Sky Blue Philosophy (Singer / Songwriter Video Version).mp4
LYRICS
Why is the sky blue
And the grass green
Do you know what I mean
Do you?
Is the blue seen by you
The same as seen
In my scene
Do you know what I mean
Do you?
Does the truth hold true
All living being
Do you know what I mean
Do you?

This song is about philosophy and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Remarks on Colour (German: Bemerkungen über die Farben) is a collection of notes by Ludwig Wittgenstein on Goethe’s Theory of Colours. The work consists of Wittgenstein’s reactions to Goethe’s thinking, and an attempt to clarify the use of language about colour. Believing that philosophical puzzles about colour can only be resolved through attention to the involved language-games, Wittgenstein distinguishes between the science of optics, as developed by Newton, and Goethe’s phenomenology of colour, remarking that:
“Goethe’s theory of the origin of the spectrum isn’t a theory of its origin that has proved unsatisfactory; it is really not a theory at all. Nothing can be predicted by means of it. It is, rather, a vague schematic outline, of the sort we find in James’s psychology. There is no experimentum crucis for Goethe’s theory of colour.”
