Inspired by Sting's song, Consider Me Gone, and the musical instrumentation of Paul Simon's, Graceland, Pick Your Head Up is emotionally expansive, self-comfort meets orchestrated polyphony of instrumental and human voices. Loads of fun! This Jazz Fusion song begins with a calm, funky, reflective mood and then builds half way through to give multiple instruments each their own voice to form an exciting, vibrant and quirky conversation. Pick Your Head Up provides a space for the listener to be included in that conversation. Genre: Jazz Fusion; Mood: Relaxed, upbeat and vibrant. Main Theme: Encouragement to have faith in your future, never to doubt yourself.
Lyrics
You are, what you'll become, you are
You just don't know it yet
You just don't know it yet, what you are
Be still, be patient, be still
Don't you ever fret
Don't you ever fret
Draw yourself together
Draw yourself together
Draw yourself together, right now
You are, continue to have faith, you are
Your future will be filled
Your future will be filled, who you are
In time, be patient in time
Don't give up your quest
Don't give up your quest
Little duckling
Little duckling
Pick your head up little duckling
You'll turn into a swan, little duckling
Pick your head up little duckling
You'll turn into a swan
Together, pick your head up little duckling
Come together, little duckling, you'll turn into a swan
Together, pick your head up little duckling
Come together, you'll turn into a swan
Little duckling, you will see
Pick your head up, little duckling
You will turn into a swan, a swan
Pick your head up little duckling, little duckling
You'll turn into a swan, little duckling
Little duckling
Draw yourself together
Draw yourself together
Draw yourself together, right now
Little duckling, you will turn into a swan
Little duckling, little duckling
You will turn into a swan
Little duckling, you'll turn into a swan
Pick your head up, little duckling
You'll turn into a swan
Little duckling
Little duckling, little duckling, little duckling
Little duckling
Pick your head up, little duckling
You'll turn into a swan
You'll turn into a swan, little duckling
You'll turn into a swan
Pick your head up, little duckling, little duckling
Pick your head up, you'll turn into a swan.
