Story Behind The Song
My initial idea was that anyone can carry a tune by picking it up and putting it in their pocket, so I had the hook first and built on the concept from there. I wanted a lazy, Sunday afternoon stroll kind of feel and once the melody settled I started to refine the lyric. I think this song would work well in an animated movie.
Song Description
Songs are so closely associated with memories of a person, time or place. We pick up songs and carry them around for life and they often govern our moods. I wanted to remind the listener that music plays such a huge part in our lives.

Lyrics
ANYONE CAN CARRY A TUNE
Writer: Brent Lillie
V1
Anyone can carry a tune
With a song in your heart you can walk on the moon
Lighter than air, like a balloon, anyone can carry a tune
V2
You don't have to know how to sing,
With a song in your head you can do anything
Go anywhere like Paris in spring, like a bird on the wing
REF.
Anywhere, anytime
Just pick up a tune and keep it in mind
CH.
Anyone can carry a tune
With a song in your heart you can walk on the moon
Lighter than air, like a balloon, anyone can carry a tune
REF.
Anywhere, anytime
You can make up your own and have one of a kind
V3
Anyone can carry a tune
With a song in your heart say goodbye to the blues
But if you like the blues you can carry that too, it's all up to you
CH.
Everyone can carry a tune
With a song in our hearts we can fly to the moon
Lighter than air, a big bunch of balloons, on it's way to the moon
Lighter than air, like a balloon
Anyone_______ can carry______ a
Do de do do__ do de do day
Do de do de do de do doooo
