Title: bird (Billy, Andy, Holger)
Post by: soulfrontier on March 13, 2010, 12:00:01 PM
Hello MCS,

here is a new song that I wrote last November. With big big help from Billy and Andy this little tune turned out into a decent song. Billy gave this bird wings to fly with his brilliant, amazing Arrangement and he also played nearly all instruments!
Thank you guys for your help and support! It was a pleasure to work with you, like always  :)

Bird

1.     all that I know is that this bird still can fly
      fly up into the deep blue sky
                   
        all that she said was confusion and hate
        the words came floating through the line

   where is the horse with the deep (red) glowing eyes;
   that tangerine tree inside your head?
   
   See how the sunrise wakes the girl from a dream,
   a new beginning, a new start.
   
Refr.:   And everything is easy, everything is going fine   
   I walk with my head up in the sky.
   
   A  man with a paper is starring in my face   
   and the train comes in and takes us for a ride.

2.         Oh my sweet love where are all the feelings gone?
       Come sit down beneath the garden tree
       let me explain how the yellow light turned red
       and what we have to face to be free.

   What's in your mind and what's in your little case?
   Do you believe that we can go?
   The wind will whisper in your ear and you will know
   that times are changing and  the river flows.

Bridge:
    Oh   sweet    girl
   I'd  like to go with you
          Oh        Oh   little   girl   
   you know what I have to do
                                                     

   see how the sunrise wakes us from a dream   
   a new beginning a new start

Refr.:
   Everything is easy, everything is going fine
   I walk with my head up in the sky



   ...all that I know is that this bird still can fly
       fly up into the deep blue sky

I really like this Holger.  I like all your music ... wish we could find some time to collaborate more.

Regarding the lyrics, they are wonderful.. simple but deeply meaningful.  It tells a passionate story and the music is touching and very creative and interesting.  I LOVE this a lot.  I will be downloading this to my ipod.

Very, very well done everyone.  My style, everything about it...I visualize everything you sing Holger.  I wish I could write like this.

Holger,

Good to see this in the finished songs section. Well done.

It's another of your great songs with simple yet evocative words with a lovely retro musical feel to it.

The vocals are cool and as usual Billy has come up wth a super arrangement.

In fact, listening to the song, makes me feel like I have wandered into a Beatles recording session. The mood of the song is very White Album and the sound is very representative of the Beatles 1967-68 period.

Thanks for letting me play on this song!

Cheers
Andy

hey Roger and Paulo,

thank you guys for listening and feedback! I'm glad that you like the song  :)

Casia my dear,

wow! You are such a great lyricist and your compliment means much to me. I'm only a german guy, the words came to me like a bird comes to an open window...I was not sure about my writing.

Andy,

thank you so much my friend. It was your support that gave me the courage to go on with this song idea. And your bass part is sophisticated  ;)

Yes you all are right, this song was inspired by the Beatles and especially by John Lennon. Billy captured this feeling perfectly with his arrangement.

Thank you!  :)
