Bluebird is a song about hope, about the beautifully flawed, fundamentally human way we reach toward something better - forward and backward all at once, chaotic, painful, profound. I wrote it after a summer of unrest, isolation, and thick wildfire smoke. My city, the country, the world - it all felt alarmingly silent and utterly deafening. History so close you could taste it. The future an unknown expanse lit up in eternal change. - Anna
summer’s almost over, we made it to september
living off of tv, the twisted lives of others
trying to find the brightness, in a world of dying embers
walking late at night with all the junkies and dead flowers
the wind it bends the tall grass, a ghost, a breath, a feather
we’re terrified to ask and anyway there is no answer
in shadow or in pale light, the promise of another
day beyond the daylight, we’ll wait for it together
bluebird, we flew right off the edge
to a new world, but we haven’t found it yet
struggling to say it, the truth goes down like poison
thousands in the street, the asphalt echoing their voices
change is like a raging fire in the forest
taking something old and turning anger into gold dust
bluebird, we flew right off the edge
to a new world, but we haven’t landed yet
up above the buildings, the color of the city
glowing like a halo in the haze, the sun is sinking
don’t it look like heaven, the great beyond or something
at least we can imagine, it’ll bring a kind of comfort
bluebird, we flew right off the edge
to a new world, but we haven’t built it yet
