Paul Holmes Immortalizes Balloon Boy With 2 New Songs

After scouring northern Colorado by foot and air, frantically chasing a Mylar balloon for miles and repeatedly interviewing his big brother, authorities ended the search for 6-year-old Falcon Heene where it began -- at his house.

6-year-old Falcon Heene says he was hiding in a box in the attic while authorities were searching for him.

He was in a box. In the attic. The whole time. —as reported by CNN

All day today people kept up to date with the continuing saga of Falcon, a young boy who had apparently set adrift in a hot air balloon. All over the internet people were twittering, facebooking, and blogging all about "balloon boy." We found out that his family had been on

Wife Swap not once but twice. We worried about his safety, and wondered why we hadn't done this as kids.

Amused by the whole spectacle, Paul & The Patients lead singer Paul Holmes wrote a song in honor of Falcon titling it "Hot Air Balloon."

Not long after, it was discovered that Falcon had actually been hiding in a cardboard box in the attic, Holmes jumped at the chance to write the follow up, "Cardboard Box."

Paul & The Patients will be playing multiple shows during next week's CMJ Music Marathon. Maybe they'll even play one of these 2 brand new songs.
