Shaza's soulful voice and Baron's dynamic presence blend seamlessly to create a moving narrative. The song opens with vivid imagery of a utopian land, where hope and harmony reign. The lyrics pose a reflective question: "Do we really need to bleed?" suggesting a yearning for peace and unity. The chorus, with its evocative imagery of paper planes flying high and fireworks lighting up the sky, captures a child's perspective on the harsh realities of war. The line "Every moment we live is a moment we cry, every second we breathe is another lifeline" emphasises the preciousness of life and the importance of cherishing every breath, especially for those in conflict zones.
Over and above producing the track, Baron's soulful vocals highlight the need for love and compassion, painting a picture of children playing in the street with broken dreams. The metaphor of a parachute falling from the skies symbolises hope and relief for everyone, emphasising the child's perspective and longing for a better future. The song's refrain, "Breathe in the air, the sun, the ocean," calls to embrace the simple joys of life and the healing power of nature. This message resonates especially for children who, despite their circumstances, find ways to dream and hope.
'Paper Planes' is more than just a song; it's an anthem of hope and the human spirit's unyielding capacity for love and connection. Shaza and Daniel Baron's collaboration brings rich, ethnic, earthy, and emotive sounds that are sure to resonate with audiences globally. A collaboration that came together seamlessly. “Shaza is the most vocally versatile singer and hardworking artist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I believe that her music will uplift many souls for many decades to come. She is a timeless artiste.”
Shaza adds, "Working with Daniel on 'Paper Planes' has been an incredible experience. The message of the song is something we all need right now – a reminder that there's always hope and light, no matter how dark things may seem. The children's perspective adds a poignant layer that makes the song truly special.”
