about
Sometimes, when we make big internal changes, it takes a while for our enviroment and the people in it to adapt. This song is about this struggle and the minefield of colliding souls.
lyrics
Bird Cage
My Freedom,
It’s why you love me.
It’s why you hate me too.
Why do you lace this,
Corset so tight?
I cannot breathe,
Feel your dis-ease.
My eyes,
To the horizon,
Gentle, breath of wings.
But your fear,
Chases behind me,
Steels my voice so I can’t sing.
Why do you want to cage this?
Why do you want to cage this?
Why do you want to cage this bliss?
The cliff is so high but I jump,
I swoop and I dive I am truly alive.
Air under my wings and I lift.
Not shoved in your tight little box,
I don’t fit.
Stuffing me in,
Stuffing me in.
Through the bars of this cage,
Only loose and no win.
Why do you want to cage this?
Why do you want to cage this?
Why do you want to cage this?
(ohhs...)
Don’t you wanna, free me?
Don’t you wanna, free me?
Don’t you wanna, free me?
Don’t you wanna, free me free me?
Free me free me.....
Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
This is a totally mesmerizing album. It;s really special, and feels like a beautiful melancholic painting (if that makes any sense). Amongst singer-songwriters, very few have such a distinctive style of there own. richardschouten
Nicely done. Beautiful Was it a Dream song. A sad ambiance all along the way, to choose only when you want it. Do not let Emily take you to the Dead City if you are into something else...

Tom Houston swings between heartfelt folk and quirky slice-of-life spoken word, augmented with electronics, on his latest LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2022
