Floating

From the album: Soulful Shell

Intro - instrumental

Verse 1
Come, come,
Adventure calls,
Jump with me
Into the unknown.

Verse 2
The pilot awaits
To take us high,
Oh so high
Into the blue sky.

Verse 3
The burner breathes into the colorful cloth,
The balloon proudly inflates.
Come, hurry up and jump
Into the basket with me.

Verse 4
Slowly we rise and rise,
The burner spits fire
To take us higher and higher,
No more solid ground under our feet.

Chorus
We ride the wind's wings,
Free as a bird,
We float in the sky,
Carefree we are floating, floating.

Verse 5
The wind caresses our hair,
A smile appears
On our ecstatic faces,
We take it all in.

Bridge
High above the trees,
People and animals
Turn into tiny dots,
Barely noticeable.
A new perspective,
New horizons,
A carpet of colors underneath.

Chorus
We float in the sky,
Carefree and light,
We are the only passengers
On the wind's wings.

Verse 6
A group of birds passes by,
Invites us to join
For a long journey
Across land and sea.

Verse 7
Wherever the wind blows,
We float on its wings,
Lonely riders, transcending
The daily rush beneath.

Virtuoso solo - instrumental

Outro

We feel so light,
We are floating.

Floating.

Lighter and lighter.

We float.

No rush, no rush.

We feel so light.

Outro - instrumental

Musical style concepts

A trip hop track begins with airy pads, brushed drums, and a deep, syncopated bass-line. Ethereal female vocals glide above, while atmospheric samples evoke elevation. Percussion grows intricate; at the bridge, fiery synth stabs and whooshes burst in, echoing the balloon's spit of fire, Floating textures and unpredictable effects weave throughout, evolving the soundscape with each section for a uniquely dynamic build. Distinct spacey and trippy vibe. Lightness.
