Well written song with a wrenching delivery, nice!

this is a beautiful song, and beautifully played/sung.

love the laid-back tune & your voice, feels like an old sweater.


Big black bird spinning round your head
Flat on your back feeling good as dead
Sea of sky goes round and round
Coming closer to the ground
So low you drown in blue
  
Big black bird looking down on you
No use in running from the bitter truth 
Raise a glass invite him in
Say a prayer for the living                           
Grab that old crow by the tail
And fly….and fly
 
Hold on tight take another ride on high
Blinded by light scream your battle cry

That old crow ain’t never gonna leave you alone
Perched in a bottle with skulls and crossbones
Let him fly high every night
No matter how you try
You fly a little nearer to the fire
              
And you fly………, and you fly……. and you fly………and you fly……
You fly, you fly, so high in the sky
Fiery wings melt in the light 
And you fall to the ground without a sound 
        
And you fly…….. and you fly………and you fly…




Old Crow

For me, writing music is like my soul coming up for air. My body and my conscious mind are, much of the time, held down under society's expectations. When my spirit can't breathe, it bursts forth and takes control. It fights with my conscious mind, and the struggle is exhausting. But, when my soul wins, the feeling of liberty is inexplicable. Singing is like this, too. I am who I am meant to be through music.
