Lyrics

Flying Piano

pianos can’t fly
I never thought to question why
hot air balloons can’t swim
so why am I hanging out on this limb
strawberries can’t hear
so when will al the circus people disappear
pianos can’t fly
can’t piano fly
fly piano fly
fly piano fly
fly piano fly

	These are questions.... ...I believe each and every one of us has asked ourselves at one point or another in our lives. Beautifully done. Excellent dynamically on the vocals. Loved the contrast between the guitar and the delicate piano (I'm assuming grounded) in the background. Almost a sense of innocence to the lyrics. Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

	Thanks! Nice of you to say KTB! I've been doing a lot of recording this past year, just not a lot of posting. I just thought it was time to float a few pieces by the MacJams community. Ya'll are being so nice, I'll probably post more. Thanks again. Check out my latest song called Mighty Cracker Fly

	Great idea! I loved your lyric suggestion! (Of course I did have to change my trousers after wetting them from laughing so hard...) "You're a nice one Mr. Drak!" (Sung to the 'Mr. Grinch' tune.) Check out my latest song called Mighty Cracker Fly

	I really think this exercise was great. You got some great dynamic contrast, and in addition, you have the satisfaction of knowing that dozens of MacJamers are going to be asking themselves the question 'Why can't pianos fly?' Check out my latest song called What a Friend We Have in Jesus

you made me cry
It kills me that for all you hope, and you even give it a push with your voice going higher and higher, the piano just hovers and then falls. Gorgeous song. I just want to comfort that innocent piano. The circus chord progressions let us know how against mainstream, how freakish it is for some of us to have our goals, and yet we proceed, succeed or fail. thank you.

Check out my latest song called Este Momento

	I can't even lift my piano without a trolley It takes some skill to create such intensity from something so light and delicate. The vocals are confident and assured and yet so achingly fragile. Check out my latest song called Black madonna
