More Yellow Birds Lyrics

Cover art for More Yellow Birds lyrics by Sparklehorse

I know this is what a lot of people say abou Sparklehorse songs, but the most amazing thing about this song is the feeilng it gives you when you listen to it. It's slow, sad, mournful but beautiful--and although lines rhyme here and there, it's really a lot of observations and declarations.

My favorite line is "please send more more yellow birds for the dim interior" and although I haven't found anywhere saying this is what it's about, my friend told me about how in asylums they wouldn't let people have pets because it wasn't safe (for the people, or the pets!) but they would let them have canarys. So it's kind of like a call for something, anything that might make you feel better even though everything around you is bad.

I dunno what it is about this song, but it's amazing and it's my favorite Sparklehorse song, they really are an amazing band.
