a.k.a What Do You Want From Me?
LISTEN TO: Balloon Boy
Will he fall will he fall
From a great blue height
Will he laugh will he laugh
Will he die will he die
Will he suffocate
Will he immolate
Tiny boy of our dreams
Floating silver air streams
What do you want from me
The foolish you
Wish you could see what I see
The foolish you
What do you want from me
Can we see his tiny blue face
In the eye of the mind
Can we feel his mother’s embrace
He is broken
The wind was unkind
Take us away from the war
Take us away
Give us blood or give life
What do you want from me
The foolish you
You are so far beneath me
The foolish you
What do you want from me
What do you want from me?
The foolish you
Is there blood?
Is there blood?
Fear and love….

thanks for including me, for one.
very nice camille, enjoyed it.
nice to hear that your still producing new music.
Balloon Man is getting the attention he wanted. . .
Yeah, Balloon Man is a psychotic man for sure. Poor sweet kid….
Thanks for the comment Chris. Your artwork is looking good lately. John says “Hi”
Is that El Destructo I hear singing backup? Nice touch!
You betcha – El Destructo needed some Mama time while I was working so I popped the headphones on him and turned on the mic. He is amazing.
Loved it, I love your idea of blog-in-song. Really captures emotions of situations through music. Way to go!
It is so good to hear your dear voice, and your wonderful creativity. I love the song but have some questions about the lyrics.
Loved a call from your folks last week and hope that the new year brings me to Colorado. I really do miss you dear people and would love to see the twins. I would rather be in touch with you dear girl by email or phone.
Lots to share. Love and hugs to all, Yoga Yama Z
LOVED IT! Now I’m going to go and listen to some more good stuff.
Camille, I like this and the sweet little voice in the background is awesome!! I have to admit I had so many mixed up emotions about the whole balloon experience…there were many possible lyrics in my head!!!
I was listening to this song out of interest, it’s very good, you can see with a proper production it could be amazing. Just so you know I know the Heene family – they are lovely people – they are eccentric and got Very carried away but those kids love their mom and dad. They are human beings who have made a big mistake but are decent and loving people – please remember that.
I will. Thank you – I do think that they made a horrible, sick mistake. But in the end we all make mistakes and our culture is at least partially to blame. I appreciate the time you took to listen and comment.

[...] a beautiful and fucked-up song about you, balloon boy. You might like it. You can listen to it HERE. But of course it isn’t really a song about you. It’s a song about the rest of us. [...]
