about

We all long to escape our lives sometimes. Can music help you to escape?

In Fable Gazers podcast company's upcoming series This Art May Save You, we explore this question by speaking to artists from all kinds of fields.

'Fly me to another place', is based on a real-life ad put out by a millionaire who invited artists to apply to come and stay for free on his luxury island retreat. This song is a tongue-in-cheek exploration of the theme of ‘escape’ and what it means to ‘fly away’ from your problems.

lyrics

Fly me to another place

Oh whoa
Fly me to another place
Over the hills and oceans
Ah
Oh whoa
Clouds swift by in a blaze
Leave everything behind
Don’t pay no mind


Heard tell of a millionaire
He has an island to spare
You tell him your dreams
And he,
He lets you go there


Sweet little millionaire
Alone in his luxury
So hop the private jet with me
(Jet with me)
Leap out with your magic parachute
And get wet

Oh whoa
Fly me to another place
Over the hills and oceans
Ah
Oh whoa
Clouds swift by in a blaze
Leave everything behind
Don’t pay no mind

The lonely millionaire
Waits for you
On soft white sands
He’s been waiting such a long time
To feel it between his toes
For you, he’ll shed his clothes

And when you get there
(Get there)
All your problems will go
Cut off from the world
Nothing to do
but write songs and words
