Are you guys really that clueless? Acid trip? How happy he once was? Can we look beyond the surface folks? I had to register an account just to correct all the fallacies in these comments.
Clearly this song is about the jam band scene. The first verse takes place before the narrator goes to a jamband concert. But at the end of the verse, he goes out and sets the ol imagination a flight, presumably he goes to a concert.
In the chorus he explains what he felt at the show, and what show did he go to? 2nd verse: "I sat up in the branches and felt just like a bird" This is an obvious refrence to the Grateful Dead. Bird Song, So Many Roads etc are just a few of the many songs that reference birds in their lyric. He goes on to explain the feeling of being at the concert in the next chorus.
What does the narrator do next? He goes to a Phish show, 3rd Verse: "Swam in the sea that night
Dove through the waves and I felt like a fish" I don't have to go into detail on this simile.
In the end, after going to these shows, the narrator has experienced the best feeling in the world, the feeling to be free, which is precisely what the jam band scene offers.
I posted this in the Keller lyrics page
