Last night, My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James took to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to deliver a solo rendition of the band’s song “In Color.” James, dimly lit by distant single bulb lights, had only a microphone and acoustic guitar on stage, giving the performance an intimate and deeply personal feel.

An empty drum kit that was passed in frame before finding James silently invited the listener to hone in on his crisp lyrics. “You gotta believe it looks better in color/ All the spectrum appears/ There’s more to life/ Than just black and white/ So many shades in between/ Yeah, there’s more to life/ Than what’s yours or what’s mine/ Oh, and I wish everyone could agree.” The final line was sung with defined perpetuity.

The song comes off My Morning Jacket’s October 2021 self-titled album. The offering served as the band’s first full release of new material since 2015’s The Waterfall. “The whole reason we’re doing this is to spread love and to have fun. That’s the heart of it all. So I say, ‘Let’s try and all echo that for each other, as audience members and as band members. Let’s try and let go of some of this preciousness and some of these concerns and just be vehicles of love for each other.’ We are just trying to cultivate as much good energy as we can,” James said of the project in an interview with Relix.
