Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Lyrics
Amelia Words & Music © 2012 by Ron Tintner, ASCAP Born into a century When Man was bound to earth You fought the chains of gravity That shackled you since birth No laws of men or God could hold you down You were meant to soar Not (to) stay here on the ground CHORUS: Amelia… (You’re) a distant constellation Amelia… A bird up in the sky Amelia… (You’re) up among the angels Amelia… You were born to fly A fateful day, an airplane ride Sweet epiphany You watched the future open wide And saw your destiny Walking through this world was not enough You pulled the throttle back And lifted off CHORUS BRIDGE: Higher, farther Faster, longer Your luck ran out Amelia… Where did you go? CHORUS Tag: Amelia… You were born to fly
