    That was gorgeous.
    Oh, the falcon was a pretty bird
    Wandered as she flew
    She danced around and pranced around
    Wherever the warm winds blew
    And the falcon was a pretty bird
    Her voice was always still
    But men with drums and men with guns
    They taught her how to kill
    Her eye was on the sparrow
    Her mind was on the dove
    But no one cared and no one dared
    To speak to her of love
    Her eyes are always hooded
    Her claws are sharp as steel
    We teach her not to see too much
    We teach her not to feel
    Go build you a log cabin
    On a mountain so high
    And hear the feathered war-bird's yell
    As she goes screaming by
    She'll tease you
    She'll please you
    She'll satisfy your needs
    But someday she might turn around
    And maul the hand that feeds
    Your hours might be numbered
    Your end might come someday
    Go break her chain and free her brain
    And send her on her way
    And the falcon is a pretty bird
    Wonders as she flies
    She asks us easy questions
    We tell her easy lies

    Cosmo should seriously bring in his brother Merlin in for his music, you both have beautiful voices and I seriously think Merlin is underrated.

    • @OakleyANDSittingBull
      @OakleyANDSittingBull 5 лет назад +15

      @*JessDoritoWhale*,
      Hear! HEAR!!! :)
      Absolutely!
      From a professional music and film perspective, Merlin also adds an advanced dimension of attractively stylish physical aesthetic with his apparent confident yet humble demeanour, personal fashion sense via his colour and design selections and combinations, and cute yet handsome dimples (please also screen their incomplete, experimental short film 'Merlin Drop'). All mentioned are *completely unnecessary additions* as Cosmo is very cute, commands enthralling attention and is *terrifically, impressively brilliant, all 'round,* however, Merlin's physical aesthetic and relaxed confidence *would be* an appreciated addition for the more sensual (or superficial) audience members when performing live or via video or film. :)
      Also, touring can become gruelling and is at times lonely. Invaluably, they seem to be very fond, loving and trusting of each other. It seems Merlin is very busy with his academic and literary work and therefore perhaps he hasn't much interest in pursuing a professional music career on a grander scale (which, if so, is *completely understandable ;)* ).
      ...Please know this lengthy point was derived and delivered ONLY from a business perspective, in the case Cosmo may be interested in any and all ideas relating to *his skillfully and creatively earned, impending, vast commercial success.* xox

  • @baileytodtenbier1367
    @baileytodtenbier1367 7 лет назад +122

    Everybody is talking about how much they love this song, but I haven't heard anyone discussing the meaning. I've read through the lyrics and I see it as the falcon being a woman in today's society. She's pretty and she does what she's told, but she wants more and she has her own thoughts. They're saying that, while she might be doing as society wants right now, there's going to come a day when she won't want to and she'll "maul the hand that feeds". He's saying that we should "break her chains and free her brain" instead of keeping her in that state of giving her easy lies to her easy questions. Let her be free and have her own thoughts.

    • @ethanpeacock4345
      @ethanpeacock4345 5 месяцев назад

      I’ve heard (which is supported by the time frame and the fact the Fariñas were outspokenly against the War) that the song is also a form of allegory about the fate of the young men who were conscripted to fight in the Vietnam War. The boys were often only a few years out of school, and were forced from their home and trained to all of a few months, then shipped far, far away into a useless, futile conflict. IF they survived, they were met with nothing but hostility, and had very few support getting back into civilian life. Many of them were disabled and heavily traumatized

    • @ethanpeacock4345
      @ethanpeacock4345 5 месяцев назад
