Oh yeah That’s the balloon man Sometimes it’s hard to see’em He’s sorta carpe diem Up there Floating free without a care Buzzards and butterflies No lows only highs
He’s up there somewhere Tryin’ on a cloud Snippin’ off raindrops To make ‘em fall down Floatin’ on a thermal In a pink balloon He don’t know where he’s goin’ But he’ll get there soon
He’s just A man with no because Well, who can really fault A man who lost it all? After all, Floating’s just swell No one to lie or tell, No one to care if you fell
He’s up there somewhere Tryin’ on a cloud Snippin’ off raindrops To make ‘em fall down Floatin’ eternal In a pink balloon He don’t know where he’s goin’ But he’ll get there soon

This sounds so carefree and fun, yet parts are a bit dark and sad (no one to care if you fell…) Love the ukelele accompaniment as well!

What a carefree portrait you created, in both words and music. I especially liked “He’s sorta carpe diem.” What a great phrase!

Oh yeah some ukulele. Oh I like the melody 🌈 and your light and smooth playing and the chord progression. Made me nod my head.

One of those - hold on, wait a minute - songs that has mixed emotions. Clever written and a wonderful performance.
