about
My band, Philos, covered a version of Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked. Stephen Schwartz, the original composer, got a hold of it and said some really nice things about it. It's because of him that I'm even able to sell this version. Give it a listen.
lyrics
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, defying gravity
You can't pull me down
I'm through accepting limits
Cause someone says they're so
Some things I'll never change
But till I try I'll never know
For too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, defying gravity
You can't pull me down
I'm through accepting limits
Cause someone says they're so
Some things I'll never change
But till I try I'll never know
For too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
