FAWM: "Come Fly With Me"

Come Fly With Me

Liner Notes

Pausing from the rage, trying to focus on positive things and light...we all need some light now. I was messing with my Korg T3 and came up with the initial pad and thought that might sound cool over a drum&bass groove using Clyde Stubblefield loops. Kinda banged it out from there tonight. One of my life-themes is music as flight for the soul...when I'm skinnier I sometimes visually express this on stage wearing surplus flight suits LOL! Life's short, be weird and have fun...life is performance art...but anyway...music can cut through the baloney, take us soaring, unite our hearts as humans...this is the way.

Excuse the guitar solo, I need to redo that... :-p

EZ Drummer w/Clyde Stubblefield/Jabo Starks expansion

Lyrics

Earthbound
Shackled
Weight of the world on our shoulders
A means
Of escape
From a world that’s just growing colder

To be open
To something
Beyond our known horizon
A lifeboat
A starship
A transport for soul’s renewal

Way back from the mists of time
Ahead into the future - We can fly
On music’s wings
Through storms of uncertainty
Into a brighter tomorrow
Come fly
With me

Uniting
Our souls
Across the chasms of time and space
Music
Binds us
And takes us to the ultimate cosmic place

Way back from the mists of time
Ahead into the future - We can fly
On music’s wings
Through storms of uncertainty
Into a brighter tomorrow
Come fly
With me

Way back from the mists of time
Ahead into the future - We can fly
On music’s wings
Through storms of uncertainty
Into a brighter tomorrow
Come fly
With me

Way back from the mists of time
Ahead into the future - We can fly
On music’s wings
Through storms of uncertainty
Into a brighter tomorrow
Come fly
With me

Y'know, it's really too bad we didn't know each other growing up. I could have learned a great deal from you. No cap. Certain aspects of your music pushes my own approach (and I mean it when I say I learn from A LOT of FAWMers here). I like this message and your sense of optimism. I've done a rough draft of what the whole Jelly Invasion concept means and I probably won't be able to actualize it during FAWM, but you've conveyed the message here in full glory. This arrangement has so much happening and gives me this awesome Christopher Cross moment I recall from a performance of his some years ago. This has a special vibe to it, man.

Love the guitars tones throughout. Nice funky bass. I love the kinetic energy the drums are bringing to the tune. Great work

Clyde’s loops keep us grounded and grooving, while your kind of twinkly guitar riffs definitely convey fight in an upward movement. Of course your chord choices are always tasty and fascinating. Great sentiment that’s well sung, played, and produced. Good work!
