about
Oh, Airplane. Track 4 of the original LvF 5. My producer Andrew Chris told me the creative theory of the boat that is wrecked, and pieces of that boat get used to make the next boat, and that keeps happening and eventually you don't know if that boat is the original boat or a new boat. That is Airplane.
Written on that fateful Megabus, recorded in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill, produced in Moscow PA during a tragedy, released & retracted, re-recorded in Bloomington, IN with tender care years later, leaving in the original echoes of the first vocals but featuring new lead vocal nuances for a new interpretation - Airplane is a rich, deeply layered tapestry. Also, I always listen to this song when I'm on a plane and we're taking off.
lyrics
lyrics:
I’m a white airplane
On the runway
Gaining speed
You’re watching me
I don’t know my engine status
Will I break, will I wreak havoc
Am I ready
Or is something wrong with me
You know what I don’t
And I need you to say so
My takeoff is approaching fast
I have no clue if I’ll crash
You know what I don’t
And I need you to say so
My takeoff is approaching fast
I have no clue if I’ll crash
Deep down in me there’s a calm
It’s sad and slow, but it’s a calm
Because my flight hasn’t left the ground yet
And I know I haven’t come around yet
I spoke my mind, it’s your turn now and
I’m holding on
Because my flight hasn’t left the ground yet
And I know I haven’t come around yet
I spoke my mind, it’s your turn now and
I’m holding on
I’m holding on
Don’t let me take off
If there’s something I should know
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little
Don’t let me take off
If there’s something I should know
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
I’m a white airplane
On the runway
Breathing deep
And panicking
I can see my destination
Lost in movement and location
From the me down deep
Who knew a love reality
You know what I don’t
And I need you to say so
My takeoff is approaching fast
I have no clue if I’ll crash
You know what I don’t
And I need you to say so
My takeoff is approaching fast
I have no clue if I’ll crash
Deep down in me there’s a calm
It’s sad and slow, but it’s a calm
Because my flight hasn’t left the ground yet
And I know I haven’t come around yet
I spoke my mind, it’s your turn now and
I’m holding on
This flight hasn’t left the ground yet
And I know I haven’t come around yet
I spoke my mind, it’s your turn now and
I’m holding on
I’m holding on
Don’t let me take off
If there’s something I should know
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little
Don’t let me take off
If there’s something I should know
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Don’t let me take off
If there’s something I should know
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little
Don’t let me take off
If there’s something I should know
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope, just a, just a little hope
Just a little hope
I’m a white airplane
On the runway
