Snowy White - Bird of Paradise 1984

[pagantempereta]

My bird of paradise, sweet bird of paradise. I know I disappointed you but I wish you were here. I miss you, my sweet bird of paradise. I hope you see my heart is good. Come back, my bird of paradise.

[pagantempereta]

You flew away. I miss you. Come back, my bird of paradise. Not leave me alone. You are a woman I'm living for. I am lost without you.

[pagantempereta]

I see some sparkles that are coming from your wings, my bird of paradise. They are lighting in the darkness around me. I am rescued by your love that is shinning like a evening star. Thank you, my goddess of love.

[pagantempereta]

Do not be offended, my bird of paradise. Perch on my strong arm. Come to me, I won't take your freedom away. Trust me, please. I let you fly away if you wish. I am here to protect you and see how you are beautiful. Remember, my heart will be with you wherever you are.

[pagantempereta]

Not so fast, my heart. Too much freedom is slavery. And slavery isn't good. Even slavery of love.

[pagantempereta]

I'm in darkness without you, my bird of paradise. But I must let you flay away. It's your right to live. My heart is flying away with you. Please do not hurt it.

[pagantempereta]

Two different people must accept one another and live together... Well, it's love... I don't take away freedom from my bird of paradise. I let her fly away if she needs.

[stahhh3]

only one love!

[pagantempereta]

For English speakers -- Polish BLONDI is the same as English BLONDIE. And I lost such a blondie. Forever. I called her 'my blondi'. But now I don't miss her. I won't be losing my life anymore. There are other women in the world.

[pagantempereta]

There's hope... I've seen a bird of paradise in Australia.

[pagantempereta]

Empty space about me... She's gone!

[pagantempereta]

I'll catch you, my bird of paradise. I love you too much to give up.

[pagantempereta]

My Blondi, where are you?

[pagantempereta]

I am still looking for my bird of paradise. Blondi. Did somebody see her?

[pagantempereta]

I am looking for my bird of paradise. She flew away.... Come back, me sweet.

[MrsAxelia]

this is music! beautiful, amaizing

[GoforEmpire]

Planet Earth!

[AlexLampeMusic]

Guy #1: Hey, let's have a beautiful girl rise from under the stage during the solo.

Others: Neeh.

Guy #2: Wait, why don't we make it a creepy middle-aged scuba diver holding a picture of a girl?

Others: Yes, wow, that's brilliant.

Guy #3: There's still something missing.

Guy #4: Styrofoam! We should throw styrofoam at him, but only for about five seconds.

Lead guy: Gentlemen, I believe it is time for our brainstorm victory dance.

[mrsdaipunk]

omg what a blast from my music past fab !!!

[huilnik]

brilliant

[simplyared1]

Just heard this song on the radio for the first time....it's got shades of Dire Straits...Brothers in Arms.....toons good tho

[machinianfpro]

@simplyared1 ".it's got shades of Dire Straits...Brothers in Arms.....toons good tho"

Bird of Paradise was released first in 83 and Brothers in arms 85 greetz & both songs are good IMO

[ZitkalaNoni]

LOL (at 1:56) !

thought this would be a serious video clip for a romantic song, until in the middle of it suddenly a man in a diving suit appears out of nowhere/ , funny, hahaha -;)

[mihas101]

who copies who??? is this brothers in arms or what???

[ZitkalaNoni]

very relaxing &beautiful song

[gigiatbsashtrance]

very romantic...

[w1nm47t3r]

what is with the guy in the dive mask bursting through the floor? also the way this song was featured in planet earth was hilarious!

[MrEurominx]

Love it - was having my temples massaged during this song - SUPERB

[DXMorpheus]

Is it just me, or does the tune sound like Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms"?

Also looked this up after watching Planet Earth, he was right though, being alone for a long enough time, annoying songs do get stuck in your head, I wouldn't say this one was annoying, unless you listened to it too much.

[rockozaurus]

My favorite song all the time!

[jackal2071]

Slipknot play a blinding version of this song!

[shahibullah1967]

This song is So perfect,,,I bought a cassette compilation at a bus station when I was like 18 yrs old...I love this song and play it again and again and again until the tape broke...I kept the tape and try gluing the tape, so i listen sometimes,,,but now. thank u for whomever post this....

[zzyyxx50]

Perfect in every respect

[jagodasygit1]

świetna piosenka,szkoda tylko , że po katastrofie polskiego samolotu pod Smoleńskiem, będzie mi się kojarzyła z tymi smutnymi dniami...Radio RMF FM tak często ją wtedy emitowało ....

[FedorCHESS3000]

Youtube Documentary - They Sold Their Souls For Rock And Roll

[jabbyjabjo]

[genericvideo1]

Found this through the Planet Earth Series Diaries when they talk about the photographer sitting in the forest for 100 hours trying to capture rare footage of birds of paradise and this song being stuck in his head.

[theMegDawg]

@genericvideo1 hahaha so did i!

[MegaKingEagle]

@genericvideo1 ME TO! Lol, I cant believe he can sit that LONG

[SquishyKitty]

[TessLarson]

@genericvideo1 That's exactly why I looked this up on YouTube, too! I thought it was really funny in the Planet Earth Diaries the way this song played everytime they showed the guy sitting in that hide.

@genericvideo1 me too dude! Love that series, and this song! :)

[dixonite]

A great, great song, to be certain....one of the oddest videos I have ever seen though....I don't get the connection of the topic matter to the guy in the wet suit!

[r3tr0r0ck3r]

After being so used to seeing him playing with Thin Lizzy, watching this is very strange! Just seeing him sing is... odd...

[mantishandz]

The frog sitting on top of the earth was tops.

[Maxellera]

The similarities between this song and Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms" are vast!

[65ramjam]

This came out 2 years before Brothers in arms, though.

[robyonder]

i'm sorry who ever came up wth the idea of throwing a scuba diver in there should be carstrated , i just had to smile , like wt f . That fucked the track right up the arse . Fuck that .

the briliant powdery blues and the fine arangement , is one of the sweetest songs you might come across .

so fucgin nice .

[gmshowtruck]

yeah great video there! thnx for uploading this 1, never saw this videoclip version... thnx again :-)

[myerbuttreeks]

i remember buying this song 20 odd years ago ,i played it everyday for about 6 months ,,i still get the same kick today ,this song rates as one of my all time classic song ,a beautiful song with beautiful guitar fills ,a perfect song......

[fIRsTRATmAN]

the guy coming out of the huge drum wearing the diving gear freaked me out.

great song

[SeastarMaster]

Wait, i've never watched the videowhy is there a guy in a wet suit and a mask? i'm confused

[ZaRoeler]

It's psychedelic rock, weird stuff's supposed to happen in it... I think

[xXNeMeSiS94Xx]

[guitanorak]

Its a pity the end of the song is not on it, just when Snowy is getting ready to 'fly' ... Ah well great 2 hear again anyway ... guitanorak
