Liner Notes

#flyaway #skirmish #blacksabbath Inspired by Black Sabbath! (Didnt go with the "bits and pieces" theme at all...just Black Sabbath)

Lyrics

Fly Away

Please don’t look inside my head
My thoughts are way too dark
Please just let me stay in bed
The door is way too far

Saying things, I never said
My brain is badly scarred
My whole world is black and red
All the easy things are hard

Let me fly away
Let me fly away
Let me fly away
Let me fly away

(Break)

I often wish that I could change
Escape from who I am
Climb outside my mental cage
And find my Promised Land

Let me fly away
Let me fly away
Let me fly away
Let me fly away

Your vocals are perfect! Love the combination with the acoustic guitar. Lovely soundscape you created here!

I can absolutely see Ozzy singing this! The soaring chorus is so good.

Powerful and I almost missed that it does not have drums or electric guitars though it is proper Sabbath song as far as I am concerned (not a connoisseur though) as those would be unnecessary and probably way more powerful this way.

Really like the song, the production, the performance. Really good vocals!

Oh yeah, this is great! Love your vocals and nice accompanying music. I think the first two lines are very Black Sabbath, and also the 'My brain is badly scarred line'. Would be interesting to hear Ozzy sing it or as a duet with you! 😄
Thanks also for your nice comment on my I'm In Bits lyrics

Smudgie - I love the way that chorus soars just a few feet off the ground - with the single repeated line. The simple verses make so much sense, and the way you sing them gives it this intense sincerity. I think maybe I need to go listen to Black Sabbath if this is like them. Hooray for finishing things up. So good to hear you singing again.

I can't say anything about the Black Sabbath connection because I don't know enough. But I do love the simple chorus lyrics and the way you sing them, and the way it settles back down to the storytelling verses. You painted a salient (and beautiful) difficult emotional picture. Great skirmishing!
