About 5 years ago, a girl introduced me to this song. I was young but I fell in love with her, all throughout these years I've hid my feelings. 9 months ago I told her not one day have I stopped thinking about her. We've been together ever since, and this is our song. I love you, na.
Yeh, it’s called music dude. lmao. Why comment on what the song doesn’t have? Auto tune. Lip sync. Backing musicians. This that and the rest of it. Drummer. Pianist. haha
This song will always be a legend for me. Quarantine brought me here, i'am stuck again in the past and will re-watch Twilight again, again, and will always be.
I’ve spent years trying to decipher this song and suddenly it all makes sense... This song is like a mesmerizing abstract painting. There’s a good chance not even the artist understands it, but somehow we can all feel it.
Guarantee Sam understands it. Dude is a master story telling lyricist disguising huge concepts and meaning behind his words. He can say so much with a simple line. This is what music is about.
Saying so much a little simple line. I think that explains this song perfectly. I got no fucking idea idea what the song talks about, yet I find hundreds of meaning or things that I relate to it in my life, thats the beauty of it.@@dirkdiggler7727
@@hospice8896 What is your interpretation? My guess was that it's about how he used to have puppy love for this woman like a dog going after a flightless bird whom he loves and recognizes is in pain but can't help himself but destroy because he's a dog. Later he feels more like a disinterested cat looking at rats he'd love to chase. The rats in this case are also potential lovers, but he can't bring himself to chase them because he's let himself go and also because he now knows they are poison and will only bring him misery.
I never thought at age of 34m, I would look back at 07-08 and miss those years so much. Even with how the housing crash looming in retrospect...as a 17yr old kid which it didn't affect. Those were great years! To all my fellow 90's kids , best of luck in life! I hope you guys can find your solace and happiness
This is a masterpiece, Why we spend our life looking for someone special and once we find her, we ask ourselves? Have I found you flightless bird? Only because a flightless bird is diferent it does not means they have to be jealous and weeping because they can’t find anyone to accept them for who they are, not common wich meands special, You do not have to look everywhere, but in places were nobody else has looked before, because right there your will find your flightless bird.
When i heard this song first time, about 12 years ago, i remember that i asked teacher what ‘dog-eared’ means. The expressions in the lyrics brought me pure heart of a little boy. I sympathized with the boy in the song. I nearly knew about English expressions as now, but the feeling I felt at that time remains quite clear at this moment. I guess It is kinda pure emotion like reminiscence that brings happy memory of little kid. Sometimes I hum the melody of this song and finally I find myself searching for the live version and falling in the emotions I used to feel. It’s rainy day in Korea and now I’m listening this song again. What a long-lasting happiness.
There’s something about this exact moment when he sings this song. I’ve heard the recorded version and prefer this video. He was so purely in the moment here, you can just feel something special radiating. His soul was singing here. I’ll never forget the first time I watched this video all those years ago, I don’t think I even took a breath.
I saw this live in the Sydney Opera House around two years ago. Before that day I had never even heard of Iron & Wine. Needless to say it is one of the highlights of my life. He's an amazing singer!
I haven’t listened to this song in over a decade and now my adult daughter reintroduced it to me. Sam Beam was way ahead of his time!! The music is timeless. ❤
Thumbs up from China. I tried to play this song several years ago. And I saw the guitar tab of this song again just now and all of a sudden the melody echoed again in my mind...so I am here watching and being hit deep down in heart again..
Honestly I know this has a lot of views but iron and wine is so good , legit one of the most talented musicians I know of. Never heard him sound bad… he has so many great songs. Definitely underrated, his music just has that magical factor to it, hard to explain
at first it sounded as a love song , but as i listened to it earnestly, the lyrics was just too abstract to comprehend for me. However , i am pretty sure that it has nothing to do with the so called “romance”. oh ! How soulful his voice was. At the moment, i am dying to speak to the composer and ask the song’s message.
I think it's about taking someone who loves you, for granted. Two people in a relationship of imbalance but after one of them goes and sews some wild oats, realizes they really love that one constant person (the flightless bird), that they took for granted all along.
It doesn't matter HOW you became aware of the song. The important thing is that you enjoy the song. Sure, I did become aware of it from seeing Twilight, but everyone hears about something somehow. Ugh, pretentious people who think they are so much better for hearing songs "before they became popular" or "included in whatever major film or show..."
one reason people get irritated by it is because a lot of people wouldn't like it if they had not have heard it from twilight (same for other songs from other movies or whatever) . I love all kinds of different music and don't really care as long as the artists and great songs are getting some love.
I'm a 30 year old male married with 3 children and my wife and I love the Twilight movies, who doesn't enjoy a beautiful love story? Something wrong with people who don't....🤷♂️
He looks so much like Jim Morrison in his last years here, seriously, its scary, besides that, great song, lovely memories to it and will always be special.
Jesus, it's even better live then the studio recording- the only thing that could make this better is if it had and infinite amount of verses and went on forever.
Edward: shall we? Bella: your serious? Edward: oh why not? Edward: see your dancing.... Bella: at prom.... Bella: Edward why did you save me? why didn’t you just let the venom spread I could be like you right now Edward: you don’t know what your saying you don’t want this? Bella: I want you... always Edward: I’m not gonna end your life for you Bella: I’m dying already every second I get closer older Edward: that’s the way it’s supposed to be Bella: Alice said that she saw me like you I heard her Edward: her visions change Bella: you know based on what people decide I’ve decided Edward: so that’s what you dream about becoming a monster Bella: I dream about being with you forever Edward: forever? Edward: and your ready right now? Bella: yes.... Edward: is it not enough just to have a long and happy life with me? Bella: yeah... for now Bella’s (V.O) No one will surrender tonight but I won’t give in I know what I want
this song is a beautiful love story between an emo teenager (the flightless bird) who found her identity with a pasty white but nonetheless sparkly vampire. she finally knew the meaning of her existence and through the vampires unconditional love and support (american mouth) she was able to find the strength to make it to her senior prom. They danced the night away and from then on with a few hurdles along the way, they finally lived happily ever after. what a great song
Well, its a really famous movie, they have 5 films of it. You realy need to watch the movie hahahaha. I have watch them more then 30 times and im always reading the books hihi...
The sweetest epitome of the perfect slow dance song for the 1960's. The lyrics are amazing and although they come off trivial they are quite deep and passionate. I wish there we're more songs like this.
I was a quick wet boy Diving too deep for coins All of your straight blind eyes Wide on my plastic toys Then when the cops closed the fair I cut my long baby hair Stole me a dog eared map And called for you everywhere Have I found you? Flightless bird, jealous, weeping Or lost you? American mouth Big bill looming Now I'm a fat house cat Cursing my sore blunt tongue Watching the warm poison rats Curl through the wide white fence cracks Pissing on magazine photos Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean Blood of Christ mountain stream Have I found you? Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding Or lost you? American mouth Big bill, stuck going down
i’ll always come back here, 2024 and appreciating this incredible artist

Lots of love from India ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss. You just gave this song such a deeper meaning for me.
I saw him preform this live last night, it brought me to tears. God, he is incredible.
better version than even the recorded version. much more raw, and powerful.

soo am I the only one who thinks his music should be on every radio station?!?
I totally agree
Agree
100%
nope it should be the one song they play after every 8th song

we need to go deeper
I thought the song was a political message, not about relationships
i’ve been watching this video over and over for 7+ years and have not once grown tired of it

This song makes me think and takes me to a different world
Absolutely a beautiful voice!

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard or seen.

I've never been to a concert where the band or singer says this is my new song and it actually end up being one of their best songs, lucky audience
Vary few songs move me, this one moves me every time I listen to it, many years later ❤️❤️❤️
I always come back to here...
When Alan from The Hangover performs a song with lyrics that doesn't make sense, but sounds so good.
Hey Phil.
😅🤣😂
I can't stop listening to this again n again n again 😭😭
i know. So heart warming♡
No one will ever know how much this song means to me
Many of his songs have no frills...but they work.
This live version just brings me to tears....
His voice is so beautiful, so calming
What am amazing performance... seriously.. holy love.. this is just so heart felt and full of passion and love for song.. bravooo!!!!! fan for life
His voice is truly magical. I love that the crowed is silent. They are so lost in this music and it’s amazing 🥰
Wow silent crowd, no phones just lost in the music
Well it was also 2007.
Thumbs up from China. I tried to play this song several years ago. And I saw the guitar tab of this song again just now and all of a sudden the melody echoed again in my mind...so I am here watching and being hit deep down in heart again..

This one touched my heart especially when I heard this on Bella and Edward's wedding. Makes me wanna cry. :D

Diving too deep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill looming
Now I'm a fat house cat
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide white fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
Or lost you?
