Rainbow 2021 remix.
Dedicated to Amelia Earhart, her bravery and her memory.
On the morning of July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, took off from Lae, New Guinea, on one of the last legs in their historic attempt to circumnavigate the globe. Their next destination was Howland Island in the central Pacific Ocean, some 2,500 miles away. A U.S. Coast Guard cutter, the Itasca, waited there to guide the world-famous aviator in for a landing on the tiny, uninhabited coral atoll.

But Earhart never arrived on Howland Island. Battling overcast skies, faulty radio transmissions and a rapidly diminishing fuel supply in her twin-engine Lockheed Electra plane, she and Noonan lost contact with the Itasca somewhere over the Pacific. Despite a search-and-rescue mission of unprecedented scale, including ships and planes from the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard scouring some 250,000 square miles of ocean, they were never found.
In its official report at the time, the Navy concluded that Earhart and Noonan had run out of fuel, crashed into the Pacific and drowned. A court order declared Earhart legally dead in January 1939, 18 months after she disappeared. From the beginning, however, debate has raged over what actually happened on July 2, 1937 and afterward. Several alternate theories have surfaced, and many millions of dollars have been spent searching for evidence that would reveal the truth of Earhart’s fate.

Rainbow
You know your colours light up all my funny phases
Magenta and blue is how I feel about you
Every nuance, every shade I know you’ve been there
Paint your face a picture in the air…I fail, I fail…I’ve failed again
Cos you’re a rainbow
All the colours of the rainbow
You’re a rainbow
A shimmering rainbow
Dressed in crimson, wearing gold I know you’ve been there
Black is back but you don’t care…really, I’m pale, so pale
And you’re a rainbow
All the colours of the rainbow
You’re a rainbow
A shimmering rainbow
You know your colours shine into the darkest places
Bright yellow may choose to share the light around you
As you flow to indigo…I fade, I fade…I fade away
Cos you’re a rainbow
All the colours of the rainbow
You’re a rainbow
A shimmering rainbow
With its original members, this Australian - German early 1980’s cult band is back in business. Only a handful of German
bands from any era have managed releases in the U.K., USA and most of Europe without actually landing a hit. Nervous Germans achieved this with bravado, signing to Vertigo in Germany, releasing albums and singles on Rondolet in Britain and Shatter Records in the States....more
