Balsa Racers is Oscar Laun and anybody else who happens to be at G.O.Recording Studio. But primarily Oscar.
Balsa Racers is my solo project. It originally was called "Dewey Wins", but the litigiousness of the Chicago SunTimes (not with my band but with a band in the same name genre called "Dewey Defeats Truman") and the break-up of the band put that name to rest. Balsa Racers is currently a one man studio operation and solo acoustic performance. I do not try to stay within one genre, tho the songs end up being "crafted pop" and less "jam".

Story behind the song
Sometimes you don't know how something you say is going to effect someone else. From "Great Job!" to "Yeah, whatever." From "I love you" to "Meh." Great pains are spent to perfecting speeches, so there is a science to word's effects on crowds, and just as easily on an individual basis, words can make you plummet or soar.
Lyrics
Words Have Weight We just sit in these four walls Regarding what to say But nothing unsaid can chase these gray thoughts away Sit here and let’s talk Sail the conversation sea When next the sun comes shining upon our door We’ll see we’re on a foreign shore Words have weight that gravity doesn’t share They drag and trip and hold Words bring chains and locks and pain When they’re fighting for control We all want someone who’ll miss us when we’re away We all want someone who will kiss all our fears away We all want someone who’ll hold our hands and sigh And promise us they won’t say goodbye Words have weight that gravity cannot see They move and soothe our souls Words have wings that lift us to higher spaces Then leaving us to grow together Through all that we weather They take us through, me and you Leaving us to be together Me and you We just sit and stare a while Let the catalyst relax We both know there won’t soon be another act Sit here and let’s talk Sail the conversation sea When next the sun comes shining upon our door We’ll see we’re on a foreign shore Words have weight that science can’t quantify They soothe, persuade, control Words create and destroy upon circumstance And warm and chill our souls
