Song Post 21 Another original song I wrote & recorded in 2012 on my Boss BR-900. I play all the instruments- guitars, bass, keyboards and sing all the vocals. Song BackgroundThis song is based on a Murder of crows - Which is a more poetic term for a flock of crows traced back at least to the 15th century. Another theory hearkens back to old folklore, which told of groups of crows essentially holding court over members of their flock that had committed offenses. If they decide against the "defendant" crow, then the rest of the flock swoops down on it and kills it. There are legends outside of the Germanic culture that relate to crows being judges over people as well, and how their appearance is an omen of death. The woman character in my song has been living a lonely, sad life, yet pretending otherwise. But instead of changing the situation by leaving, she enlists the help of a Murder of Crows. The crows will hold court to determine her fate. The male character in the story is offering her a way out of her misery, but the girl is in too deep to hear him much less believe him. Thanks for listening and please leave a comment...Peace, Trent Birds Whats up with all the little birds in your yard? She said, It looks like a murder of crows. Well therere forming a circle, hey whats in all mean? She says, Ill tell you what nobody knows that Im dying in Pittsburg and feelin alone and pretending Im right where I belong I tried to ignore it but my hearts in a knot, cause everything about this is wrong. But they tell you youre pretty, but it dont mean a lot If you dont feel pretty, them youll settle for less. You know the only way in, is the only way out You know the only way in, is the only way out What's up with blue skies thats turned purple and grey? She says, I smile but they wont go away like the bruises I wear tucked under my skin cause a smile doesnt mean Im ok. Still I cant understand why you just wont walk back? She said, I wish I could turn back the clock. Well if right is the reason, accept that youre wrong cause a closed door doesnt mean locked. She said, If I could grow wings, Id fly out of here to escape from this house for a place I called home. You know the only way in, is the only way out You know the only way in, is the only way out Tick, tick theres a tap at the top of the window Tick, tick theres a tap at the top of the window Tick, tick theres a crack at the top of the window She said, I need to go out in the yard. She said, I need to go out in the yard. She said, I need to go out in the yard. (Sound of breaking glass) (Guitar break) They all said you were pretty but I told you- youre beautiful. But you never felt beautiful so you settled for less. 2011 Paintmonster Music
