Day 9 Music

Written and composed by The Big Wu, Bird on the Wi g is a song that not only reaches I to the depths of my soul, but was also played on Stella's memorial video at her funeral.

I made a video to accompany this song because this band was a small ne and doesn't have much out for videos on YouTube. 

It took me a bit to get this done due to work and technical issues windows media player loves to hand me. But the result is there. What I'd like to portray of it anyways. 

Lyrics:

October afternoon, alone, in pain, and scared
Walking on the fringe of a disease
She’s been holding on, for so very long
Resigning to the tune written in the wind


Before her song she drew a silent breath

Turning inward, almost deafening
The sound escapes a definition, I confess
Coming to a breathless reckoning


Like a chime in the wind she sings me a song
Keep the faith and you’ll never walk alone

Beckoning, she’s singing her song
Lord, I hope she don’t take too long


Lifetimes slip away sure as time goes by
Circumstance slips beyond my control
I took it to heart, there was nothing else I could say
She took it upon herself to sing:



　

Like a bird in the wind, volatile and strong
The winds of change won’t steer you wrong
Adrift and free, singing her song
Lord I hope she don’t take too long

By a twist of fate, and a show of hands


For the grace of age and life’s lost plans
There’s nothing lost, if there’s nothing chanced

This bird in flight is free at last
I’m on my way to a different shade
Somewhere between pale love and blue

Written in a song, it’s her torch that I hold
Like all birds that sing, she up & flew-


She’s a bird on the wing, volatile and free
Singing with the changes in the wind
October breeze, carries her song
Lord, I hope she don’t take too long


It’s a lesson to me I should have known all along
Spread your love and you’ll never walk alone
Written in the wind, this night carries her song
Lord, I hope she don’t take too long
