A great melody and tells a story and like how vocals go high in the later part of song. You hit those high notes well!

Thanks Neil, much appreciated.  The song is mashed up from some real events so its good to get some positive feedback!

What instruments do you use? what keyboard?

HI Neil, Its all a midi keyboard driving Ableton Live using the Grand Piano, String Ensemble, Clarinet and Stellar Strings with the 505 Core Kit for percussion

out of interest, when you are mixing how do you get everything high in the mix? I've started using master overdriven which works ok when using electric guitar, to bring levels right up  otherwise the recording sounds dull and low level, esp. vocals.

Great! This melody fit the lyrics perfectly, John!

Just now listening to your debut John. Great vocals and lyrics, and i love the drums at the end. I hope to play piano this well someday.

Love the lyrics and the piano. Very poignant performance

Masterful lyrics. Disarmingly honest. Great tune.

You flew from the East
In a jumbo jet plane
And I was so happy
To see you again
So I drove to the airport
Though I didn't know when
Your flight was expected to land
I sat in the lounge
And I ordered a beer
And hoped that nobody would notice me there
For if they recognised me
They might think it strange
To be here writing songs about planes

Life is a circus
Its a merry go round
You all move in circles
And don't touch the ground
I've been in this airport 
And I've acted this play
And said all those lines and have nothing to say and 
If all that you know has to get up and go
If I can see them again, I don't know
And so you keep playing those strange airport games and I'm
Here writing songs about planes.

Here is the airport its easy to get
The 21st Century blues
People don't know what they're looking for and they forget what they lose
You've got to keep going if you want to get on
Although you need never arrive
You've got to keep doing though nothing gets done
We all need to survive

And you said, Listen John
The news isn't good
I don't like this city
I wish that I could and I'm
Leaving for New York
I'll start over again
But I'm sure glad that I came.

It seems such a pity
Although you can try
Its no used getting lonely
Its no use to cry
You fly to places with wonderful names and I'm
Here writing songs about planes

Songs About Planes

Lyrics:
Overthinking, overrun by something you can't see.
Where were you when skies were blue, and I was underneath?
Everyone has got a ton of things you won't believe.
Everybody come on let's be jolly, and thankful that we can be.
Happy here with no more fear and know that we can be.
>>>>>>>>>
Free of worry. 
Only evil scurries when the light shines down.
Remembering to breath in and out. 
I don't mind if you need to take a cue and exit the stage. 
It's just another play.
>>>>>>>>
No more sinking, no more sand, no way to get away.
No one's thinking, but head's are shrinking.
Reduced by things you say.
No one knows just where it goes, I guess we will just wait and see.
Come on down or go around. Give us just what we need.
>>>>>>>>>
Free of worry. 
Only evil scurries when the light shines down.
Remembering to breath in and out. 
I don't mind if you need to take a cue and exit the stage. 
It's just another play.

Another Play

Collab with HyLGZ22 https://soundcloud.com/user-618736932 and Franz Liszt (quotes from his beautiful "La Chapelle de Guillaume Tell").
HyLGZ22 kindly let me play with his music. I added strange electro sounds and some mathematical results on topology.
 It's cool to take control of the sound ! I like to take control !
