There’s a personal story to the lyrics of Girls on planes. In fact it’s about meeting your highschool love after many years. And the romance that might revive. A fairytale basically. Anyway, I wrote this one some years ago and decided to reveal the full potential with the help of my UK friends Ian T. (guitars) and Nigel R. (vocals). Britpop rules!-).

There is this girl on the train, head down consumed by the pain
There is this girl on the train, whiping her tears, but in vain
And all the words he said haunt her head
Over and over

The tears now show on her sleeve, as minor traces of grief
The tears still show on her sleeve, when she is rising to leave
And all the words he spoke haunt her head
Over and over
Will they ever leave

And all the words he spoke haunt her head
Over and over

Do you remember the girl?
The one that could not forget
Those words so terribly sad
Would you believe we just met
Now flying business class 8 miles high
Heading for romance
Love will wing it all

(Lyrics by Justus)

 

I wrote this one at least 10 years ago. (For those who know Justus: it was an instrumental called ‘All about you’.) I always considered it to be special, so I decided to invite some friends to re-record it. As a start BK Williamson wrote some really beautiful lyrics, which reminded me of Eleonor Rigby. Then Nicola Offidani added smooth guitars like only he can and Maurizio Marini showed his jazzy talents on drums. But the biggest change and improvement probably was created by Shakunetsu O. She turned the lyrics into a truly heartbreaking story. Hearing is believing…

He liked the colors inside the box
They made him laugh an’ forget for a while
Took him to a place where everyone smiled
They all stood together and everyone fit…
and everybody had a friend

She covers up his eyes so he won’t see her cry
and tells him of the gift he holds inside…

He lay his head upon her lap
He asked her please, in a voice so meek
Can you tell me why nobody speaks
Nobody says hello or goodbye…
Why am I not like them

His body left him just yesterday
In the middle of the night with nothing to say
He drew his last breath all alone in his bed
His mother still wonders what went on in his head…
They all say he’s in a better place

She covered up his eyes so he wouldn’t look surprised
at the freedom of the gift he held inside…

And no one came to say goodbye

(Lyrics by BK Wiliamson)
