.
My favorite line is, “This kitty cat lost her mind, been looking for a star sent sign that I’ll be alright, look to the skies.”
Don’t get me wrong, I am not a very religious person.
But even I can’t deny that there is something out there watching over us all. Sometimes there’s just an undeniable energy surrounding me that even I can’t ignore. Lately that energy has been sending me nothing but positive vibes.
I find myself singing randomly often, or wanting to actually get out of the house and do things. I can imagine a future, which was something I struggled with before.
Kesha’s Rainbow helped me with that.
Recently I did a little photo shoot with my sister Kimberly and I really wanted to use my new prism! I have no idea how to really use it, but I specifically brought it to practice. It was super hard to get right, but when I held it up just right, it created an amazing rainbow over her eye.
And I felt that sensation all over again.
That energy was around me and telling me that everything was going to be okay.
And I know that I’m still fucked up
But aren’t we all, my love?
Darling, our scars make us who we are, are
So when the winds are howling strong
And you think you can’t go on, hold tight, sweetheart
We are all looking for our rainbow.
Looking for signs that the hardships are truly temporary and that life will get better. My signs came in the form of music and a photography prism. So if you are having a hard time, I would look for your signs anywhere. They can come at any time, within anything.
“Come and paint the world with me tonight.”

I recently went through some hard times myself and this song means so much to me. I always enjoy praying.
I always enjoy praying too! I always need to try to belt out her high note!
Thanks for sharing this song and your own insight, it was a beautiful read. I haven’t really gotten into Kesha’s song, but after reading this. I might check out her album to see what other offerings there are.
I love the style of your page, first of all. I’ve never been a huge fan of Kesha but I’m willing to check this song out!
Thank you! I work really hard everyday to make it great! And yeah you should! It is a really great album.
So true and rightly said. I am not religious too but I believe in the universe and the power of positivity. Kesha’s praying helped me alot.
Praying makes me cry every single time I listen to it. Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! Such a powerful song, and you can hear all of the emotion in her voice! She is such a strong woman!
Such a lovely song and like how you have tied in a rainbow on your sisters face! It’s looks so nice.
Yeah the new prism worked out beautifully!
