There is something magical, metaphorical and romantic about this song. It's not overrated and screams the word romance about it. It has a subtle charm and aura of romanticism that does not overly expressive and fabricated words of endearment and love. It's the type of song that makes you want to slow dance with the right person, in the night where the stars are twinkling and the city lights are blurring ever so slightly.
+Edward Tiah Some think this song is about love and romance. IMO the song is about life experiences: childhood years, growing up, chasing dreams, disappointments about adult life and the world, I guess his use of the words "pissing on magazine photos" is a metaphor for being disgusted with the media, etc. just my 2 cents
Our wedding song. My wife used to listen to this daily when I was out in Afghanistan. A year and a half after my last tour she passed away from cancer. I now play it often to my daughter when we remember mummy….x
this will forever be one of my biggest regrets on my wedding day. wanted this to be my first dance song after my husband's song choice, told the dj to play the song flightless bird, and lo and behold he played 3 little birds by Bob Marley.
+Chayanis Lee The first verse sets our protagonist as an innocent child (quick, wet, diving too deep) - newly born, baptized, full of energy/enthusiasm, carefree. We get a glimpse of what's to come through the "blind" eyes of the adult world whom the child can already see seem focused on material things ("plastic toys"). The "cops" (his own adulthood) crash the party and he's forced to grow up and give up his pure youthful enjoyment of life (cut his baby hair). Thus, he begins his quest to find his meaning/life in this adult American landscape. For me, it also brings to mind the end of the idealism of the peace/protest movement of the late 60's...the system crushes the uprising...the hippies cut their hair...and wander off...going on to what? Well, the second verse tells us exactly where our protagonist's journey has landed him...a big fat safe spot with the adults of his youth. He's achieved the "American Dream", or has he? Now all talk and no action. He curses himself and the wrong/injustice he sees around him, yet he idly sits and watches these "poison rats" (the establishment, big business, corrupt government) slither by and destroy his ideal world. He bides his time in his magazines, finding pleasure in viewing some advertisement of folks fishing in some idyllic river. He is not out there himself, but even if he was, he would be merely pillaging/ruining/sacrificing a place of nature ("blood of christ mountain stream"). It's a really depressing song, but it's certainly beautiful.
This song makes me fall in love with someone who I've never met , imagining that I'm dancing in our wedding and it makes me cry for being single and have no one to send . It's really gorgeous ❤
Oh wow I feel the same. Dancing to this song on my wedding day...I can see myself dancing to it...but I can't see the face of my future husband yet. That's the amazing thing about this song. It is magic❤
Well I danced with my husband of 32 years at our vow renewal in Victoria Canada on the medieval stone bridge overlooking the ocean while strangers looked on and and clapped for up and I danced with them too! Unchained Melody, Eres Tu, and a few others asked me how we could keep love alive after 32 years. You know what the secret is? It is just do not freaked every time life throws you a curve ball or deciding that being married is much better than better than being alone and and heartbroken. It is getting an education before you are married and making sure he has an education as well. If you get laid laid off, then go get your Masters degree and same for. Then keep reaching for the next degree if you can’t get a job. You can never be too well educated!
Love is a flightless bird, always dodging the cats and rodents. A rat will eat a bird. Chirping for a bit of seed. Never knowing the joy of the tree tops, but always looking upward. Never knowing the pride in shitting on a car, but keeping the embers of hope burning. You probably won't find love, but the hope will always be there. The hope is your flightless bird.
I don't believe the song has to only be about tragedy. For me, it's about realizing your dreams; in this case, it's about finding the person you belong with. It's a reminder of the difficulties that you had to overcome in order to realize this dream and find where you truly belong :)
Someone I loved deeply passed away some years ago. I asked for a sign that he was still with me and this song played. It fits, and I miss him so so much. I imagine we are dancing to this song on a rooftop. ❤
This song is perfect! It reminds me Twilight and those amazing years I had with the entire saga... I can't believe it finished! I'll always have Edward and Bella in my heart
"Have I found you? Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you?" this is my favorite part of this song. This song was dedicated to me, in memory of the child that I lost two years ago to a miscarriage. Thank you for giving something to hold onto when my little one is so far out of reach
When I was a teenager, I met this girl. THE girl that you'd only meet once in a lifetime. To feel that bliss of love for the first time just makes everything slow down. Makes you wish it stays that way forever. Had this song running in my mind every time I see her. Imagined her walking along the isle while I wait for her at the end. That's either during our wedding or when we're doing our grocery. Or maybe when we see the nurse carry our first born in the room. To see our children grow and maybe even see our grandchildren. See each other grow old. It was a good run, Me and Her. 12 years. Years of growing up together. Years of loving each other as best and as hard as we could. In this world though, some stories don't end with happy endings. Wherever you are now, my dearest. I will always love you. Those 12 years, they are the best years of my life. A life of being with you.
This song has to be one of the most beautifully created and performed pieces I've been able to experience. And if my wedding day comes, I will dance to this song in the arms of my love with my heart on fire.
It took me years to realize how this song sounds a lot like love you know? How some parts of the lyrics don't make sense but I'd still play it anyway, still hum it anyway, still sing it even if it does not make any sense. This song captures love in the simplest way. Love is complex and easy to hear at the same time.
I feel like this song is open enough to interpretation that feelings can freely express themselves... But the loss is very real in this song. I'm sorry for yours.
Imagine going to war the next morning and you and your love are slow dancing to this song while both are gently weeping unsure about whether you will be together again. The fire burning, warm lights but coldness everywhere.
This song is magical and beautiful it relaxes me I'm just in love with this song I could listen to it over and over again. 😍😍. Being in love is a beautiful thing.
There (s)he stares into your eyes and for a moment you feel you could get lost in the gateway of their utopia. Everything around you seems still and yet you feel yourself gliding from the energy released from this potent chemical called Love. Your breathing becomes unfamiliar with the first touch creating a convulsion of fire radiating through ones body. Your senses are heighten and for a moment you are frighten because you are now exposed and vulnerable. (S)he smiles, smiles in a way that reminds you of the first time you feel in love. That awkward teenage love where you're not sure how to express yourself, but smiling is the only way that you can verbalize the words "I am here with you, that nothing and no one can take me from this moment.. because I love you." and so you let go and release the flames of your desire. You embrace the next touch as your finger entwine with one another and as close your eyes, you hope that you can draw this moment on your eyelids so that when you two apart you can close yourself away from the world and travel back to that moment. That moment where out of the 7 billion people living here on earth you found the ONE to love you for all that you were, for all that you are and for all that you will be.
I discovered this song in the obvious way. My teenage daughter loved the Twilight movies. I watched them with her, because I love hanging out with my daughters, no matter what's going on. The moment this song came on screen, I was infatuated with it. I love "haunting" songs, and this is one of the most beautiful, haunting songs, I have ever heard.
We were dancing in the kitchen with our hands intertwined. The room lit by the pale moonlight and no words being shared except for our own breaths.This moment felt like no other. It was surreal and beautiful. Every emotion we felt being shared with one another through our movements. Wide smiles plastered on both of our faces. The faint sounds from the vinyl playing 'Flightless Bird' in the background played throughout the night. The tragedy of it all being that it was all pure hope and imagination. I felt their presence fade away as I opened up my eyes. The warmth and beauty of the night slipping away as fast as it came. A sad smile appeared on my face. If only she knew how obsessively I thought and wrote about her. She was my muse and I was a fool to have let her go.
It was one of the main songs of Twilight (the movie) and I think it also played in the scene where they got married :) hence the rendition Wedding Version.
This has been my favourite song since 2008. To this date, nothing has been able to top it, at this point i don't think i will ever hear a more beautiful song.
It's been years, and for me to be listening to the very same song that hid every bit of my memory of you today feels so lonely. Thank you for all of these memories. You will always be a part of who I am today, always and will be.
this song remind me the picture of me dancing, with my husband and we celebrating our 40 years old marriage... but now i'm only 23 and single af. hahahaha
Well I'm about to be 60 in April, and I plan on whipping out my good wireless speaker and firing this baby up tonight for a New Year's dance with my husband to ring in 2021. We've only been together 20 years, though :-)
I love this song; but this rendition is so melting! It is going to be one of the songs played at my wedding (hopefully this next spring!!). We have even considered finding the pure instrumental to be played rather than the traditional wedding march. This wedding will be small, yes, but it will not ever be forgotten! :)
10 years! And I still can't get enough of this song. I've always wanted it to be played on my wedding someday and to actually have a WEDDING VERSION is a dream come true. Thank youuu!
The only reason I know this song is because I'm obsessed with Twilight. Yes obsessed. And I'm playing this at my wedding. This song just gives me an amazing and safe feeling. Its romantic and weird but I love it.
This song speaks volumes to me. The meaning behind the words, what it represents in our lives, and in society... The lyrics are a little crazy, but their meaning is beautiful, and the instruments were beautiful. I play violin myself, so the sound of any classical string instrument brings me great joy. I love to write, and hearing this version for the first time, sparked a wonderful story in my mind, and I was elated to put it in writing. Slow dancing to this song was one of my greatest joys, and it is a memory that I hold very dear to my heart.
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 poison 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
Listening and reading these lyrics gave me a whole new view listened and loved this song for years just grasping a whole new view. May be wrong in my speculations but I'll vibe with what I got in this moment. Thank you

You embrace the next touch as your finger entwine with one another and as you close your eyes, you hope that you can draw this moment inside the linings of your heart, so that when you two apart you can close yourself away from the world and travel back to that moment. That moment you discovered where out of the 7 billion people living here on earth you found the ONE to love you for all that you were, for all that you are and for all that you will be.
The first time we locked eyes, time really did seem to freeze... all we could is smile. Long apart but.. after all these years I still travel back to that moment that seems forever ingrained Into my memory and in an instant, time stops again. -thank you to whoever wrote this poem, it was very beautiful.
Cara como eu amo essa música, lembro em 2012 quando perdi pessoas muito importante na minha vida e essa música me trouxe uma paz muito grande dentro de mim. 10 anos depois estou ouvindo novamente e chorando de alegria por ter vencido na vida ❤️
I sang at my cousin's wedding and I totally bombed so I was feeling terrible, then I was supposed to sing this for their first dance but the emcee must have forgotten or skipped and I didn't want to remind him so I didn't have to get up on stage again. But! My cousin insisted I sing it. So he led his beautiful bride onto the dance floor, had me sing and I did... In fact, I sang it well. I felt sort of redeemed. This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. I've loved it since my Twilight phase but now it has even better memories attached to it. ❤️❤️❤️
To me, this song is the encapsulation of the word PARADOX. The score is captivating and takes one to a place by the fortunate listener. A beautiful work of art. Given to us by gifted singer and instrumental genious. I swoon with everyone else when I hear it. And then there are the lyrics. Birds with broken wings lying bloody. Things "pissing" on other things. Perhaps there is tremendous metaphor that I am missing. Without sounding offensive, could I request a "sequel" version with passionate, sappy, hopelessly in love lyrics that can unashamedly be played before the grandparents at the wedding, or be dubbed "our song" without any looming pills? Forgive me if I am out of line...I'm only one American mouth.
joseph arthur This is NOT a wedding song. The band says its a political statement about how Americans were once innocent, now turned jaded, lazy and materialistic. lol You should research songs before using them for a wedding. This is the most inappropriate song for a wedding.
This is will be my first dance song with my soon to be husband on our wedding November 2022 🥲. There’s something about this song that I love and I told myself I’ll dance this song one day with my partner and now I will 🥰🤍
OMGOODNESS!❤ I've ALWAYS LOVED this song, but this is the most beautiful version I've ever heard. It's been one of my favorites since I first heard it on Twilight, but it's now my #1 FAVORITE song! I will suggest it for every wedding I'm a part of. Nothing more romantic! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song makes me fall in love over and over again. I'll be tying the knot with the love of my love this year, and we'll definitely dance our hearts out with this song. 2021 and never get tired listening to this masterpiece.
Angelical bliss. Sublime voice. Heartstring pulling lyrics. I appreciate watching actual instruments being played and the beautiful singers. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Oh god, this is just too perfect. I've stopped listening to this song for the last 6 years cuz I just abused it a thousand times on my playlist. Now, I have come back and it's still beautiful
The whole soundtrack was beautiful & fitted right for every Twilight Movie very beautiful put together what a live song & the way they singing it out you in a different mind set #Twiligjt Sage
There is something magical, metaphorical and romantic about this song. It's not overrated and screams the word romance about it. It has a subtle charm and aura of romanticism that does not overly expressive and fabricated words of endearment and love. It's the type of song that makes you want to slow dance with the right person, in the night where the stars are twinkling and the city lights are blurring ever so slightly.
This comment is so beautiful
Lianza D. Couldnt agree more 💕
Exactly!
ah, and u make me cry 😢
that's a wonderful thought.
I never thought Pissing on magazine photos could be so romantic
+Edward Tiah Some think this song is about love and romance. IMO the song is about life experiences: childhood years, growing up, chasing dreams, disappointments about adult life and the world, I guess his use of the words "pissing on magazine photos" is a metaphor for being disgusted with the media, etc. just my 2 cents
+Edward Tiah looooollllooooooolll
It's very romantic. Try that. Your girl will love it
That is gross. Why didn't they change that lyric for the "Wedding Version"?
Bobsworld76 Made this version for Bella and Edward's wedding in the last movie of the Twilight saga
This king of song makes me wanna be in love.
*kind
Wow! Congratulations and I'm wishing you ang Allyson all the Best Wishes in the world :)

Even I'm not a fan of Twilight anymore,this song and Tunning page are going to be my wedding songs one day

I want to walk down the aisle on Turning Page!!
橙陳若 yeah these two songs r really beautiful...u married now..?

Our wedding song. My wife used to listen to this daily when I was out in Afghanistan. A year and a half after my last tour she passed away from cancer. I now play it often to my daughter when we remember mummy….x
🙏🙏🙏
Be strong Chris
Kizin ve sen hep mutlu olun😌
Sorry for your loss, Chris. Best of luck to you and your daughter moving forward. Fuck cancer.
Prayers for you brother
All these bearded men and their angelic voices. Damn you beard!! Grow!!!

This made my day
this will forever be one of my biggest regrets on my wedding day. wanted this to be my first dance song after my husband's song choice, told the dj to play the song flightless bird, and lo and behold he played 3 little birds by Bob Marley.

+andthatswhenisaid yes yes totally agree
Have you written a song???than shut the fuck up
o
As well as pissing on magazines
this song is absolutely beautiful when you understand it. it's full of metaphor
Could you explain? I love the melody but the lyrics still confused me. Please.

+Nur Nadiah i google it tho 😀
metaphors are easy lol
+Nur Nadiah Hebat juga orang indo bisa ngerti :D bangga
it's magic to listen to something that makes your heart feel real
This song makes me fall in love with someone who I've never met , imagining that I'm dancing in our wedding and it makes me cry for being single and have no one to send . It's really gorgeous ❤
Oh wow I feel the same. Dancing to this song on my wedding day...I can see myself dancing to it...but I can't see the face of my future husband yet.
That's the amazing thing about this song. It is magic❤
Yeah like, i can see I'm dancing with my future husband with this at our wedding
Well I danced with my husband of 32 years at our vow renewal in Victoria Canada on the medieval stone bridge overlooking the ocean while strangers looked on and and clapped for up and I danced with them too! Unchained Melody, Eres Tu, and a few others asked me how we could keep love alive after
32 years. You know what the secret is? It is just do not freaked every time life throws you a curve ball or deciding that being married is much better than better than being alone and and heartbroken. It is getting an education before you are married and making sure he has an education as well. If you get laid laid off, then go get your Masters degree and same for.

@@kgb8825 For happiness and for true love, education is unnecessary.
Love is a flightless bird, always dodging the cats and rodents. A rat will eat a bird. Chirping for a bit of seed. Never knowing the joy of the tree tops, but always looking upward. Never knowing the pride in shitting on a car, but keeping the embers of hope burning. You probably won't find love, but the hope will always be there. The hope is your flightless bird.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to dance, cry or make love to this song. Absolutely stunning song.
This comment is funny
Or Maybe all 3?
Maybe all three?? ...
The order would definitely be situation dependent.
I don't believe the song has to only be about tragedy. For me, it's about realizing your dreams; in this case, it's about finding the person you belong with. It's a reminder of the difficulties that you had to overcome in order to realize this dream and find where you truly belong :)
Someone I loved deeply passed away some years ago. I asked for a sign that he was still with me and this song played. It fits, and I miss him so so much. I imagine we are dancing to this song on a rooftop. ❤
He's singing so gently, I love it, its isn't forced
This song is perfect! It reminds me Twilight and those amazing years I had with the entire saga... I can't believe it finished! I'll always have Edward and Bella in my heart
Yes 2020 still rewatching the series 😻🙌
"Have I found you? Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you?" this is my favorite part of this song. This song was dedicated to me, in memory of the child that I lost two years ago to a miscarriage. Thank you for giving something to hold onto when my little one is so far out of reach
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
When I was a teenager, I met this girl. THE girl that you'd only meet once in a lifetime. To feel that bliss of love for the first time just makes everything slow down.

See each other grow old.
It was a good run, Me and Her. 12 years. Years of growing up together. Years of loving each other as best and as hard as we could. In this world though, some stories don't end with happy endings.
Wherever you are now, my dearest. I will always love you. Those 12 years, they are the best years of my life.
A life of being with you.
you made me cryyyyy, so emotional. I just never read any comments better than this one. Maybe you should write a book about this
Such an amazing way to look at a romsnce together. Absolutely beautiful
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL X
..you nailed love in that post. I hope you found it again.
...peace and love to you x
This song has to be one of the most beautifully created and performed pieces I've been able to experience. And if my wedding day comes, I will dance to this song in the arms of my love with my heart on fire.
Hope for you the best🙏🏻🙌🙌♥️♥️
It took me years to realize how this song sounds a lot like love you know? How some parts of the lyrics don't make sense but I'd still play it anyway, still hum it anyway, still sing it even if it does not make any sense. This song captures love in the simplest way.

I don't care how weird the lyrics are. The melody is so beautiful.
Yes! Perfect melody!
C'mon people pissing on magazines does not conjure a romantic notion!
Weird? The lyrics are frickin' amazing --- equally as beautiful as the melody.
pissing on magazines........... thats a line you want while you are slow dancing at your wedding
Nothing ever sounded so romantic as that! xD
It just makes me cry, because I had to put my Dog to sleep. I miss him more than words can express.
I feel like this song is open enough to interpretation that feelings can freely express themselves... But the loss is very real in this song.
I'm sorry for yours.
Beautiful song.All I can think of is holding my beautiful wife of 48 years and have it playing.
Imagine going to war the next morning and you and your love are slow dancing to this song while both are gently weeping unsure about whether you will be together again. The fire burning, warm lights but coldness everywhere.
I didn’t need to cry moreeeeee😩🥺
Karan...no!!!!😭😭😭
I was a quick brown fox jumping over the lazy dog
😂😂😂😂😂
hahahahaaaaaaaaa. rofl 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣 🤣 🤣 I'm dedddd
I'M DEAD. 😂😂😂😭😭😭😂😂😂😂

This song is magical and beautiful it relaxes me I'm just in love with this song I could listen to it over and over again. 😍😍. Being in love is a beautiful thing.
same
Janette Rhea boob
Indeed it is!
Just one last time... *song finishes* *hits replay*
Was the song my wife walked down the aisle to ,first time alot of people ever saw me crying, one of the greatest most beautiful moments in my life.
Love has definitely left me... a flightless bird .....
it’s insane how love can lift you so high & when it’s gone how low you fall
This song touches my cold dark soul. One of my favorite songs of all time for sure.
Don't you feel like falling in love?
Siiii...😊
I am with the melody...
There (s)he stares into your eyes and for a moment you feel you could get lost in the gateway of their utopia. Everything around you seems still and yet you feel yourself gliding from the energy released from this potent chemical called Love. Your breathing becomes unfamiliar with the first touch creating a convulsion of fire radiating through ones body. Your senses are heighten and for a moment you are frighten because you are now exposed and vulnerable. (S)he smiles, smiles in a way that reminds you of the first time you feel in love. That awkward teenage love where you're not sure how to express yourself, but smiling is the only way that you can verbalize the words "I am here with you, that nothing and no one can take me from this moment.. because I love you." and so you let go and release the flames of your desire. You embrace the next touch as your finger entwine with one another and as close your eyes, you hope that you can draw this moment on your eyelids so that when you two apart you can close yourself away from the world and travel back to that moment. That moment where out of the 7 billion people living here on earth you found the ONE to love you for all that you were, for all that you are and for all that you will be.
q hermosas palabras como puedes describir ese amor
Thanks ***** vanessa alcantara calero :) glad you two enjoyed.
Aaaww T-T
😍
this is so beautiful .. all those who have ever fallen in love know exactly what you mean .. thank you for these words!!
Just when i thought this song couldn't be more beautiful
♫ dieser Song ruft die höhsten Gefühle in uns, sie erwachen und steigen ins uns auf, wie fliegende Vögel ♥
Nostalgia
I danced this song in 2014, when I turned 15 years.... It was magical
if i were to ever fall in love again and it was up to a point of marriage, i would love for this to be my wedding song.
I discovered this song in the obvious way. My teenage daughter loved the Twilight movies. I watched them with her, because I love hanging out with my daughters, no matter what's going on. The moment this song came on screen, I was infatuated with it. I love "haunting" songs, and this is one of the most beautiful, haunting songs, I have ever heard.

If only she knew how obsessively I thought and wrote about her. She was my muse and I was a fool to have let her go.
When I listen to this music I feel the rain comes from love..
I'm falling in love with him all over again. I can't believe this song finaly in our wedding :')
@2:29 always gets me. You can see the song hits her, like it hits all of us.
It was one of the main songs of Twilight (the movie) and I think it also played in the scene where they got married :) hence the rendition Wedding Version.
People need to stop hating and love music for what it is.
The most unbelievably stunningly beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. My breath was held for its entirety
His voice is healing and angelic❤
I didn’t know I could love this song more than I already did.
The studio has never sounded so beautiful
The backup vocals are what give me chills with this. It's such a perfect harmony
This has been my favourite song since 2008. To this date, nothing has been able to top it, at this point i don't think i will ever hear a more beautiful song.
"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" 😭😭❤
A twilighter
Bella and Edward 💞
missing those years ❤️😭
Twilight 🌗😍👫
Finally it's time for wedding.
Go sister Go
It's our favourite song.
So love this ❤ and twilight even in my 50s ☺
This is what "beauty" sounds like!
It's been years, and for me to be listening to the very same song that hid every bit of my memory of you today feels so lonely. Thank you for all of these memories. You will always be a part of who I am today, always and will be.
Alexis Panlaqui same.
this song remind me the picture of me dancing, with my husband and we celebrating our 40 years old marriage... but now i'm only 23 and single af. hahahaha
Hold on tight! Hopefully things have turned out pretty beautiful for you, already!
Well I'm about to be 60 in April, and I plan on whipping out my good wireless speaker and firing this baby up tonight for a New Year's dance with my husband to ring in 2021. We've only been together 20 years, though :-)
whats af? what's single as fuck? do you even think before writing?
I hope your day dream come true! 😊

This one of them songs that makes you cry on cue
I love this song; but this rendition is so melting! It is going to be one of the songs played at my wedding (hopefully this next spring!!). We have even considered finding the pure instrumental to be played rather than the traditional wedding march. This wedding will be small, yes, but it will not ever be forgotten! :)
god, if we all pretend to believe you will you stop?
+Christopher Stewart rude
Vitamin String Quartet has an instrumental version that I used for my wedding march. It's beautiful
+Sarah Siegmann Thank you for the information. :) Will definitely be purchasing. :)
I just saw this comment, did you get married? How was your wedding?
... just had me a good cry
beautiful song
10 years! And I still can't get enough of this song. I've always wanted it to be played on my wedding someday and to actually have a WEDDING VERSION is a dream come true. Thank youuu!
0:41-1:21 SMOOTH 😩😩😍😍♥️♥️
Could hear it over and over until there’s no tomorrow 💯 I love this song 🎶
The only reason I know this song is because I'm obsessed with Twilight. Yes obsessed. And I'm playing this at my wedding. This song just gives me an amazing and safe feeling. Its romantic and weird but I love it.
This song speaks volumes to me. The meaning behind the words, what it represents in our lives, and in society... The lyrics are a little crazy, but their meaning is beautiful, and the instruments were beautiful. I play violin myself, so the sound of any classical string instrument brings me great joy. I love to write, and hearing this version for the first time, sparked a wonderful story in my mind, and I was elated to put it in writing. Slow dancing to this song was one of my greatest joys, and it is a memory that I hold very dear to my heart.
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 poison 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
Woah
Listening and reading these lyrics gave me a whole new view listened and loved this song for years just grasping a whole new view. May be wrong in my speculations but I'll vibe with what I got in this moment. Thank you
There (s)he stares into your eyes and for a moment you feel you could get lost in the gateway of their utopia. Everything around you seems still and yet you feel yourself gliding from the energy released from this potent chemical called Love. Your breathing becomes unfamiliar with the first touch creating a convulsion of fire radiating throughout one's body. Your senses heighten and for a moment your frighten because you are now exposed and vulnerable.
(S)he smiles, smiles in a way that reminds you of the first time you feel in love. That awkward teenage love, the kind of love when you're not sure how to express yourself, but smiling is the only action that can physically verbalize the words "I am here with you, that nothing and no one can take me from this moment.. because I love you." and so you let go and release the flames of your desire.
You embrace the next touch as your finger entwine with one another and as you close your eyes, you hope that you can draw this moment inside the linings of your heart, so that when you two apart you can close yourself away from the world and travel back to that moment. That moment you discovered where out of the 7 billion people living here on earth you found the ONE to love you for all that you were, for all that you are and for all that you will be.

Wow this is perfect... Beautifully written ❤️
The first time we locked eyes, time really did seem to freeze... all we could is smile. Long apart but.. after all these years I still travel back to that moment that seems forever ingrained Into my memory and in an instant, time stops again.
-thank you to whoever wrote this poem, it was very beautiful.
One of my fav 💙😌
Fell in love with this since the very first time I heard it in Twilight. ❤️
Cara como eu amo essa música, lembro em 2012 quando perdi pessoas muito importante na minha vida e essa música me trouxe uma paz muito grande dentro de mim. 10 anos depois estou ouvindo novamente e chorando de alegria por ter vencido na vida ❤️
this song reminds me of both Bella and Edward. It's so nostalgic
I sang at my cousin's wedding and I totally bombed so I was feeling terrible, then I was supposed to sing this for their first dance but the emcee must have forgotten or skipped and I didn't want to remind him so I didn't have to get up on stage again. But! My cousin insisted I sing it. So he led his beautiful bride onto the dance floor, had me sing and I did... In fact, I sang it well. I felt sort of redeemed. This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. I've loved it since my Twilight phase but now it has even better memories attached to it. ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful!❤
nice, slowed my breathing, smiled, played it twice.
If this song doesn't touch soul make u cry... u are not human
Yes... It goes too deep into my heart... I just love it... Do you know any more songs as such?
To me, this song is the encapsulation of the word PARADOX. The score is captivating and takes one to a place by the fortunate listener. A beautiful work of art. Given to us by gifted singer and instrumental genious. I swoon with everyone else when I hear it.
And then there are the lyrics. Birds with broken wings lying bloody. Things "pissing" on other things. Perhaps there is tremendous metaphor that I am missing.
Without sounding offensive, could I request a "sequel" version with passionate, sappy, hopelessly in love lyrics that can unashamedly be played before the grandparents at the wedding, or be dubbed "our song" without any looming pills? Forgive me if I am out of line...I'm only one American mouth.
I love this version. I start to tear up when I hear this.
A new generation from 2020 ✌
I swear if i ever get married someday, this will be our wedding song and we'll dance with this song in our first dance together💯
Shower in love, so many years later I still remember Bella dance with Edward
This song makes me remember Edward and Bella dancing slowly while gazing lovingly at each other. 😭 Mah twilight heart is crying!!
I just found the wedding song for when my daughters get married. :)
And the movie still sucked!
joseph arthur This is NOT a wedding song. The band says its a political statement
about how Americans were once innocent, now turned jaded, lazy and
materialistic. lol You should research songs before using them for a
wedding. This is the most inappropriate song for a wedding.
joseph arthur Agreed!
Well, hmmm it sure worked here, didn't it?
Music is popular and loved by the feelings it stirs. Interpretation is in the ear of the beholder.
joseph arthur how sweet
This song will be the wedding song in my future😍
10 years later. Still here, Still alone... but someday this song will play on my wedding 🤗🌙✨
This is will be my first dance song with my soon to be husband on our wedding November 2022 🥲. There’s something about this song that I love and I told myself I’ll dance this song one day with my partner and now I will 🥰🤍
Did you do it? 🥰
@@swiss300173 yes😊
So much better when you can watch the musicians! I just sat in silence not wanting to move! Beautiful!!
Future husband...,"I'm waiting for you...to have this dance with you the day we get married. Hurry up". ❤
Me encanta esta canción, me lleva a un lugar lejano donde puedo sentir el verdadero sentimiento del amor....
OMGOODNESS!❤
I've ALWAYS LOVED this song, but this is the most beautiful version I've ever heard. It's been one of my favorites since I first heard it on Twilight, but it's now my #1 FAVORITE song! I will suggest it for every wedding I'm a part of. Nothing more romantic! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song deserves more listening
As far as I'm concerned THIS is the only version of this song. Absolute perfection.
every listen every tears...
This song makes me fall in love over and over again. I'll be tying the knot with the love of my love this year, and we'll definitely dance our hearts out with this song. 2021 and never get tired listening to this masterpiece.
Awe that's so sweet, I hope you have a wonderful time dancing to this song.
Angelical bliss. Sublime voice. Heartstring pulling lyrics. I appreciate watching actual instruments being played and the beautiful singers.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
I love this music and the wedding movie scene, for the rest of my life! Forever!
2021 I'm here! 😊
This song gives me the effin FEELS! Brings me back to Bella and Edwards love story but also so beautiful
Que lindo! Amei essa música
