Story Behind The Song

This is a song we did with Jon Knudsen (a music student at OU). Just an example of how we can collaborate with an artist to make their song ideas a reality.

Song Description

Too many people are caught up with the superficial things in life to actually live. Let's take a step back and I'll show you what's important.

Lyrics

Shot down to New York City
Where everyone is so damn pretty
And everyone is so damn happy
With their own damn selves

People are always whining
That They can't see the silver lining
Hidden by the smog created
By their own damn mouths

And everyone wants to be like someone else

Shot down to San Diego
Where they've all got inflated egos
And they're all chatting on their cell phones
With their fake friends

Collecting shiney things
Like new cars and diamond rings
And they don't have time for things
Like their own selves

And everyone wants to be like someone
They cannot be so they'll keep dreaming

And if you want I'll give you what you're needing
The things that they will never find
And you and I will fly away from here
Won't you fly away with me?

And all my feelings
How they draw me from this place
And I wish I could shout that
Here we cannot stay

And everyone wants to be like someone
They cannot be so they'll keep dreaming
When I see you I can't help thinking
That there is more than what they're seeing here

And if you want I'll give you what you're needing
Things that they will never find
You and I will fly away from here
Won't you fly away with me?

And if you want I'll give you what you're needing
The things that they might never find
And you and I will fly away from here
Won't you fly away with me?

Shot down to New York City
Where everyone is so damn pretty
And everyone is so damn happy
With their own damn selves
