Vincent's Girl - Kiersten Moser
Kiersten Moser, voice
Dave Broome, piano
Matt Magerkurth, cello
Written back in 2020 based on Vincent van Gogh's quote: "A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers-by only see a wisp of smoke." This is just a raw recording from my iPhone, and I just felt like sharing it!
Lyrics:
When I see you so free,
I think, "What's holding me back?"
But when I try to fly,
only to be held back,
I watch with jealousy
while you are carried
by the wind
to heights I may never know,
while I lay tethered,
down below,
so I'll sing and hope,
sing and hope
you'll set me free
Other voices within urge me
to fly again:
"With every attempt,
the string is weakened."
So small in a big world below...
But I'll set me free;
sing and know,
sing and know,
that I'll set me free
I beat at the wind
I gave up my time
A songbird is pulling
a world on her line
A fire within,
A fire within,
all they can see
are wisps in the wind
When I see you so free,
I think, "What's holding me?"
I think, "What's holding me?"
I think
