Balloon Man

Skirmish: Die Reise des Ballons (a ... (@momentegalerie)Lyrics
Oh yeah
That’s the balloon man
Sometimes it’s hard to see’em
He’s sorta carpe diem
Up there
Floating free without a care
Buzzards and butterflies
No lows only highs
He’s up there somewhere
Tryin’ on a cloud
Snippin’ off raindrops
To make ‘em fall down
Floatin’ on a thermal
In a pink balloon
He don’t know where he’s goin’
But he’ll get there soon
He’s just
A man with no because
Well, who can really fault
A man who lost it all?
After all,
Floating’s just swell
No one to lie or tell,
No one to care if you fell
He’s up there somewhere
Tryin’ on a cloud
Snippin’ off raindrops
To make ‘em fall down
Floatin’ eternal
In a pink balloon
He don’t know where he’s goin’
But he’ll get there soon

One of those - hold on, wait a minute - songs that has mixed emotions. Clever written and a wonderful performance.

This sounds so carefree and fun, yet parts are a bit dark and sad (no one to care if you fell…) Love the ukelele accompaniment as well!

What a carefree portrait you created, in both words and music. I especially liked “He’s sorta carpe diem.” What a great phrase!

Oh yeah some ukulele. Oh I like the melody 🌈 and your light and smooth playing and the chord progression. Made me nod my head.
