| Andrew Bird – Fatal Shore Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
In "Sifters" Andrew Bird says "sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean." When a wave breaks on a shore it is, in essence, fatal to the wave. The shore is fatal to a wave. When a sound wave reaches an ear one could say that it "dies" like a wave would die when it hits a shore. Perhaps the recurring motif of the words "fatal shore" in Andrew Bird's music describe the meeting of music and the listener. In Souverian Bird says: "So here it comes, the chorus You will never fear anymore If you join our chorus We will meet on a fatal shore." The meeting of people and music, ie listeners and music players, dispels fear. They meet on the shores of the sender and the receiver. "Are you a breather Mail receiver?" |
