lyrics

i feel a little like this bird, sometimes
it's furtive in the leaves, it rarely climbs
it maybe fixes me with one red eye
i feel a little like this bird, sometimes

i feel a little like a window ledge
with someone poised to jump right off my edge
oh, what a time to be so dumb and dead!
i feel a little like a window ledge

i feel a little like the deep blue sea
with traffic crossing o'er and under me
it's hard to be alone or fancy free
i feel a little like
i feel a little like this bird
i feel a little like this bird, sometimes

from songs without a home, released June 14, 2011
rachel--piano, singing. i always heard a kind of "k-shook k-shoo...k-shook k-shoo..." behind this song, which is a very old song. i sang the rhythm i heard to jeff and he cleverly made the rhythm track you hear. he made a loop of the sound of a cuckoo clock--the bird retreating, i think. i think that's just so perfect, esp. given the lyrics. :)

Rachel Taylor Brown image

Rachel Taylor Brown Portland, Oregon

Rachel was born in Portland and lives nearby with her beloved husband Jay. She makes disturbing yet ultimately sensible songs you can sometimes dance to.

She sees loads of ugly and beauty in the world. Trying to capture that sweet and sour thing in a song is what she’s mostly trying to do.

She records with audio midwife and dear friend Jeff Stuart Saltzman and his cats.

Thanks for stopping by! ... more
