  • Great Song, Beautiful Voice. Thanks for sharing. 

  • haha i thought this would be the scary car commercial!!!

  • it sounds like a mum taking her daughter off to college? she could've written about when her mum/dad drove her to college. that's what it sounds like to me :)

  • @Kosna88 my thoughts exactly!

  • This song is definitely not about giving up a child for adoption. This is a song about a mom letting her child go because he or she grew up. It says "i'm rifling through these last seventeen years." Overall this song is very beautilful!

  • is it just me or can anybody else hear children playing in the background?...O.o.. any way nice vid :)

  • @GreenbeeN8 Yeah, that's part of the song.

  • this song is so sad but amazing and great video thepictures are so cool

  • honestly, she needs to make a MOVIE with these songs!!!!!!!!!

  • LOVE this song it;s so calm

  • I don't understand how anyone would suggest this song was about anyone BUT a child. "How you've grown my little bird" "6 pounds and 7 ounces, ball of bones and flesh and tears were you." DEFINITELY that's talking about a baby.

    beautiful song :)

  • @Mandamaywhoviay I feel the same.

  • The part about "a ball of bones and flesh and tears"... it just makes me tear up. It really gets to me, pains me to hear. And that part at the end, it sounds like children at a carousel, but it's so faded you almost feel like they're disappearing, or dead... Really quite chilling.

  • This song sort of makes me cry. It does indeed sound like a child she is talking about, mentioning how her little bird has grown, how big its hands have gotten... that's not necessarily the kind of language you use to describe a lover, but I can't tell you what was in her head.

    Regardless, this song is so beautiful and sad and lovely. It reminds me of how parents must feel, pouring their lives into their children only to have to let them fly. This tiny pink creature that you created is... gone.

  • sounds like she is talking about herself. Or maybe a mom taking her child to college?

  • @JessePowersMusic I always imagined a couple who had just lost a child. I pictured their tense and mournful car ride home.

  • she's talking about her boyfriend who got in a speeding accident at the age of 17 still love the song tho

  • I imagine this song's about a mother taking her child off to a place where he or she will be gone for some time (for instance, college. I assume college, for she says she has been rifling through the last "17 years," close to the age many U.S. students head to college.

    When I first heard this song, I cried. I envisioned my mother with red, puffy eyes, staring unto the road as she drives us. Neither of us look at each other, for fear that at a glance we'll become a sea of tears.

  • maybe its just one of those songs that you write when you're thinking of someone else's point of view... maybe her mom's? It definitely sounds like a mother to child thing.

  • nice video. d'you think this song is autobiographical? It sounds like she's talking about a baby that she let up for adoption...

  • @MissVixx

    I'm not sure, but that's exactly what it sounds like she's talking about to me, too. I think that's why it makes the song so sad & beautiful.

  • @MissVixx

    no, i think she's talking about letting her kid fly, as in, well, he's

    an adult now, and she, being a mother, never wanted to let him fly.

    see how she states she's "looking back at 17 years" as in, memories of him growing up, and that his hands have grown larger than her hands ever grew, as in, he's big now, he's old. he's grown up.

  • @MissVixx actually it sounds like she is talking about her son while driving him to his new college. they're sitting in the car together and she's thinking about when he was little and having bittersweet feelings about seeing him go.

  • @MissVixx when i heard this song i pictured what a parent would say who was perhaps driving their daughter off to college...thats how i interpret " i'm regretting letting you fly" it's more that ouch that parents feel when they see their littleones become grown and in a sense fly the nest
