about
I got married. This is the song I wrote and sang for my husband as my vow. On the day, I performed it with my little brother Tony on glockenspiel, and my fake little sister Indigo on backing vocals. We even had choreography! Although this doesn’t musically fit with the other songs, I simply felt I couldn’t leave it off the EP.
“One must follow the voice that calls out through the land, but must hear the one whispering softly to hold out your hand.”
“One must follow the voice that calls out through the land, but must hear the one whispering softly to hold out your hand.”
lyrics
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh)
We found each other
On the gold brick road
To seek something bigger
Than ever before
We were both lions
And tin men together
Longing to love and to live
And be brave enough to roar
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh)
But they say life’s what happens
When you’re making plans
To the beat of a drum
To the map in the sand
One must follow the voice
That calls out through the land
But must hear the one whispering softly
To hold out your hand
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh)
Now there will always be
An Emerald City
With Wizards and Witches
And magic galore
But there’s only one of
The thing that I love most
And I’m gunna love you
Forever and ever more…
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh) etc…
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh)
We found each other
On the gold brick road
To seek something bigger
Than ever before
We were both lions
And tin men together
Longing to love and to live
And be brave enough to roar
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh)
But they say life’s what happens
When you’re making plans
To the beat of a drum
To the map in the sand
One must follow the voice
That calls out through the land
But must hear the one whispering softly
To hold out your hand
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh)
Now there will always be
An Emerald City
With Wizards and Witches
And magic galore
But there’s only one of
The thing that I love most
And I’m gunna love you
Forever and ever more…
Head in the clouds (Oh)
Head in the clouds (Oh)
My head’s in the clouds (Oh) etc…

Artichoke Perfume
by Zoe Boekbindersupported by 8 fans who also own “Head in the Clouds”
A gently surreal collection about love, sometimes tinged with a little bit of regret, which is the perfect midpoint between lighter and heavier acoustic artists. Artichoke Perfume is a wonderfully strange mix of charming and sad - thoroughly enjoyable!
