Description:
Listen to Dan + Claudia Zanes' "Fly Like A Raven," from their album 'Pieces of Home.' Get your kids up and moving to a rockin' '50s beat with Dan + Claudia's wing-flapping instructional about the Baltimore Ravens. Don't be shy, it's time to fly! Claudia Zanes: vocals Dan Zanes: vocals and guitar Jendog Lonewolf: MC Munit Mesfin and Z Lovebugs: party sounds Isabelle DeLeon: percussion Mike Lowrey: drums Yoshi Waki: upright bass Lyrics: Well, there’s a brand new dance that’s going around Fly like a raven It’s a ding dang dance with a funny little sound Fly like a raven And then you stop! / And you freeze in place Fly like a raven Stop! And where’s your funny face? Spread your wings / Flap those things Take the train and go downtown Fly like a raven We’re gonna circle up / And then you swing it around Fly like a raven And then you stop! / Until you hear us say Fly like a raven And then you stop! / And in your own way Take it slow / Take it high and low And then you stop! / And you reach up high Fly like a raven Stop! Pull a cloud from the sky / Now take three steps / And dance the rest Spread your wings and / shuffle your feet Fly like a raven Shake your head / to the weekend beat Fly like a raven And then you stop! Don’t be shy / It’s time you fly Fly like a raven Purchase/Stream: Smithsonian Folkways: https://folkways.si.edu/dan-and-claudia-zanes/pieces-of-home Bandcamp: https://danandclaudiazanes.bandcamp.com/album/pieces-of-home All other platforms: https://orcd.co/dan-and-claudia-zanes-pieces-of-home Pieces of Home by Dan + Claudia Zanes is a fresh collection of songs for people of all ages: joyful songs to restore the spirit and uplift the soul.
