about
This one is all Dave Anthony. It was originally written as a riff on Timber Timbre's "Sincerely Future Pollution" with a small lyric surrounded by a simmering instrumental that explodes at the end. Dave took what originally was a major key pop instrumental and turned it into a sojourn through a darkened museum and a cat burglar's quest to steal a painting of a bird (dare I say a goldfinch...?). Listen for the James Bond theme...
lyrics
Hey little bird
Such a gilded cage
A lovely artifact
From a different age
Would you like to see
What your wings can do
In another hemisphere
What you always knew
I’ll keep you safe
I’ll keep you free
You’ll keep me warm
Fly away with me
Come fly away with me
Fly away with me
Let’s fly away
Fly away
Such a gilded cage
A lovely artifact
From a different age
Would you like to see
What your wings can do
In another hemisphere
What you always knew
I’ll keep you safe
I’ll keep you free
You’ll keep me warm
Fly away with me
Come fly away with me
Fly away with me
Let’s fly away
Fly away
