currently watching twilight breaking dawn part 1 on Netflix and this song started playing for the wedding scene, so I was like I need to hear the full thing again 🥲
Your so right, I watched the whole twilight series about 4 to 5 years ago then never watched it again until about 2 months ago and that nostalgia hit me like a heavy rock to the back of the head
yes when i heard this late loved it, everyone needs true love second time ok then a change 29 yrs i was sick he was a vet lord got me free from that now disabled all i need the love of my lord but i love this song so much beautiful and the saga kept me hooked
I just went to a concert of his and he played this song, they're were hundreds and hundreds of people there but everyone was just dead silent and he sang it a little slower and with only a little guitar but mostly no instrumentation and I looked around and so many people were crying and it was so magical and intimate I hope everyone gets that kind of experience at some point
I imagine the beauty and magic of this song highlights some deep emotions depending on what was going on for each one of those people when they first heard it. Fast forward to today as the world seems to be degrading in so many ways, cheapening, declining, running out, self destructing and add the many people that are no longer with us from that time. Let those tears flow.
So I've been thinking about this song and it's odd lyrics for a while and I've figured it out mostly. It's about the indescribably love and nurturing you feel when you discover something beautiful and helpless in need of your care, in this case a little bird with an injured wing. In both verses he describes himself as something that could hurt the bird, a curious child and a fat rowdy cat, both things that tend to be not very gentle to helpless birds but yet, he falls in love with the bird and cares for it. This delicate tiny, precious thing that falls into his lap so to speak. He's describing falling in love with a woman as if he's met her in multiple lives each time, brought to his knees by the beauty and delicateness of this tiny, beautiful thing. The part about an american mouth and pill is describing losing her like taking a bitter medication. So the story is, curious rambunctious person meets, helpless "flightless bird" falls for her, and wonders what a deep ache it would be lose her. The rest of the lyrics are visual details to make living each of these imagined lives feel more real. Picture now this fat lazy cat chasing animals outdoors, biting and playing and hunting things, only to find this wounded bird, with a broken and wing and instead of chewing it up and killing as a cat would, moved to love this precious little thing. That is the point of the song. Hope it helps
I read from Sam himself it was about morphine addiction. somehow still makes for a great wedding song i guess, i also read he got a kick out of people using it as a wedding dance for the song is actually pretty dark.
I thought your interpretation was beautiful! That’s what’s wonderful about music is that we can all apply our own personal meanings to it. It’s still a feel good song to me, despite its strange meaning lol.
I love it and im in my seventies....it's Beautiful. I just binge watched the entire Twilight Saga and enjoyed it more than when I watched it many years ago.
At the daycare where I used to work, this song was on the CD we played in the toddler room to help the kids fall asleep at naptime. It always instilled such a sense of tranquility, but I never thought to ask the song or the artist. Finding it now by chance, nearly 7 years since the first time I had heard it, it brings back the nostalgia for that simpler time of my life, and makes me want to slow down again- get lost in the forest and run my toes through the soft earth. I think I'll do that; I need to get away from the material things and just breathe again.
Wow this is beautiful I know they're just your words but they're so poetic and beautiful you put how I feel into words. I know I'm young but I feel like a need a place where it's peaceful and quiet where things just slow down and I can just enjoy the way the birds and rain sound. instead of cars and loud music.
Some of the lyrics may not make a lot of sense, but the soul and the emotion is there. This is such a beautiful song. It can mean anything for anybody. It's perfect in my opinion. Amazing.
Last November, my dog died. The night before was great; I drank a little with my friends, went to McDonalds, and came back and watched Twilight with them. Easily one of my favorite college memories. The next morning, I woke up with a call from my mother that I had to come home and put my 15 y/o westie down. What I wouldn't give to have him back. It's so hard to listen to this song now. I wouldn't want to trade his friendship for the world, but I'm glad to have new friends in my life too. When I think of this song, and I think of that night, I try to be thankful that I got to make a good memory before I made a bad one, and be thankful for my friends. It's still hard, of course, but I try to remind myself to be glad those memories happened, not be sad that they're gone.
fck man. it has been 6-7 years since my last dog Douglas died. reading this made me weep like i had that day. its good that you were together on those last moments. i was on school when he passed, and my family just waited for me to get home so we can say goodbye and bury him together. i still feel guilt every time, not being there for him.. as someone said, the pain of losing those you love may come less frequent with time, but it doesnt really get any less painful. i just think to my self that they deserve to be eternally wept for, for someone to never forget that they were once here and the world will forever be slightly worse off without them.
Wow... It feels like having memories that I never had. You know that feeling??? When you listen to a song then your chest gets heavy and you have no clue why? I feel like I wanted to cry. Thanks for this incredible song, Iron and Wine. I'll treasure it forever.
This song brought me comfort when my brothers as diagnosed with brain cancer he’s one of the 5% who survived. I am so grateful he’s with me know he can get in my nerves sometimes but he’s my best friend I remember how stressful it was just waiting in the waiting room waiting for him to get back from surgery. I remember he almost suffocated on a breathing tube I was so scared when it was night time all I could do was fall asleep in the chair next to him. I wasn’t gonna leave him in this dark hospital room alone I put my earphone is his ear and we both listened to this song and he laughed at some of the lyrics and then we starting falling asleep
Such a beautiful song. It has always helped me during hard times. When I saw Sam live back in 2015, I wept like a baby when he sang this song. So many memories came to my mind. Beautiful, beautiful song.
When I lost my husband of 21 years right before Christmas last year, this song brought me so much comfort. A year later, when I hear this song it brings me right back to all the pain of losing my husband last year. Funny how with time, a song that once brought u comfort now brings u pain. Still, it’s such a beautiful song. I have to play it on repeat a few times every time I hear it. Sam has such a beautiful voice. Definitely underrated and not recognized enough.
I'm performing this song.. right now I learning it. This comment tugged at my attention. .. the right time I suppose.. I'll pray your husband finds his way to comfort your soul. Happy birthday 🎂 and happy anniversary. Lots of love and God bless you.
It brings me back to a simpler time in my life, all anxiety goes away, thats why I rewatch the twilight series over and over its a comfort for me and makes me feel better. Twilight will forever help me and be apart of my life.
It's midnight and I'm sitting here, bawling, as i listen to this song on repeat. A few months ago, I lost my sweet angel to cancer, something that had been brewing in him since we got him in 2015. Putting him to rest was one of the hardest things I've experienced. His death had not been easy for anyone; He didn't want to go and we didn't want him to leave. Yet i saw him lay there on the vet's table, seemingly sound asleep in minutes. I felt slight peace knowing the cancer couldn't hurt him anymore, but i thought i lost that feeling soon after. This song popped into my head unannounced, bringing that feeling back after so long. I've never felt more comfort in relating this song to my best friend's peace, thank you. Knowing my baby, my flightless bird, is peaceful helps me feel the same.
I'll never forget when I walked into a local record store back in '07 and heard this playing over their system. It brought me to tears right then and there. Needless to say, I walked out with a CD copy.
I doubt anyone will even see this but- My mother had this playlist on iTunes that just had every song she owned that was slow and not aggressive as bedtime music. We shared a room so she would just play the playlist and go to bed. When I was just laying in bed while my mom slept and this song came on I would get excited for the “I’m a fat house cat part” because I would just imagine a big kitty and it would help me sleep. Now I listen to this song and every time I find a new reason it connects to me. I love this song, it reminds me of when I was safe. It lets me revisit those happy memories and remember when my mother was my safe space. I miss those days.
I’ve always wanted this song at my wedding since I was a girl and I finally got to send it to my fiancé and on this first listen he said “ I love it. It’s decided” and my heart is so FULL ❤️❤️❤️
This is one of those songs that will always be associated with a movie. I'm not even the biggest fan of Twilight or anything, but every time I hear this song I think of the prom scene. Every single time.
it's why I can never decide if I like it or not bc it's done so well (music, shots, sets, genaral idea etc) but then the characters are just really flat
I watched all the movies again a month ago but now I kinda want to do that again.. I just can't get enough of that movie and it's been literally 6 years-
i graduated from wattpad many years ago. i just came back for flowers from 1970 and wow it shattered me. it wasn't even well written but the storyline was A+
PAROLES I was a quick wet boy Diving too deep for coins All of your straight blind eyes Wide on my plastic toys Then when the cops closed the fair I cut my long baby hair Stole me a dog eared map And called for you everywhere Have I found you? Flightless bird, jealous, weeping Or lost you? American mouth Big bill looming Now I'm a fat house cat Cursing my sore blunt tongue Watching the warm poison rats Curl through the wide white fence cracks Pissing on magazine photos Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean Blood of Christ mountain stream Have I found you? Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding Or lost you? American mouth Big bill, stuck going down
@@raptureready5226 the lyrics resonate deeply with me. It's a story of cat and mouse. The game of life in which we chase that thing we love and often find it poisons us. Yet the cure is also found in the poison. It's a very subliminal song
I like this song so much!! It’s not something kids my age really like or know but I could listen to this all day every day!! The emotion to this song really is something magical, I can’t explain it.
We are never too old. Inside all of us we are still those little girls. This brought me back to dreaming again and get moving...greatest song and meaning ever.....
I like this boy and they played this song at the brewery tonight. I just looked at him , it’s too good to be true . I knew all the songs that night and felt like it was the soundtrack too my nostalgia . I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing - but it feels good , and like a warm place . They guy with the pony tail .. He took it down just in time .
Same till I look it up. Because once you look it up. ohh it’s gonna be love song, but no just cause it sounds sad and heartbreakingly does meant it’s not. So don’t be afraid to look up the true meaning. But a big shout out to this band really eye opening folk or indie band.

Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding Or lost you, American mouth Big pill stuck going down
George had his eyes closed, headphones on, laying in his bed. He was listening to Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine, and though he normally listened to songs of a completely different genera than this, he continued to put the song in repeat.
Since the first time i heard this song I had the idea that if I have ever get married this song is gonna be playing in the dance with her, don't be late. I love you
I first heard the wedding version of this song on the twilight soundtrack years ago and it’s still one of the most beautiful romantic songs I’ve ever heard I’m glad they put it on the soundtrack or else I would have never found the rest of these wonderful songs 💖
I love this song so frickin much, I discovered this from twilight years ago, and whenever I play this.. I can still feel the goosebumps this gaveme.. even though I listened to this a million times now❤❤❤❤
Will forever be grateful for my mom liking Twilight and buying the CD. We all love the soundtrack and would listen to it so many times, and the songs always make me think of my childhood, especially this one…
I came across I&W couple months before the twilight scene came along. Either way, as a metal head. I find this song and artist to be the peaceful maker in my existence. Thank you Sam.
My parents are divorced and whenever I go to my dads house, I listen to this song and I think about all the good times with my mom. Not that I hate my dad or anything, it’s just typical homesickness. So whenever I have trouble sleeping, I listen to this.

The morphine addiction viewpoint is heartbreaking, feeling like you should be able to fly, but you can’t, and the persistent ravenous “American Mouth” always consuming, but never satisfied, never with a place or care for the marginalized. Thus is how I felt as a closeted transgender person, needing to fly, never able to. The joyful part of the song for me is the wordless melodic repetitive incantatory ending, where you get the feeling that the bird has somehow broken its chains and is now floating and circling in the air, outside of words or sense or image, but finally free.
This song in my head is associated to a girl that I was madly in love with but she never liked me back. She always sang this song whenever we were hanging out and I had my guitar, she played it with such elegance that I was jealous but in awe at the same time. She was so magical, with such an imagination that seemed endless, sweet and caring, lovable and funny, I didn't think anyone would be more perfect than she was that moment we sat in the church gymnasium and I listened to her sing in the giant room. The acoustics couldn't have been anymore right, my heart fluttered and I grew more fond of her as I hung onto every word she sang. Sadly though, she moved onto college, we lost touch so fast, and the conversations seemed few, short, and far between. I made the ultimate mistake of drunk messaging her that I loved her and I cared so much about her, she told me to never message her back and that broke and sobered me up on the spot. Since then, I'm afraid of getting into anything with another girl, even saying someone looked pretty that day puts me in paralyzing fear because of what had happened before. I'm afraid I won't ever be the same in a relationship. Not since her.
Templar Knight That’s so sad. Not all women are like that. Sometimes when you’re young, have been hurt or are just confused it’s hard to accept love. I’m willing to bet one or all of those things were the reason she couldn’t accept your love at the time. Please don’t give up on love over 1 person. I’ve been hurt countless times but I hope there’s someone out there for me. So sorry
@@Bruceee23low key this is a weird reply. the song doesn’t have to have 1 meaning, and the majority of people who hear it believe it’s a romantic song, so if we wanna be fair. Majority rules. but as I said, songs don’t have one meaning. I want this to play at my wedding next year too. And you better bet it’s a romantic song for that.
i feel like this will be the song I come back to every now and then to remember this feeling vividly. I had rejected my soulmate months ago out of fear and due to me starting a new chapter in my life which was college. I still feel really bad about it and many months have passed to allow me to reflect on it. all I want is to do is reconnect again with them and start that love that I pushed away. it wasn't just something that I wanted but something i knew I needed. I can feel the uncertainty of reciprocation at the moment but I plan on trying to rekindle what we had. muchhhhh love for all of you and future me
"Dream, you were my flower." George said, he knew it was cheesy but there was no other way to say how he felt. *"You said it yourself. Flowers from 1970 couldn't last that long."*
All time favorite for years. Reminds me of all the things I loved and all the nights I was frustrated at the same time. I like many songs and artists but can’t love any of them over this one.

Those words ring so beautifully
Don't make my cry 😭😭😭
currently watching twilight breaking dawn part 1 on Netflix and this song started playing for the wedding scene, so I was like I need to hear the full thing again 🥲
People say Twilight isn't good, but for me it's the nostalgia attached to it, and the music that makes it so memorable.
I’m late but you’re so right ❤️
yup yup yup
@@canderamirez4823 me too, very much, but still very relatable
Agreed. I rewatch the movies, and I can see why people find it cliche and cringey but the nostalgia makes it amazing.

This song will be played at my wedding and everyone must dance to it

yessss
yes when i heard this late loved it, everyone needs true love second time ok then a change 29 yrs i was sick he was a vet lord got me free from that now disabled all i need the love of my lord but i love this song so much beautiful and the saga kept me hooked

Loved seeing him in concert this year.
You re lucky!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I want to go see him later this month so bad
I imagine the beauty and magic of this song highlights some deep emotions depending on what was going on for each one of those people when they first heard it. Fast forward to today as the world seems to be degrading in so many ways, cheapening, declining, running out, self destructing and add the many people that are no longer with us from that time. Let those tears flow.
Ahhh thanks for sharing and I hope the wish in the last line comes true. ❤️Xoxo
It was Kristen Stewart who suggested they use this song for that scene. We stan a queen with a great music taste 😍🥰

There's emotion in this song that transcends the lyrics. It can mean what ever you want it to. It is a gift.
Meowsy Mc Dermott I agree, there is powerful emotion in the lyrics alone.
Never could find the words to describe it, but yes, that is it.
Even loneliness?
Nawwwwww bs bruhh
I dont think it is emotions. The lyrics and the song have a pulse of Life in it. Pure life.

My fiance and I want to have this as our exit song!!@@venatr2865
This is one of those songs that will always be associated with a movie. I'm not even the biggest fan of Twilight or anything, but every time I hear this song I think of the prom scene. Every single time.
and the wedding scene ;)
Twilight Vampire will always remain in my heart until my last breath🥺😭❤
You can be not amazed by Twilight, but you can't be not amazed by Twilight soundtrack.
Viktorija Jankauskaitė' twilight literally has the best soundtrack out there it’s sad people sleep on it :-/
So very true!!
it's why I can never decide if I like it or not bc it's done so well (music, shots, sets, genaral idea etc) but then the characters are just really flat
I honestly love the first Twilight though i never read the book, but the rest were just boring to me.
So true.
I love how literally ANY emotion can fit with this song, it’s so nice to listen to
This song gives me so much comfort. It will be at my wedding as the main song. I love this song so much. “And so the lion fell in love with the lamb"
Currently listening to this song because I miss the twilight era 😢
Lucca Mc coy no sorry :(
I miss the twightlight era too
I watched all the movies again a month ago but now I kinda want to do that again.. I just can't get enough of that movie and it's been literally 6 years-
OH MEU DEUS!!! EU AMO ESSA MÚSICA E SÓ CONSIGO LEMBRAR DA SAGA CREPÚSCULO. FICOU PERFEITA, SOU APAIXONADA 🥺❤😍😍
i graduated from wattpad many years ago. i just came back for flowers from 1970 and wow it shattered me. it wasn't even well written but the storyline was A+
I haven't listened to these guys in ages, stumbled across this by accident, just love their sound. Welcome back to my playlist Iron and Wine.
And mine, i found youuuuuuuuu..❤🌙
PAROLES
I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill looming
Now I'm a fat house cat
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide white fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill, stuck going down
merci!
Beautiful sound but I do not comprehend the lyrics to be honest. Like I don’t get what it means really. Seems so random.
@@raptureready5226 no one really does, babe.
@@raptureready5226 the lyrics resonate deeply with me. It's a story of cat and mouse. The game of life in which we chase that thing we love and often find it poisons us. Yet the cure is also found in the poison. It's a very subliminal song
@@raptureready5226 the lyrics I don't listen to but still this song makes me cry! It's an amazing song!
Hands dowm the best song I ever listened to. So deep and meaningful and beautiful. I could dance forever to this song
I like this song so much!! It’s not something kids my age really like or know but I could listen to this all day every day!! The emotion to this song really is something magical, I can’t explain it.
We are never too old. Inside all of us we are still those little girls. This brought me back to dreaming again and get moving...greatest song and meaning ever.....
I like this boy and they played this song at the brewery tonight. I just looked at him , it’s too good to be true . I knew all the songs that night and felt like it was the soundtrack too my nostalgia . I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing - but it feels good , and like a warm place . They guy with the pony tail .. He took it down just in time .
This almost makes me miss being a dumb teenager that liked Twilight
KngFln, I’m twenty-four and still enjoy the movies, haha.
@@Cosbob They are decent movies. Don't fully understand the hate.
@@Cosbob 26 and still enjoy them myself. I can get that they aren't for everyone, but the soundtrack is underrated as all hell.
Yes same here haha
Ha ha true
The voice of an Angel. ❤
I dont even understand the lyric but i definitely falling in love with the song.
Same till I look it up. Because once you look it up. ohh it’s gonna be love song, but no just cause it sounds sad and heartbreakingly does meant it’s not. So don’t be afraid to look up the true meaning. But a big shout out to this band really eye opening folk or indie band.
Its been 10 years since I listened to this song and I'm still loving it now ❤️❤️❤️
tranquility music to people makes us feel and express different perspectives of ourselves.
I was a quick, wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long, baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you, American mouth
Big pill looming
Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore, blunt tongue
Watching the warm, poisoned rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures
Thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
Or lost you, American mouth
Big pill stuck going down
It's 1am and I am still listening to this beautiful song, couldn't be a better moment.
I just found out about Iron and Wine, absolutely in love, all of their songs are beautifully written
Welcome to the one big family, only love and care and life here
Welcome to the dark side
Passing Afternoon is my favorite. I heard it in House M.D. and I'm glad I did.
George had his eyes closed, headphones on, laying in his bed.
He was listening to Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine, and though he normally listened to songs of a completely different genera than this, he continued to put the song in repeat.
NO!
This song never fails to make me cry.
Same
Since the first time i heard this song I had the idea that if I have ever get married this song is gonna be playing in the dance with her, don't be late. I love you
flowers from 1970 is about to make me cry my heart out I cant....... *cries silently*
i knew i wasn’t the only one who listens to this song because of flowers from 1970
So many years have passed and I still cry with this
So this is the song george was listening to on repeat, makes sense. I havent finished reading it but ill come back when i have
Chapter 12 😭
they never came back, poor thing
whos the author
Love this song. The music is so beautiful and the harmonizes are awesome.
"Im not gonna *end* your *life* for you."
"Im *dying* already, every *second* i get closer.... *older* "
"Thats the way it's *supposed* to be" 😭😭❤
I first heard the wedding version of this song on the twilight soundtrack years ago and it’s still one of the most beautiful romantic songs I’ve ever heard
I’m glad they put it on the soundtrack or else I would have never found the rest of these wonderful songs 💖
"I can't be in 2020,if my heart is in 1970"
"goodnight wrong number"
(that's not old yet)
"Take care of those flowers, Wrong number"
stoppppppppppp
Where this quote from?
Shivers go through the body. Unreal song, music... words... and the movie is one of the best... their love, closeness... touch...❤❤❤
2021 c'mon guys we're in this together♥
Brings back so many memories. Wow how time flies
I wanna know who chose the songs for the twilight movies I just wanna talk. On how u did an amazing job

I heard kristen Stewart actually suggested to use this song!!
Twilight did and will keep bringing me here, and I'm proud of it.
Me tooooooo
Sameeeee
Yaaaas guuurrllll😂😂😂😂
Always
@Lucca Mc coy strangers comments like these always boost my day ☺️
Love this album art... cant stop looking at it, its beautiful
This song is truly expresses how love and then heartbreak feels. in utter aw of how genuinely beautiful it is wow
This is my go to sad song...I've been listening to it for almost 10 years.
Everytime i listen this song with same familiar feelings..... Its been 5 year's I've been listening this... Still i feel like the first time ❤
I forgot how much I loved this album.
ugh, this song makes me cry every time i listen to it. Its just so emotional and beautiful
Simply beautiful, elegant song. Gets ya deep ❤
I love this song so frickin much, I discovered this from twilight years ago, and whenever I play this.. I can still feel the goosebumps this gaveme.. even though I listened to this a million times now❤❤❤❤
Will forever be grateful for my mom liking Twilight and buying the CD. We all love the soundtrack and would listen to it so many times, and the songs always make me think of my childhood, especially this one…
When I was younger like 2 and over (I’m 11 now) my dad always used to play this song and I have been searching for it forever thanks
I still have not figured out what these lyrics even mean, but the song is beautiful nonetheless.
The songs in this album are tough to crack for me
Ditto but I still love it's sound.
I read somewhere it’s about a coming of age and realizing how corrupt American has gotten.
reminds me of my deep depression and it helps it shows what I have made it through and lets me know Ive had worse in my other bad moments
Isn't that weird that I like this song when I was 13, and now I'm 27 and even more like it 😅😊
I came across I&W couple months before the twilight scene came along. Either way, as a metal head. I find this song and artist to be the peaceful maker in my existence. Thank you Sam.
My parents are divorced and whenever I go to my dads house, I listen to this song and I think about all the good times with my mom. Not that I hate my dad or anything, it’s just typical homesickness. So whenever I have trouble sleeping, I listen to this.
This song makes me instantly tear up, I was not prepared for this at work.
They're also on Spotify! Great band and song, so underrated tho
Woke up this morning and this was the first thought I had. I haven’t heard this song in years
Fantastic
so this is what george was listening on loop in a dnf fanfic-
i just finished the fic- haha im in p a i n
Goodnight wrong number..💙💚
@@solluxcaptor8914 goodnight old man who isn’t old yet

I WAS LOOKING IN THE COMMENTS TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HERE FROM IT TOO DVODFJ
@@rebaka2147 SAMEEEE
This is one of my favourite songs of all time !!
K THIS is the song I’m playing at my wedding. PERIOD
Same 😂
Period
This song is so touching from my deep soul.
Twilight brought me here, I'm not ashamed, I love this song
Essence of true love. My professor gave this to me. I will love him till his last breath.
I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your straight light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill looming
Now I'm a fat house cat
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine…
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding

this satiated my craving for the twilight saga nostalgia
The morphine addiction viewpoint is heartbreaking, feeling like you should be able to fly, but you can’t, and the persistent ravenous “American Mouth” always consuming, but never satisfied, never with a place or care for the marginalized. Thus is how I felt as a closeted transgender person, needing to fly, never able to. The joyful part of the song for me is the wordless melodic repetitive incantatory ending, where you get the feeling that the bird has somehow broken its chains and is now floating and circling in the air, outside of words or sense or image, but finally free.
This song in my head is associated to a girl that I was madly in love with but she never liked me back. She always sang this song whenever we were hanging out and I had my guitar, she played it with such elegance that I was jealous but in awe at the same time. She was so magical, with such an imagination that seemed endless, sweet and caring, lovable and funny, I didn't think anyone would be more perfect than she was that moment we sat in the church gymnasium and I listened to her sing in the giant room. The acoustics couldn't have been anymore right, my heart fluttered and I grew more fond of her as I hung onto every word she sang.
Sadly though, she moved onto college, we lost touch so fast, and the conversations seemed few, short, and far between. I made the ultimate mistake of drunk messaging her that I loved her and I cared so much about her, she told me to never message her back and that broke and sobered me up on the spot. Since then, I'm afraid of getting into anything with another girl, even saying someone looked pretty that day puts me in paralyzing fear because of what had happened before.
I'm afraid I won't ever be the same in a relationship. Not since her.
Templar Knight That’s so sad. Not all women are like that. Sometimes when you’re young, have been hurt or are just confused it’s hard to accept love. I’m willing to bet one or all of those things were the reason she couldn’t accept your love at the time. Please don’t give up on love over 1 person. I’ve been hurt countless times but I hope there’s someone out there for me. So sorry
I can't wait for my wedding 💒. I want to play this on my wedding day in next year
But actually the lyrics have nothing to do with love 🙈 though I also found it really romantic because of twilight
@@Bruceee23low key this is a weird reply. the song doesn’t have to have 1 meaning, and the majority of people who hear it believe it’s a romantic song, so if we wanna be fair. Majority rules. but as I said, songs don’t have one meaning. I want this to play at my wedding next year too. And you better bet it’s a romantic song for that.
I can hit every note this song makes me feel like I can actually sing. Good song to start practicing on
This song has been the longest one that I have to decipher its meaning, I love how each one can translate it differently in a story #Poetic #Favourite
my baby sister was crying and wouldn't stop so i took her and played this song, she fell asleep in my arms.
i feel like this will be the song I come back to every now and then to remember this feeling vividly. I had rejected my soulmate months ago out of fear and due to me starting a new chapter in my life which was college. I still feel really bad about it and many months have passed to allow me to reflect on it. all I want is to do is reconnect again with them and start that love that I pushed away. it wasn't just something that I wanted but something i knew I needed. I can feel the uncertainty of reciprocation at the moment but I plan on trying to rekindle what we had. muchhhhh love for all of you and future me
do it, go to them. talk to them, listen, and clear things up.
Hi baby
"Dream, you were my flower." George said, he knew it was cheesy but there was no other way to say how he felt.
*"You said it yourself. Flowers from 1970 couldn't last that long."*
@Renita Peter *[sOBS]*
NEVER DO THIS AGAIN, NO!!! MY HEART NO!!!
Let's start with forever...
😭😭😭
*cries harder*
FOREVER
All time favorite for years. Reminds me of all the things I loved and all the nights I was frustrated at the same time. I like many songs and artists but can’t love any of them over this one.
Wow this song is beautiful.
this is one of my favourite songs
