A Bird's Song - Ingrid Michaelson

this song is so powerful and awesome, for the life of me i couldn't figure out what kind of theme or vid to do with this!
but i wanted to put this up
if anyone has an idea for what to do with this song please let me know ^-^
i dont think this song is on youtube..
or i could be really stupid and not looked hard enough hehe.

When I would play my song
You used to sing along
I always seem to forget
How fragile are the very strong

I'm sorry I can't steal you
I'm sorry I can't stay
So I'll put band aids on your knees
And watch you fly away

I'm sending you away tonight
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
I'm saving you the best way I know how
I hope again one day to hear you sing

You know I'm not so far away
Get on a boat,
Get on a train
And if you ever think you're drowning
I'll try to slow the rain

In two years or so
drop me a line
write me a letter

I hope to find you're doing better
better than today
better everyday

I'm sending you away tonight
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
I'm saving you the best way I know how
I hope again one day to hear you sing
I'm saving you the only way I know how
I hope again one day to hear you sing
I hope again one day to bring your smile back around
again

You ask for tips on a video you could do. This reminds me of a mother in an abusive situation sending her kid away or putting him or her up for adoption to get them away from the abuser....just an idea...

@flapdoodle21 hmm i've never thought of it like that before..

"Get on a boat,

Get on a plane"

It's Get on a boat, Get on a train.

@lekristajojo yeah, i've noticed lol. i didn't type the lyrics, i copy pasted from a website and just haven't felt like fixing them ahah

but thanks :p:)

we used this song at our 3 year old daughter's memorial service. she had special needs and was terminally ill. she was very strong but very fragile. i wanted to keep her alive forever, I wanted to fix her and make her whole. but i had to do what was best for her and that as to "send her to heaven" by not hooking her up to machines and giving her all kinds of meds with bad side effects to prolong her life and suffering. i felt this song portrayed my feelings for <3

I replayed this song so much the snow piled up to the top.

[I hope to find you're doing better

better than today

better everyday] Keep moving on even though I'm gone

[I hope again one day to bring your smile back around

again] I love you and I miss you.

@flapdoodle21 - Wanted to add another use of the song: to an adult child struggling with issues (addiction/mental health) and the mother recognizing she must show tough love. The song almost always brings me to tears...

[AngelofNightshade]

Also what's the download for the song? ^^;

[AngelofNightshade]

A fitting story for this song....A pair of two siblings and the only things they have are eachother, and the elder sibling has to let go of the younger, and send them away for their own good, and feels pain everytime they see something that reminds them of their sibling. </3 I miss you, Jackson.

[leonx34]

I'm sorry I can't steal you... words that send chills down my spine :(

[smilelanie97]

I wish Ingrid would come out with a new album </3

@SouhaaMusic yes... it can absolutely be related to that... and not many people would understan how that's possible... this song makes me feel like its's ok to be in a situation like this (getting married even if i already know that the love of my life is somebody else) and that i'm not stupid... sometimes you just have to let go even if it kills you... I know it makes no sense at all that I'm telling you this, I just am very thankfull to read that somebody would be at least a bit sympathetical
