    "Sumita has this playful, child-like sound in her vocal...this song ['Money Tree Spider'] is a beaut, quirky and fresh...I don't think there is anyone like this in the music industry right now!" ~ Polly James (Absolute Radio Presenter), November 2012

lyrics

You built those obstacles between us; I told you they ruined the view,
But still I tried to see through, through to you;
Guess I didn’t realise, yet again,
That you were colourblind to who I was back then

You’re blind, you’re blind to my kaleidoscope colours,
Colours too bright for your closed eyes and your closed mind,
And your closed sense of sensitivity;
I’ve tried, I’ve tried to show you my reality,
But each time I tried, you got mad at me
Well seasons may change,
But my colours will stay the same through my kaleidoscope

Autumn leaves will paint a rainbow through a tunnel of frosted glass,
With spiderwebs defining symmetry;
My asymmetrical past doesn’t bother me anymore,
Now that I know what I want to live for,
So how can you assume my personality when my reality’s worth so much more?

You’re blind, you’re blind to my kaleidoscope colours,
Colours too bright for your closed eyes and your closed mind,
And your closed sense of sensitivity;
I’ve tried, I’ve tried to show you my reality,
But each time I tried, you got mad at me
Well seasons may change,
But my colours will stay the same through my kaleidoscope

You couldn’t see through my kaleidoscope,
So I offered you a periscope,
But you built more walls and corners around me,
You still couldn’t see,
So I made you a telescope,
Just to offer you a little more hope,
But you couldn’t see beyond,
Wish I could make a magic wand
To get you to see like me

But you’re blind, you’re blind to my kaleidoscope colours,
Colours too bright for your closed eyes and your closed mind,
And your closed sense of sensitivity;
I’ve tried, I’ve tried to show you my reality,
But each time I tried, you got mad at me
Well seasons may change,
But my colours will stay the same through my kaleidoscope.
