BLOW AWAY, BLOW AWAY
[Written by Tony Brown]
Verse 1
Blow away, blow away, We are chasing balloons all day
Blow away, blow away, Which direction we go we have no say
Blow away, blow away, Way up high we are closer to the moon
When the sun shuts his eyes, the stars will dance, As the world sings a happy tune
Verse 2
Blow away, blow away, We are floating along on the wind,
Blow away, blow away, As we passed through the clouds they all grinned
Blow away, blow away, The people are looking very small
From up here all the valleys are so, so deep, And the mountains are very tall
Instrumental
Verse 3
Blow away, blow away, We are sailing along on the breeze
Blow away, blow away, Making friends with the clouds and the trees
Blow away, blow away, Chasing red, green and yellow balloons
When the sun shuts his eyes, the stars will dance, As the world sings a happy tune
Verse 4
Blow away, blow away, We are chasing balloons all day
Blow away, blow away, Which direction we go we have no say
Blow away, blow away, Way up high we are closer to the moon
When the sun shuts his eyes, the stars will dance, As the world sings a happy tune
When the sun shuts his eyes, the stars will dance,
As the world sings a happy tune,
Repeat last line twice.
How the song came about
"A great little song for youngsters disco parties."
BLOW AWAY, BLOW AWAY written by Tony Brown, Copyright © 2007
(Performed by Tony Frost)
This song started life as a sedate rock song and turned into a raunchy ’16 Heavy Rock’ song, with three electric Vamp guitar tracks going through the Korg AX3G Effects Pedal. We added the boot stomping and gusty wind as an introduction – then left the boots marching all the way through! The Korg AX3G is marketed as a ‘Signal modelling signal processor’ (effects pedal to you and me!).
