Define 'three'--the cardinal number that is the sum of one and one and one. This is the three member band, Flychild, filling sonic space effectively. Every show is different due to inspired tangeants, often spontaneous and directed by any one of the three at any given moment when inspiration sets. Flychild is rock/funk/jazz influenced, focus on melody, phrasing, and made rhythmically interesting by balanced collaboration among it's members.

Story behind the song

Some relationships can be very intense, making them that much more rewarding, but occasionally delicate, like walking on a canyon edge where you shouldn't look down.  This is, in part, about that fine line.

Lyrics

You've got me wrapped around your finger
Some days you move me
    make me feel like you're a little eager
From the things that you buy
To the glimmer in your eye

Sun Salutations in your dayroom
Downward dog, breathing in, gives you a little leg room
As you sit back, relax,
   as you know the end is coming soon

There's a chance we could die
There are things that can keep us alive
There's a chance we'll survive
This death defiant ride

You plant your signals like a flower
Touch my chest, show your need, give me a little power
But the seed, like your need, lacks the beauty in the end

I'm getting sick of this rotation
Butterflies in my eyes, I'm blinded with frustration
Though I've learned, I return
    for another death defiant ride

There's a chance we could die
There are things that can keep us alive
There's chance we'll survive
This Death Defiant Ride
