Paper Planes :: I'm From Barcelona

Welcome to Stree-Free Tuesdays - The Vodka 7 to Your Manic Mondays.

The following song is by a group called I'm From Barcelona. IFB got their start in 2005 and since then have been traversing the world with, at times, more than 20 different instrumentalists at a time.





Emanuel Lundgren is the leader of the group (and is sorta creepy looking w/his man 'stache)













but you can meet the rest of them HERE.










Anyway, I keep hearing this song on 89.3 The Current and it always leaves me feeling happy. I like that it's catchy and I like that it incorporates the clarinet - my first instrument. I also find the video to be pretty fun as well - lots of things happening in that elevator!

So, I hope y'all enjoy your Stress-Free Tuesday...Meggo-Style.

The end.
Love,
Meggo



Paper Planes :: I'm From Barcelona

Surrounded by strangers
Their sounds and their changes

There's a big old man
In his underpants
He plays the clarinet every night
Trying hard to figure it out
In the flat above
They are making love
I guess they'll have a beautiful son
Practicing as much as they've done

Paper planes!
Folding paper planes
Throwing paper planes
To clear my head

In the flat below
There's the Cosby show
And Theodor is screaming at Bill
Claire is mad and Ruby is ill
There's a cat out there
Running everywhere
Chasing all the girls in the park
I wish that I could see in the dark

Paper planes!
Folding paper planes
Throwing paper planes
To clear my head
Paper planes!
Folding paper planes
Throwing paper planes
And go to bed

I'm surrounded by strangers
Their sounds and their changes
I'm surrounded by strangers
Their sounds and their changes
