A Bossa Nova inspired song that sounds nothing like a Bossa Nova.

The music is Folk & Roll laced with traces of Schmaltz & Country with a shot of Rhythm & Blues!!!

Story behind the song
One day while looking at a gift catalogue I noticed an ad for "Tiny people - mostly pedestrian" I thought it was a great song title & later that day while walking around the Mpls-Uptown area, I was taken by the variety of people that seemed to be dressed to be noticed but were going out of their way to blrnd in whith the scenery. The song began with that thought & then went in another direction. I like the subtle piano part. The original feel was more like "The Girl From Ipanema" whish I always liked as a kid.
Lyrics
MOSTLY PEDESTRIAN Walkin' down an uptown street as it's about to rain Different people pass me by but they all look the same Simple folk with dreams & hope & fear & doubt & pain Chorus: Millions of people - mostly pedstrian Wondering why they're alone Millions of people - mostly pedestrian Don't even know where they're goin' You look into their eyes - nobodys home Late at night I think of friends I knew when I was young I wonder do they think of me & where I might've gone Or are we all just memories that one day just become? Chorus In the end it all comes down to what you think is real But we're all just too afraid to show the way we feel And as the last scene fades to black what will be revealed? Chorus
