TOKUNBO See You Fly (Single) Preview by tokunbomusic

Inspiriert von den großen Songwritern der 70er Jahre wie Carol King, James Taylor und The Carpenters schenkt uns TOKUNBO mit ihrer zweiten Album-Single 'See You Fly' eine sanfte Hymne des Mutes.

Begleitet von elegant schwelgerischen Streichern und traditionellem Pop Piano kommt der Song, ursprünglich für ihren kleinen Sohn geschrieben, leicht und heiter daher und berührt doch mit seiner universellen Botschaft.

Und so ist 'See You Fly' ein zauberhaft weihnachtlich anmutender Song, der nicht nur Kinderaugen leuchten lässt.

Lyrics:
You're my precious light
I want to see you fly
So when the world seems mean
When you feel unseen

Promise you will never lose your faith Promise me you will never feel ashamed Even when the days grow dark
And you're losing heart
Please know
You're never on your own And you'll never be alone

English:
Reminiscent of the great songwriters of the 70s TOKUNBO's tender yet cheerful hymn of encouragement 'See You Fly' makes for a merry song at Christmas time.

Against a backdrop of enticing strings and traditional piano TOKUNBO's words of fortitude written with her little son in mind make 'See You Fly' one of the artist's most personal songs.

Carol King & James Taylor meet The Carpenters beneath the mistletoe.
