Man or Monster. Genius or hack. Iconic or overhyped. Regardless of how you think of him, what he created during his lifetime is still going strong all over the world. This synth rock anthem is for you, Unc.

Lyrics, vocals, arrangement and song art by Ian Michalski.

Lyrics

When you're flying on an elephant

or sipping tea with little Alice and the Hatter

as you spin so freely through the visions of tomorrow

that excite and awe you

try to say a little thanks to me

I'm that feeling that you get going through the gate

when its so hard to catch your breath

cause you can hardly wait

to go adventuring beyond the realm of possibility

Chorus

So welcome

be safe

have fun

spend a fortune

before you're done

and maybe

if you don't mind

think of me

from time to time

I'm Uncle Walt

I built some castles

I built Disney vaults

 

Spend the whole day on a bench

or you could always brave the haunted hallways of a mansion

that may lead you down a waterfall

to face your laughing place

where things are satisfactual

don't you know?

Spend the night on the street watching fireflies

or any pixie dust trinket pleasing to your eyes

cause even simple precious moments

are all part of the show

Chorus

When you're flying on an elephant

or sipping tea with little Alice and the Hatter

as you spin so freely through the visions of tomorrow

that excite and awe you

try to say a little thanks...

Wonderful song - You are super ! - ciao da sandro

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

Ian and Arianna, Hello friends. This is quite whimsical and it seems to bring out your fun sides, my friends! Kind of celebration of the best of "Uncle Walt." I assume you are singing about Walt Disney. Amazing what he created and all that joy and intrigue I can hear right here in this wonderful song! I didn't know you also draw. That's a great picture of Uncle Walt, Ian! You are both as usual in fine form here with a unique theme and song unlike any of your others, my friends! Top marks from the Man of Clay! VME! 10,000 Suns! 💯 I love your line about flying with an elephant! Whimsical and magical, Ian and Arianna! I hope you're both doing great, and your musical career is very successful! God bless!8-)
