"No matter how much all of you want a happy ending, you can't have it! I tried to write one, but it's impossible. I rewrote and rewrote, but things kept changing. And I hurt people and I....I knew they were hurt, but I didn't stop. Because your mind tricks you. It TRICKS you into thinking that things are fine, they're not fine. Nothing is fine. It's all WRONG! ..I'm all wrong... That's it... There's no happy ending." - Eli Goldsworthy

@shakeitgills55 Haha. I love Eli so much. Dark and cynical but also connects so well with the literary world. :) He is so good at voicing his emotions
I have just come home from their concert.(Valleyfield) Stunning in the true sense of the word.They brought the house down!!!! Intoxicating ;Wild and in all that so sensitive,Loved every minute .The lights the stars. Liberating . Thankyou.
I think the lyrics are incorrect, i think it isn't 'To the sound of the bird that wants', buttt: 'To the sound of the bird that mourns.' That's a bit more logical too, i guess...
I really really like this guy. I first heard him with the Cinematic Orchestra when it played on So You Think You Can Dance Canada... which I saw live yesterday!!! =]

....genious piece of music but the songtext ist sadly wrong in one point. it has to mean "To the bird that MOURNS" not wants..
Schattenjaegerin 3 months ago
The proper lyrics are, "to the sound of the bird that mourns", not "the bird that wants" . That doesn't make sense and is not a complete sentence.
just saying, great song :)

@acd982 the lyrics are definitely "mourns," not wants. Both are nice but to mourn is more powerful.

You got the lyrics wrong. It goes "To the sound of the bird that mourns" :) Lovely song. One of my favourites.
