about

I originally performed "Fly" live with my band "The Blue Phoenix" in the 90's. I recorded a version with Dave Hemmings on drums, Michael Dolce & Derek Wilson on guitars, Barte Shadlow on bass and Richard Adamson on keys on some ADATS loaned to me by EMI records in my large old house in Padstow NSW.

But for THIS version, I collaborated with Noah Hoffeld on Cello, and Paul Stivitts on drums. We recorded the Cello in Noah's beautiful wood-floored Upper West Side apartment. We recorded the drums in Estudio Radial in Southwest Brooklyn. The rest I did in my studio at home.

lyrics

~ FLY ~

Go ahead
Speak you mind
But listen well cause I’m going to waste no time
I’m going back
I’ve got to see
See if it’s true they’ll ever rescue me
Something tells me something
Isn’t right
People are falling all around like flies
The cause could be that new invention
But if it’s the government then don’t even mention it

A whisper here
A gesture there
And we could meet again
Be sure that no-one sees you leave
Go out that door and then

Be sure you fly
Until it’s all over
I still love you so
When we have won the day
We’ll be free to be together then

Oh go ahead
Say your piece
But move quick before you loose you feet
I know you think we should never part
But we’re together now and that’s a start
So while I’m gone could you
Gather our weapons
When I get back we’ll send them through the heavens
And if you think of something that I missed
Just tell me and I’ll rectify it

A whisper here
A gesture there....

Broken by the seed of discontent
There doesn’t seem any way at all
Where it would be possible to mend
The damage that it truly has caused

Fly….
