about

I wanted to write another song about my dad, but wanted to leave it to interpretation for the listener. I thought that writing about a "balloon" would be fitting for the beat that i had made. I knew that i wanted to sing a chorus-and do something "melodic" cause it was calling me to do so. I started just saying-"My balloon-let it fly up to the moon, yeah." It just felt right. Then when i knew i could make the song metaphorical-i got really excited-but emotional about this one.

lyrics

goodbye balloon(lyrics)

(chorus) my balloon-let it fly up to the moon-yeah

It was in the room-two months past June. Floating in the open i was in the womb. Filled with hot air-as the seasons loomed. My balloon that disappeared too soon at noon. Walking by my side during the monsoons. Immune to conditions feeling a sad tune. My balloon had bloomed-over sand dunes slow. Up above the earth i had to just let go. My heirloom blowed until the winds went cold. Knowing that his soul was too old to show-and glow like it did at one time-divine. Gather up the children for a pantomime. For balloon inclined to reach the stars. Not the ones you see upon the boulevard. But the ones you see in constellation sets. That balloon of mine i won't forget...

(chorus) my balloon-let it fly up to the moon-yeah

Shaped like a spoon-not to be exhumed. Assumed that it knew about the air-it flew. And it was there with me i had a cap and gown. Now i see it drifting farther looking down. With a frown-like clown-it's renown to them. Bound to leave this carnival-the mound ascends-and extends to the reaches of a new terrain. I must of seen it "waving" with a string it gave-me a sense of assurance of the bond we made. My balloon is now a marble longed to just fade. Played out it's cycle man i wish it stayed. Lifted far away-outweighed-and gone astray. My balloon is a cocoon that's free to go out there. Passing up the moon-don't know exactly where: it decides to go. So i will row. To catch the final glimpse of my balloon that knows this road...

(chorus) my balloon-let it fly up to the moon-yeah
