An Ordinary Rainbow - Seeing beauty in ordinary things

Описание: This music video explores the overlooked beauty in everyday life, using the metaphor of an ordinary rainbow. The song reflects on how common wonders lose their magic through familiarity and challenges us to rediscover awe in the mundane—from fireflies at dusk to the morning dawn. A reminder to pause, look closer, and find the hidden gold in what we take for granted.

Lyrics (c) Marc Glasby

It was an ordinary rainbow, seen many times before,
an ordinary rainbow, that most found quite a bore.
As common as a rainy day, something to just ignore,
not a thing of wonder, that we should all adore.
just an ordinary rainbow, seen many times before.

A double rainbow might mean more, for they are much more rare
but this was just a rainbow, of colours hanging there.
No one took a second look, it didn't catch their eye,
just another rainbow, hanging in the sky.

A rainbow's ends are rooted, in pots of shining gold,
at least that is the story, that we are always told.
but we're so used to rainbows now, they don't fill us with awe,
their magic is now lost to us, not like in times before.

There's many things like rainbows, that we no longer see,
their magic lost in daily grind, they're fading gradually.
The fireflies that light the dusk, the dew upon the thorn,
the stars up in the sky at night, the morning’s breaking dawn

So I make a simple promise, standing looking at that arc,
that I will stop and see the beauty, that is the eternal spark.
To pause again and see the colours, not just look and walk away,
to find the gold that lies so hidden, in a lump of common clay.
To find the joy and feel the wonder, of an ordinary day.

A rainbow's ends are rooted, in pots of shining gold,
at least that is the story, that we are always told.
But the gold is in the seeing, in the heart that's open wide,
the magic isn't lost at all, it's waiting there inside.

Just an ordinary rainbow... Shining, new there in the sky,
it is a thing of beauty, a real treasure to the eye.
Don't dismiss the things around you, just because they're always there,
see them all for what they offer, like that rainbow in the air.
see them all for what they really are, like that rainbow in the air.
