about
''I Will Fly Away' is the most exposed and personal song I did so far. It was written in a time I wanted to get away from myself, to get away from the reality I was living in.
I started to work on the song in the middle of 2020 when Berlin was in total lockdown. I was sitting in my room and suddenly this rhythmical guitar line came to my head. I just felt like I had to record it right away... A couple of hours after I had almost the entire song. lyrics, chords, structure.. It was like I had the song inside of me for months, and I just needed to find a way to let it out.
There are a lot of musical influences in the song, Brazilian music, Techno, Pop, Jazz, Sahara Blues, and many more... In the recording process of the song, I tried to think of every section of the song as a different colour, a different mood, and to try to express that with the different musical layers I recorded.
I am excited to share this song with you all. Welcome to my world.
lyrics
Standing on the cliff I see the ground
Birds and eagles flying all around me
Blue lines passing in between the clouds
Nothing else but faith is gonna help me
Oh, dusty fingers trying to recover
All the risks I took will join the ride
I lost my voice I'll try to find another
Feeling naked nothing left to hide thats why
I will fly away
I will fly away
Oh I will fly away
I will fly away
Spilling thoughts into a silver tray
Emptying the baggage of my past life
One foot steady one foot in the air
Oh you should hear what I will have to say before
I will fly away
I will fly away
Oh I will fly away
I will fly away
Fly away I know l'll
Fly away I know I'll
Fly away
Fly away I know I'll
Fly away I know I'll
Fly away
