Q: Hi i wanted to try and make a sort of breakdown of Fly Around cause I really wanted to see what you'd think of it. Okay anyway here i go wish me luck "i walk over the earth in special sandals i took those sandals off now i can fly around" 'Special sandals' may represent something holding you down.. It's description as "special" may be found in a less positive light than tonally suggested, or perhaps could be found rather as just a catchy verbally-'adjacent adjective' ..or perhaps entirely as just a magical item betrothed upon our main character that upon removal awakens their inner super-power of flight- I'm not entirely sure and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the line.
A: all roads lead to musical happiness. start anywhere. after writing a lot of songs, you look for the roads less traveled. perhaps i'm trying to create something extremely "prose" and then let the joys of music prove that you can musicify anything, including the proseyest things. by "prosey" i suppose i mean like not written with any expected rhythm or rhyme scheme. if you looked at the lyrics alone you probably wouldn't even assume it was a song. also the flying comes as a surprise. i'm sure i genuinely wasn't even expecting the flying by the time i'd reached "sandals." even though i'm sure i came up with the whole line just about in real time. So in other words, basically i'm just attempting to enjoy the sensation of dreaming while awake. or at least try my best to achieve that
