Liner Notes: 

I have three themes if you will for this event. One is children's Christian, the second is just plain "life" (I call that a journal page with a tune), and the third is quotes that move me. This is the first of the 'quotes that move me'. “To fly we have to have resistance." - Maya Lin

(News flash for 2011-07-27) Musicsongwriter did a fun little jazzy tune...and did leave a little room for an echo with my flute. You know...colabing is fun!

Yes, amazing fun! Thank you so much for collaborating with me dear Darci!

Lyrics: 

The wind around the plane wings
Acts a Newtonian way
The engine tries to move it forward
The air it wills it to stay
The air provides resistance
That’s good I’ll tell you why
Wings redirect that resistance
It’s then and there the plane can fly

It will fly through the resistance
Fly high through the sky
When you move forward fast enough
Resistance helps you to fly

Sometimes the wind beneath my wings
Acts in that resistant way
I move forward to my dreams
Others want me here to stay
When resistance hits me
And it feels to hard to try
I’ll let it roll right off me
Push on and trust I’ll fly

I will fly through the resistance
Fly high through the sky
When you move forward fast enough
Resistance helps you to fly

That's really cool. The piano moves it forward, the vocals sound great, the lyric is really interesting. Good stuff!

This a great lyric and I love the jazzy treatment and piano. Would love to have heard even more flute. Excellent collab both of you.

This is really nice! It's chunky, it's interesting, everything's really good sounding (flute, piano and voice), it all really comes together. Which of the two of you is singing, by the way?

I even enjoy the timbre of the sound in this one, it sounds great (and by the way, it comes across great on a single tiny computer speaker as well)

Definitely a proper winner, this one.

Very interesting lyric Darci. I'd be very interested in creating music to it. I'll PM you and we can exchange ideas Smile

I like that Darci!
Having an inquiring mind, I had to ask Google who Maya Lin was. Quite an amazing story considering her age and everything else
