Alt pop / rock song about flying on a magic carpet.

I was kicking up the sand in a crowded town, I never knew anyone
I took a plane from Iraq and I ended up right here, in I don't know where
A man with no shoes stepped in front of me
He wouldn't let me go
He pulled a rolled-up rug from under his arm
Said it's a gift for you my Western friend

"It's a special kind of rug that'll take you to the sky"

All we need is magic for a magic carpet
We can fly together on our magic carpet
It's a sky-high party flying on a carpet
We just wanna party riding on a carpet

See the carpet float across the desert sand, a hundred people were cheering
Excitement quickly developed to a carnival air, soon everyone was there
I felt a little lonely being here by myself, I couldn't fly this alone
'Sir we wanna fly too, can we climb on with you?"
Yeah yeah yeah we can fly anywhere!

We're getting down on a carpet in the sky 

All we need is magic for a magic carpet
We can fly together on our magic carpet
It's a sky-high party flying on a carpet
We just wanna party riding on a carpet

Fly fly fly it's a magical ride
Fly fly fly with the birds in the sky
Fly fly fly see the stars up high
We wanna fly fly fly fly fly fly high

The warm breeze of the Summer
The bright blue sky
This carpet's got a rhythm
Feel the groove inside
See the people down below watch our magic carpet fly

We're getting down on a carpet in the sky

Riding a magic carpet through the desert sky
What a mystical feeling
I was a stranger on the ground but I've got new friends with me
Just dancing and living our best life
Our western eyes could never see that eastern minds can set you free
This feeling is cleansing my soul
If you feel a little blue this will make you feel cool
Do you wanna fly with the Sultans in the sky?

We're getting down on a carpet in the sky

All we need is magic for a magic carpet
We can fly together on our magic carpet
It's a sky-high party flying on a carpet
We just wanna party riding on a carpet

All we need is magic for a magic carpet
We can fly together on our magic carpet
It's a sky-high party flying on a carpet
We just wanna party riding on a carpet 

Oi! What you kids doing with my flaming rug?

This Morning [05.05.25]

Long Fuzzy Train

My new piece based on a theme that surfaced when I was writting my resigned and dark Intermezzo, which in contrast, turned out to be one of the brighest and joyfull of my creations, very lively and bursting with vitality, almost reminding me of a spring flower that ascended from a damp graveyard.
This piece was probably the one I've written in the shortest amount of time,  majority of it written in a mere several hours.

Some of you may recognise the good ladies from Daybreak singing Salutations to the Sun, and the chorus "I am part of the Sun" is a poem by D.H. Lawrence.

19. The Sun

Mariposa Bohemia es un canto al vuelo interior, una danza sonora para quienes sienten. Nacida entre los brazos del sol, con susurros de maíz y flores, cuando el alma pidió moverse. Aquí la mariposa emerge desde la luz, tejiendo sus alas con símbolos de serpientes, tiempo de lunas y flores que no se marchitan. Este track es invitación a vibrar, a soltar los miedos y danzar. Que cada escucha sea un acto de comunión contigo misma. Escúchala, compártela, baila con ella y si sientes su energía, usa #MariposaBohemia para que vuele más allá.

This is the principal soundcloud channel for original one-man music by gd&themultitracks.  Mainly instrumental, the music was home-recorded in stroud, england using hardware synths & instruments and Audacity community software for editing and mixing the individual multitracks.  I've had great enjoyment in making (& listening to!) the music, but any plays or feedback would be much appreciated. 
The music spans a wide range of sounds & genre.  I've put a selection of tracks into playlists which cover much of the music:  rock, melodic rock, soft guitar, ambient, electronica, soundtrack, jazz & blues..
enjoy your music ... just play on!
