Fear Of Flying
Fear Of Flyingin an airport in the future
i will watch you smile
heading out for destinations
even when the wind is slowing down
i can feel you when you’re dreaming
even when the fire is screaming through the sky
in the airports of the future
you can keep your luggage and your shoes
you will glide there with other beings
bereft of all suspicious activities
in the future i may love you
but today is simply all bad dreams
in the future in the airport
all the chairs are made of woven clouds
there is never any crashing
because we have all begun to love ourselves

This is a perfect song. Just beautiful.
Again, with the Eno Theme. Music for Airports.
Nice.
As an English guy 9/11 hits me slightly differently to you Sheb. It was devastating and clearly justified the reaction that followed globally.
Bless those that fight for our freedom and bless you for this song. As you ‘work’ on this project it is changing your style; I like it.

Thanks, Jay, Kim & Mom. Twas strange, I did not set out to write a song about the day, I had some drum samples in a folder that I labeled future airports (who knows why) and it came about that way. I like the way this is changing my music too. I am relying less on structured piano pieces and more on atmospheres. I guess we can all blame Brian Eno although I swear I have not listened to his work in years.
Sheb what a beautiful song it brought tears to my eyes. Pam
thanks Pam & Alex, it means a lot to me that you continue to check in. The world is a crazy place, but at least Sacramento is mostly peaceful.
