FAWM: "Pterodactyl [VIDEO]"

Pterodactyl [VIDEO]

Liner Notes

Here's what you could call the first single off my next album, though I don't really do singles, there's nothing to release so it's just an arbitrary name. This one comes with a classic Charlie Leemburg music video of stringing together public domain footage because I have no budget. When I was making this one I was thinking it was gonna be like 4 minutes but I think that would have made it drag so we're good. I think you can figure out what this one is about.

Lyrics

Aerodynamic Without a silver lining Your childhood dream will end Of touching the cold wind With steel wings you can't feel And neither can they heal You heard: "fighting for you life" But in the end you wonder Was there no life or fight?

Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh

Lowering altitude Towards the old tree A popular attraction For all to see The impact it shook us And when the smoke cleared Shards of metal, in the meadow The only things that's missing Is a picture of you

Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh

Then pass the sands of time (Oh, pterodactyl, oh) And wouldn't it be nice (Oh, pterodactyl, oh) If you could fly again? (Oh, pterodactyl, oh) To see the sun go down (Oh, pterodactyl, oh) More than a final time? (Oh, pterodactyl, oh)

Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh Oh, pterodactyl, oh

The synth riff really drives this one forwards. Greates a unique groove that is definitely head bobbing. I love the loose feel of the chorus with the pterodactyl ohs.
