Story Behind The Song

While it started as a lyric piece, the upbeat, jazzy instrumental served as a great showcase for K. Walsh's lead guitar work, making the decision to keep the track instrumental an easy one. The song has the feel of a jazz-rock trio just jamming and having a blast. The drums and bass support the guitar work and keep the piece bouncing along while the guitar carries the listener aloft, gliding through the clouds.

Song Description

Aloft is a musical journey carrying the listener into the sky to soar like a bird, coasting through the clouds, flying over the oceans and along the coastline, ecstatic in being aloft and gliding through the air in celebration of freedom, flight, and harmony with nature. The slow build early on leads to the beautiful and energizing interaction between electric guitar and flute, playing off each other as the song progresses, lifting one higher and higher, soaring and swooping in a dance of pure joy.
