The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Lyrics
I’ve been circling the airport now, for so many years Trying to get myself back on the ground. I asked the pilot to bring us down slow, He said buckle up son. We’re taking the long and bumpy way around. When you’ve been up there for so long, Flying high on a wing and a prayer It never occurs to you what could go wrong Staying in the clouds is your only care It’s gonna be a hard landing The longer you fly, the harder it is to come down. And we’re in for a hard landing Bracing for when your feet meet the ground. I found the stewardess, Way back in the galley. She had a parachute strapped on her back. I asked her panicked eyes, I said it used to be so much fun to fly She said that was before the government began their attack. There’s been a few crash landings, to cause a widespread panic. Now all the flights are grounded, and everyone’s unpacking It’s gonna be a hard landing, The longer you fly the hard it is to come down. And we’re in for a hard landing, And I can’t find my way through all these clouds. The pilots used to be so friendly Giving toy wings to all the kids Now they double locked the cockpit door And only tell you where to find the first aid kits. As we get closer to the ground, I find myself wondering, If I’ll ever let myself fly again. It’s so much fun taking off, and sailing through the clear blue sky. But the hard landings feel like crashing into hell. Cause when you’ve been up for so long, and flying without a net. It’s like a bittersweet song, with lyrics you always forget. It’s gonna be a hard landing The longer you fly the harder it is to come down. And we’re in for a hard landing And I can’t find my way out of these clouds.
