Name: Glow (Superman) [World Of Mine] {Soulja Boy Told 'Em}: An Exploration in Subtitles
Duration: P00H02M52S
Description: This is one of the poppiest, most accessible songs I've ever written. Sunny beat, sunny lyrics, and direct references to the classic hit "Crank That" by Soulja Boy Tell'em and to the mythology of Superman, it was only fitting that I give this song arguably the most esoteric song title I've ever written.

lyrics

Sunlight shimmers down through my Venetian blinds
It stripes the mattress where I'm resting my behind
Half of my face warms up and my skin starts to shine
What a wonderful world is this world of mine

Glow while you may
Seize the day's today before it's yesterday
Glow while you can
You don't have to be from Krypton to be a Superman

Streets are clean and grass is green to my brown eyes
Boys are riding bikes and girls are chasing butterflies
Gone are smelly memories of garbage and flies
What a wonderful world is this world of mine

Glow while you may
Seize the day's today before it's yesterday
Glow while you can
You don't have to be from Krypton to be a Superman

I know it's hard to keep a perspective
When the rain comes pouring down
Tomorrow may be Armageddon
But I don't plan on skipping town
If we let ourselves get pushed around
Or moan and groan and cry and frown
It's you and me against the world
But catch the wave and ride it out
Stick sour lemons up your snout
And you and me could be like birds of a feather
Or planes in good weather
Or Superman that oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Glow while you may
Seize the day's today before it's yesterday
Glow while you can
You don't have to be from Krypton to be a Superman

about

Kevin Calaway Seattle, Washington

I could while away the hours conferring with the flowers, consulting with the rain - but who has time for that? I regulate my mood with musical catharsis and publish my diary on the internet for the whole world to hear, wearing my heart and my influences on my sleeve like a man who really needs to do laundry. ... more
