Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Lyrics
Flying too close to the sun Words & Music © 2013 by Ron Tintner, ASCAP This dirt and stone we walk upon Was never in your sight Your eyes looked ever upward Your mind in endless flight Like Icarus, you bared your back And strapped on wings of feathers and wax You learned to fly And headed for the sky Now your wings are melting Your arms are getting tired Your fall has begun That’s what you get… Flying too close to the sun The oxygen gets thin up there At ever higher heights The world is a kaleidoscope Of ever brighter lights No doubt, no fear, no looking down No holding back, no rules, no bounds You’re up among the gods A star above the clouds Your wings are melting Your arms are getting tired Your fall has begun That’s what you get… Flying too close to the sun You missed the warning The momentary stall You couldn't change direction You lost control Your wings are melting Your arms are getting tired Your fall has begun That’s what you get… Flying too close to the sun Yes, that’s what you get… Flying too close to the sun
