Colby's Song MikeLomba... - 10,437 views - 1 month ago
Update: MP3 Download link here:
http://mikelombardo.bandcamp.c om/track/colbys-song

When I heard about Colby Curtin on the news, my heart broke. As a songwriter, the best way of expressing that was to write a song.

Opening text:
10 year old Colby Curtin was suffering from a rare form of cancer.
She was desperate to see Pixar's "Up" but soon became too sick to be able to go see it.
Her family feared she would die without seeing the movie.
As a last resort, a family friend called Pixar, but didn't know an extension to get through the automated answering system.
After guessing a random extension, they were connected.
Pixar flew an employee with a copy of Up on DVD to Colby and her family the next day.
Colby's mother asked her if she could hang on until the employee arrived.
Her response:
"I'm ready, but I'm going to wait for the movie."
By the time the employee arrived, the pain was so much that Colby could not open her eyes to see the movie.
Her mother had to describe to her what was happening in the movie.



lyrics:

Colby lies in silence
but it's white and she is warm
with the curtains flowing gently by her bed
Colby lifts her head and says "Mom, you know I'm ready.
But I think I'll wait and see the show instead."

So she calls to tell the story and she's trying not to cry
but she doesn't know the numbers and she cannot make a choice
a wave of heat rolls through her and she gives it one more try
and she presses a few buttons and then she hears a voice

I'll sing to you balloons and sun
before the saints and angels come
it's far too soon but it's begun
Colby's going up tonight

A man is running through the airport
with a package in his hand
and he's fighting through the mannequins in line
and he buckles in for takeoff with the package on his lap
and he hopes to God he reaches her in time

I'll sing to you balloons and sun
before the saints and angels come
it's far too soon but it's begun
and Colby's going up tonight
Colby's going up tonight

They're gathering around her
and suddenly the man comes rushing in
Now Colby's eyes are closed because it hurts too much to look
but I'll tell you all the pretty things
like red balloons on pretty strings
and birds and clouds
and light

I'll sing to you balloons and sun
before the saints and angels come
it's far too soon but it's begun
Colby's going up tonight

Rock Song in its original form - guitar version MikeLomba... - 162 views - 1 month ago
When I first wrote Rock Song for a Berklee songwriting class, I sat down with a guitar.
Now you see why I stick with piano.
This is what it sounded like - you will notice some different words and melody sections.
If you really want the MP3 of this, message me.
