about

Melancholic, whimsical, offbeat, funny and forlorn. “Fluffy” is a cotton ball with the saddest eyes you’ve ever seen. They have been abandoned under a tree, and they will perish if they don’t find someone to love soon. Featuring Bassels’ deep connected vocals, an impressive sax solo by Rob Christian (Larnell Lewis), a moving story, and a few laughs to soften the angst.

lyrics

I know I’m fluffy
And I know I’m free
I was born yesterday
I was abandoned
Under a tree

What I’d give
It’s just me and my
Whirls
So I look off into space
For a minute…
….

Take me home
I’m so tired of being
Alone
And I know, I was just
Born
I still know what it’s like
To be alone

Light as feather
My poor heart weighs
A ton
I’m under the weather
Before my life has even
Begun
No hands, aint got no feet
So look off into space
For a minute…
…

Take me home
I’m so tired of being
Alone
And I know, I was just
Born
I still know what it’s like
To be alone

These tears that I cry
Keep stinging my eyes
As I turn my face towards
The moon
My friend in the sky
Says I’ll never survive
If nobody takes me home
Soon

Take me home
I’m so tired of being
Alone
And I know, I was just
Born
I still know what it’s like
To be alone
