“Caught a Long Wind” by Feist

Lisa A. Snyder, Catherine Caperello & Leslie Feist

Side note- We got to meet her last year after her concert! Happened to be walking back to the car and there she was 🙂

So, I was listening to this song that I love called Caught a Long Wind. It’s on her latest album called Metals.

This song makes me feel like a bird… the lyrics and sound are floaty… and reminds me of being on the journey not having parents. The instruments used are so carefully picked and plucked.

My parents used to call me “baby bird”. I feel like this journey is many times about keeping ourselves afloat… spreading our wings and flying through our own sky. Perhaps a reminder of our parents transitioning to some other energy… Listening to it on repeat today, it was giving me goose bumps… I felt that was information that I should share this song with you.

Little bird have you got a key?
Unlock the lock inside of me
Where will you go?
Keep yourself afloat

I hear this song and it really just speaks to me. I’m posting the lyrics and a video I found on YouTube of the original song with an animation someone (else) made for it. What songs speak to you?

Another side note: I recently visited family I haven’t seen in a while. I’m looking forward to telling you more about this experience.

“Caught a Long Wind” by Feist

Little bird have you got a key?
Unlock the lock inside of me
Where will you go?
Keep yourself afloat
Feeling old until the wings unfolded
Caught me a long wind
Where will we go?
Keep ourselves afloat

I caught a long wind
A long life wind
I got to know the sky
But it didn’t know me
Got to see the light
And land on top of the sea
And be the bird, be the key
And now the current tells
What the wave withheld
And then the lightning say
Oh where light will lay
Where will you go?
Keep yourself afloat

I caught a long wind
A long life wind
Like a swallow
A night owl
A little chickadee
Sad sparrow
Good morning bird
Good nightingale
I took a deep breath
And caught a long wind
