Story Behind The Song
In college, I had a roommate who'd joke about how I always seemed to have "My Head in the Clouds." This song is my joyful, no-looking-away response. The crashing drums and soaring strings signify an aggressive embrace of dreams.
Song Description
It's an upbeat, melodic anthem for dreamers. The instrumentation features violin and cello, along with a harp to soften the rocking crash of the drums and plodding bass line.

Lyrics
My Head in the Clouds
Verse 1
What a drag, it would be,
living a life without imagination.
What a shame, can't you see?
Such a life would be a devastation.
Pre-Chorus
I've been accused of dreaming my life away.
I look at those people with pity and say.
Chorus
I feel at peace with my head in the clouds,
I get relief with my head in the clouds.
And I walk on the air with a smile on,
with an expression that says I am high on
My head in the clouds
My head in the clouds.
Verse 2
How can I, face the night,
if my day is full of endless worry?
How can I even try?
Look at me, you see I'm in no hurry.
Pre-Chorus
I've been accused of dreaming my life away.
I look at those people with pity and say.
Chorus
I feel at peace with my head in the clouds,
I get relief with my head in the clouds.
And I walk on the air with a smile on,
with an expression that says I am high on
My head in the clouds
My head in the clouds.
Bridge
My feet on the ground
are dragging me down.
My arms want to fly
take me high
take me high,
take me high,
take me high.
Outro
And I walk on the air with a smile on,
with an expression that says I am high on
My head in the clouds (repeat 7x).
