A bit ago, I wanted me friends to see the brilliance that is bright eyes so I made em listen to this song. They actually laughed and said Bright Eyes suck. I was absolutley appalled and said, "Just bcuz he's not that mainstream Bieber punk that u like and his songs r to powerful 4 u 2 understand doesn't mean he sucks." Haha they shut up really fast. A good voice doesn't mean good music.
you know what would have also been a good idea? some one sitting in a bar, drinkin' whiskey, and then conor sitting next to him sing it.... then what have you, other video effects.
the song is actually about attempting again and again to obtain a thing that you know you cant. and here it is about love. the yellow bird at the end is from another song (cant name it now) of the same album, where the yellow bird is a girl that might cure the narrator, but she is gone now. and we are nowhere and its now is just the feeling of being lost and insecure and waivering about your life path
@DreaminMyLifeAway I think the yellow bird references in this album are meant to symbolize movement. In Poison Oak, which I've read is about his cousin's suicide, he sings:
"And I'm glad you got away, but I'm still stuck out hear
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears
And I never thought this life was possible
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for."
^This movement is death.
However, I think this song's yellow bird is a taxi he got drunk and forgot he'd ordered.
@MrPeteyBakaBorfus I thought it may be a reference to the canary - miners would take canaries down the mines with them, when the oxygen was gone the canary would die, it was a sign for the miners to get their ass out. could be a metaphor of somesort.
ha i first heard that on the history channel. maybe necesary but pretty messed up. i wonder how they first found that out like who was the first guy to walk into a mine holding a bunch of birds, watching which one drops first? pretty random
I like LOADS of different music an this is one of my favourite songs so, to me what makes this song beautifull is the pain of another well actualised person caught in the lessons what was once once true,after innocence is lost,you just struggle
If this video is made by you. I dont think its that great, but i do like it! And infact its the only video made by a fan that i can actually appriciate for once.
This song is excellent, i feel the passion in it, lyrics are fanominal. i'd agree with the video, i think its about redemption and realizing our wrongs.
great song...very sad and inspiring at the same time. i really liked the melody.
