Story behind the song
I recorded this track for a challenge on BandBase.dk some years ago. The rules were to include something about fear and birds. I did some spoken word in danish on this track and later also did a new, shortened version, with english lyrics.
Lyrics
Hitchcock told us to be afraid of birds, but the only bird that I ever feared, is the fright bird..
The fright bird is flapping around in it’s cage. Restless and hoping to darken my day. The pleasures of life is my only defense.
The fright bird, is a big, black bird circling over your head, casting shadows on your path, making it hard to find your way as you stumble through your everyday life.
To overcome your fright, you must make peace with your inner demons, face your fears and realize that you cannot change them, but you can learn to live with them.
You will then see, how small and unimportant the fright bird really is, compared to the huge amount of good things in your life.
The fright bird is flapping around in it’s cage. Restless and hoping to darken my day. The pleasures of life is my only defense.
Once you learned to see this, the fright bird will disappear. Slowly and majestically it will fly into the sunset, leaving behind a visible, but truly healed scar in your soul.
