Flight: The Song, The Story and The Video

(Synthetik FM featuring davidmahr)
2009-07-07
Words and Music by davidmahr (ASCAP) and Bobby Clark


Flight


One of things I love is collaborating with other artists. With "Flight," Bobby sent me a piece of music that was already arranged and ready to go, I just had to add words and melody -- I love that! I really enjoyed coming up with the final mix and was thrilled it made it on to the Synthetik FM debut album "EMC2" as well as my single "Relentless."

Imagine my surprise when Bobby sends me another gem, a music video to go with it! Of course I love the retro wackiness of the space footage and that crazy 50s woman (watch it, you'll see).

My challenge? To see if I could drop myself into it somehow. Well, with the help of a green screen, some wacky googles and a whole lotta patience, here at last is the music video for "Flight."

Enjoy!



Lyrics:

Let me take you on a trip, let me show you paradise
Got a one-track mind and it’s pining for you

So don’t think me unkind for my selfish intent
You’re all mine, so come fly with me

And we’ll take flight (fly high)
And we’ll take flight (fly high)
And we’ll take flight

Let me take you on a trip that’ll blow your mind away
Where air meets space and sun burns atmosphere

Fly with me, fly with me

An intimate place entwined in space
When we’re together no light gets through
My innermost secret, my burning desire
To fly with you

The moon and stars, the sky and the air
Can take you away
If I ask you to stay would you speak your desires?
And fly with me?

And we’ll take flight (fly high)
And we’ll take flight (fly high)
Fly with me
