Ron Allen Turns a Canceled Flight into Musical Gold with "Stranded in Paris"
Ron Allen didn’t plan on his latest track, “Stranded in Paris,” to come out of a travel mishap, but sometimes inspiration hits in the most unexpected ways. After a soul-recharging trip to Sicily, Ron was en route back to Toronto when an Air France layover in Paris took a sudden detour. The airline canceled the flight due to safety issues, leaving him stranded at Charles de Gaulle airport, armed with nothing but a lackluster airline food kit and hours to kill. Rather than sulk, Ron decided to turn the chaos into an adventure.
“What are you gonna do?” he laughs, recounting the experience. “After a few hours of wandering around the airport, I finally made it to the hotel they put us up in, but I couldn’t just sit around.” So, Ron did what any restless DJ would do—he grabbed an Uber and headed straight into downtown Paris, which happened to be buzzing with Olympic energy. “The city was alive in a way I hadn’t expected. The whole vibe, the lights, the people—it was electric. I thought, ‘I’m definitely coming back here.’” That wild mix of frustration, spontaneity, and the unmistakable beauty of Paris became the pulse of “Stranded in Paris,” a track that captures both the tension of being stuck and the freedom of surrendering to the moment. Classic Ron Allen, turning life’s inconveniences into musical gold.
The Bandcamp release also features an exclusive loungy-jazz vocal version inspired from the wonderful Parisian cafes.
