This has been the ringtone for my girlfriend, who is now my wife since I found it on net about 8 years back. I still don't understand why you refrain from uploading your work anymore.....................you have God gifted hands for music and it makes people happy.......
I think that you deserved the both the prizes- of the runners up and the first prize you received. Maybe even that much is too less. The way you carried out the song makes it look as if it is impossible to do. Harps are certainly beautiful instruments. Thanks for playing so beautifully.
Lyrics: We wrote a prelude To our own fairy tale And bought a parachute At a church rummage sale And with a mean sewing machine And miles of thread We sewed the day above L.A. In navy and red We wound a race track Through your mom's kitchen chairs And fought the shadows back Down your dark basement stairs I lit a match, then let it catch To light up the room And then you yelled as we beheld An old maroon hot air balloon I'll be out of my mind And you'll be out of ideas Pretty soon So let's spend The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon Leave your jacket behind Lean out and touch the treetops over town I can't wait To kiss the ground Wherever we touch back down We drank the Great Lakes Like cold lemonade And both got stomach aches Sprawled out in the shade So bored to death you held your breath And I tried not to yawn You made my frown turn upside down And now my worries are gone I'll be out of my mind And you'll be out of ideas Pretty soon So let's spend The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon Leave your jacket behind Lean out and touch the treetops over town I can't wait To kiss the ground Wherever we touch back down I'll be out of my mind And you'll be out of ideas Pretty soon So let's spend The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon Leave your jacket behind Lean out and touch the treetops over town I can't wait To kiss the ground Wherever we touch back down
I’m so glad you kept this channel up! This cover and your Fireflies cover are what made me pick up the harp years and years ago (although only casual playing). Was listening to Hot Air Balloon today and thought of this video. Thanks for sharing your light with the world through your music. Hope you’re doing well ❤️
Oh, my god. Im speechless. Speechless. You are one of the most talented people i have seen in a very long time. Wow. Like i cant even right now. I want to download this and listen to it on repeat. Thank you for this AMAZING AMAZING thing you did. Keep it up.
please keep posting harp videos u are so talented, owl city is one of my favourite artists and now u too. I could not care less who you play for lord o what ever just do it, u where born for it.
the first thing i noticed ... was that you seem very confident with yourself, just as you should. your skills are amazing. but the confidence is something i very much admire. wonderful job.
I got to watch some hot air balloons today as part of an annual festival our town does, went to get up the original song to end my day with and found this. Very beautiful!
This is breathtaking and phenomenal, hands down! I've been taken away, good luck to you and keep reaching your dreams, "There are Angels all around... believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts.....I guarantee there are Angels in your vicinity." :-)
With such a wonderful musical talent, I hope you go far. I hope you find everything your looking for. Because my god girl, you have the ability to make people feel like they're flying by listening to your music. I wish you all the best in life. =D
Whoa, amazed! I rarely comment, but you made me do. This song is so hard, even on piano, to cover. But you did a great job on harp. It's very awesome. You made the song sounds jolly but serene. Your skill is getting more amazing.
this is amaizaing!!!!! You are very talented. I can play the piano which is similar b/c you use both hands but from your description of how to play the harp, it sounds alot harder than piano!! keep up th good work!!!

Lyrics:
We wrote a prelude
To our own fairy tale
And bought a parachute
At a church rummage sale
And with a mean sewing machine
And miles of thread
We sewed the day above L.A.
In navy and red
We wound a race track
Through your mom's kitchen chairs
And fought the shadows back
Down your dark basement stairs
I lit a match, then let it catch
To light up the room
And then you yelled as we beheld
An old maroon hot air balloon
I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
We drank the Great Lakes
Like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches
Sprawled out in the shade
So bored to death you held your breath
And I tried not to yawn
You made my frown turn upside down
And now my worries are gone
I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
Da da dada da dada da da da dada....
