Pterodactyl [VIDEO]

Liner Notes

Here's what you could call the first single off my next album, though I don't really do singles, there's nothing to release so it's just an arbitrary name.
This one comes with a classic Charlie Leemburg music video of stringing together public domain footage because I have no budget.
When I was making this one I was thinking it was gonna be like 4 minutes but I think that would have made it drag so we're good. I think you can figure out what this one is about.

Lyrics

Aerodynamic
Without a silver lining
Your childhood dream will end
Of touching the cold wind
With steel wings you can't feel
And neither can they heal
You heard: "fighting for you life"
But in the end you wonder
Was there no life or fight?

Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh

Lowering altitude
Towards the old tree
A popular attraction
For all to see
The impact it shook us
And when the smoke cleared
Shards of metal, in the meadow
The only things that's missing
Is a picture of you

Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh

Then pass the sands of time (Oh, pterodactyl, oh)
And wouldn't it be nice (Oh, pterodactyl, oh)
If you could fly again? (Oh, pterodactyl, oh)
To see the sun go down (Oh, pterodactyl, oh)
More than a final time? (Oh, pterodactyl, oh)

Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh
Oh, pterodactyl, oh

The synth riff really drives this one forwards. Greates a unique groove that is definitely head bobbing. I love the loose feel of the chorus with the pterodactyl ohs.

Agreed- this is catchy! I really like the groove. Really drove the song without distracting from the lyrics

Dark and sad. But as kayo said, catchy.

This is super catchy, and the contrast with the darkness of the lyrics is really intriguing! What a great idea for the video also.
