Balloon (Pick Word #7)

After a long hiatus, I'm getting back to some lists about special issues. Today's issue is Balloon, which is part of Museum Of Flight series. The rubber balloon which most of us know, was invented by Michael Faraday in 1824 after a few successful experiments. Since that invention, we can watch a lot of balloon releases, especially on Political celebrations or sports events. I've chosen five songs about balloons by Wendy & Lisa, The Kills, Tim Hardin, The Civil Wars and Goo Goo Dolls, enjoy!

1) Wendy & Lisa - Balloon (Taken from White Flags Of Winter Chimneys, 2008)

2) The Kills - Black Balloon (Taken from Midnight Boom, 2008)

3) Tim Hardin - Red Balloon (Taken from Tim Hardin 2, 1967)

 

4) The Civil Wars - Girl With The Red Balloon (Taken from Barton Hollow, 2011)

5) Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon (Taken from Dizzy Up The Girl, 1998)

Kite (Pick Word #5)

When I was younger, I was fascinated by kites, those tethered air crafts that older kids in the neighbourhood flew. First invented in China about 2,800 years ago, the kites were made of silk and Bamboo which were the immediate materials to be used for that then new toy. Today, we can see children and mature people flying they're kites by the sea or in a windy green field far away from the noise of the common life. I searched for songs about kites and found a few that are really great, so enjoy them and try to fly one by yourselves. You can find some similar songs on Museum Of Flight Series
