| Lisa Hannigan – Little Bird Lyrics | 3 years ago |

I know this beautiful song is about a personal 'breakup' Lisa went thru - that touches so many people who can identify with these sentiments & the images she paints lyrically. I discovered this song on the end-credits of the movie 'Maudie'. I searched for the song to read the lyrics, and read them several times. It's interesting how one interprets lyrics - (& note my interpretation is not bc of the movie) but wherever your at in life, the events you've endured, are living now, or anticipating will influence your reception of everything . . . As an older person - (but single,/alone) I read these lyrics as if my husband passed away . . . Each line seems to point to how I would feel, discussions we had about who would go first -' I meant what I said' referring to what we would or wouldn't do after the other one passed - the line about 'arent you every bird on a wire' would be how I would see him in every living thing I encountered . . . The queu out the church door of course his funeral. And all the other words of this song point to that for me, as a love song, with longing, missing, a little bitterness, sweetness, resignation, memories . . . |
