about

A soaring song about leaving home, Bird Be Brave hovers on the brink of taking flight.

A trip back to my family home stirred up feelings of leaving the familiar, and the natural parting of parent and child. The song tentatively seizes a sense of independence and freedom.

lyrics

These walls are too thin
Leave me shivering
I wait for a sign

My thoughts are too big
Pushing at the ceiling
Taste the outside

Weeks of self run time
Cycles drifting by
Trees losing their leaves

Safety net too soon
Remembering the womb
Dark as far as I can see

Winter it will pass
In the meantime warm my heart
You’re gentle because you’re brave
Bird in the nest, first flight to take

Stitches that she sewed
All those year ago
Tight at the seams

Threads holding so thin
Time unravelling
Her work is unseen

Winter it will pass
In the meantime warm my heart
You’re gentle because you’re brave
Bird in the nest, first flight to take

Time to let go…

Carry on now, the road is clear
Carry on now, there’s always fear
Carry on now, I know you’re close
On a path you can’t follow
There’s a part of you in me, always

Winter it will pass
In the meantime warm my heart
You’re gentle because you’re brave
Bird in the nest, first flight to take
