In this simple jazz tune, Esperanza puts William Blake’s poem “Little Fly” to her own instrumental. The poem is written about a man that questions the existence of mankind after accidentally killing a fly.
Little fly
Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
Man like me?
Little fly
For I dance
And drink, and sing
'Til some blind hand
Shall brush my wing
If thought is life
And strength and breath
And the want
Of thought is death;
Little fly
Then am I
A happy fly
If I live
Or if I die
Little Fly was written by William Blake & Esperanza Spalding.
Little Fly was produced by Gil Goldstein & Esperanza Spalding.
Esperanza Spalding released Little Fly on Tue Aug 17 2010.
