Melua, Katie - Plane Song Lyrics
The seats were all dusty
The side doors were open
Those airplanes were left there years ago
Granddad had spoken of forests in Russia
I pictured him walking in ten inches of snow
We liked pretending those planes could fly
That nothing was out of reach in the whole of the sky
It was just pretending, simple to do
We'd make some plans and travel someplace new
Paris and London
Those cities in movies
Perfect lives were lived if they could be believed
Back in the real world they seemed so distant
But none of it mattered in the airplane field
We liked pretending those planes could fly
That rusty old wings knew the entire sky
It was just pretending there was nothing more
Hey, why the sad face? Can't you feel this cabin soar
It was great pretending those planes could fly
That nothing was out of reach in the whole of the sky
Come on hurry we'll soon be gone
It's time for us to put our seat belts on

Melua, Katie Plane Song Comments
Que maravilla...
I say it: I think this is the best music of the 2010s (along with the Imany - Don't Be So Shy (Filatov & Karas Remix)).
ABUSE THAT REPEAT BUTTON!
Keti many loves from georgia
The best, most beautiful, greatest melancholic song ever. Quite amazing, brilliant atmosphere. One of my favorite Katie songs has become.
But the video is also a masterpiece, a perfect match to it.
The song is just purely magical.
I'm really honoured that you like my video. I always try to feel the song & connect it with the clips.
I couldn't agree more Convar, a brilliant song!
Chords please ! <3
Unfortunately I don't know them, but I wish I could listen to someone's playing it :)
This is a lovely song,like always Katie sings this song wonderfully we lovethis song so much.
Thank you Mimulusiaa! This is indeed a fantastic song. Years ago I was living on a remote island in Russia: Sakhalin, north of Japan. There was an old air strip where they had parked old rusted planes - and I walked around these planes in half a meter of snow.... I still have pictures of them!
And 12 years later, Katie Melua makes such a beautiful song about what I experienced years ago! And the Gori Women Choir, how amazing they are.
I listened to thousands of albums over the years, so not very often a new album makes it to my list of favourites. But this one.... yes, straight into my favourites, it's a gorgeous album.
Oh my, really? I only can imagine that. I still remember her intro to this song while she was telling the story about her and her brother playing in such places.
Yes, the Choir is phenomenal and their album is a masterpiece!
Do you like to see the pictures of those old airplanes in the snow? I can send them if you like them, you can add them to your video
Surely I'd like to see! :) you can message me on facebook : facebook.com/annaxnowak
Hi Anna, I have uploaded the pictures of the old rusty Russian planes in the Sakhalin snow on your Facebook via my niece Rosanna
Deep. True. Childhood Nostalgia. Utopia.
Where is she going to be? That you in 10 yrs only now can see her live
She is amazing. Live i saw her after 3 album. My first 2.5 i likes.
This album is first im oke with again.
In between i feel without mike batt she was lost..
There's an interesting story behind this song. Katie (her real name is Ketevan) was born in 1984 in Kutaisi, then Georgian Republic of the Soviet Union. She and her brother used to play in abandoned airplanes on a disused airfield. And the "Plane Song" is a reminiscence of her dreams od that time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOB5HKCLQ3E BTW, it loos like she never lost her interest in aviation :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxlWaime6XE
I know! She mentioned that on her concert in Poland last year! I was completely moved by the story. Now every time I listen to "Plane song" I imagine her & her brother playing "in the airplane field". Thanks for the links! :)
