If ever a singer hypnotized me by her voice then it was the first moment I witnessed this lady live at the Hotel Cafe in 2006. I could have collapsed the moment her voice touched my ears.
Nice to know there are still intelligent and sophisticated musicians producing work of a high standard these days....I love the unpredictability in all of these songs....takes me back to Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro days when performers treated their audience to material of subtlety and nuance..many thanks and good luck in the future....cheers Kenny.
that is insane genius and artistry. Just insane. All of them on this one. No one else is doing that live. I guarantee you that. It shifts like the wind. Gorgeous.
Jesca channels the best of Joni Mitchell, and Guy the best of Peter Gabriel...this is my new favorite song...Thank you for bringing me here Tiny Desk Concert!!!
m not a bird I'm a murder of birds Shifting my shape When your tongue finds the words Like I hate you when I Love you the most Love you the most Love you the most This shape of a snake In a defensive coil Same retracted lips Of the one foolish girl Says she hates you when she Loves you the most Loves you the most Loves you And I've got demons when I need 'em Don't ask to see them they're not supposed to be used against You oh Can we build a safe house Far from the bitter bride And we'll make a home with a brown recluse And the cobra locked outside For the spider we'll give a web To the cobra a lullaby And keeping the demons happy You make free for me to fly And the shape of home baked bread And the girl in a turned down bed And a wick of twisted thread From the loving words you said Birds And I think I'm alone In desire for grace Fire only shimmered And I'm no longer safe I say I hate you and I Love you the most Love you the most Love you the most This shape of my breast And a shape of my kiss Demented coil With a slither and hiss Said I hate you and I Love you the most Love you the most Love you And I've got demons when I need 'em Don't ask to see them they're not supposed to be used against You oh Can we build a safe house Far from the bitter bride And we'll make a home with a brown recluse And the cobra locked outside To the spider we'll give a web To the cobra a lullaby And keeping the demons happy You make free for me to fly And the shape of home baked bread And the girl in a turned down bed And a wick of twisted thread From the loving words you said The shape of home baked bread And the girl in a turned down bed And a wick of twisted thread From the loving words you said 'Cause I'm not a bird I'm a murder of birds

No doubt. Might be the most sublime voice and song I've ever heard.
Spell binding. The song my soul has been longing to hear ❤ xXx

That time sig change is absolutely amazing
i love everything about this and cannot say how many times i have listened....
Christ the lyrics of this song are so incredibly dark and sad. This woman has scary depths of beauty and soul-suffering.
May 2023. An astonishing song. Thank you.
Guy Garvey has the most comforting, peaceful voice in this. I love this song!
Jesca, too. Awesome synchronicity.
How beautiful and refreshing this is ,pure quality.
beautiful lyrics. beautiful harmonizing
What a moving way with words. Just scored tickets to see Jesca 3/14 at Cedar Cultural in MPLS. Stoked!
Really wonderful collaboration - one of my favorites!
Great song! Love the sound and melodies of the guitars.
Leaves me filled with hope ❤
Needed new music! Thank you Jesca for bringing joy to my world 💚🌎💙
I guess I'll put in my two cents, since everyone else has: I came here because of Guy Garvey and Elbow. Discovered Jesca opening for Elbow in 2009.
Jesca channels the best of Joni Mitchell, and Guy the best of Peter Gabriel...this is my new favorite song...Thank you for bringing me here Tiny Desk Concert!!!
One of my favorites of all time
i love love love love your songs
Masterpiece 😇
Thank you very much, Jesca. I needed exactly that song. And more, please. 🌹
Voice of an angels ! I love this song...
I love this!
The song has a kind of soft afro-vibe, like, a kora soloing over a bassline. I really dig that.
phenomenal.
that voice
that song
what if it carries me away forever?
Genius...
this is another stuff... excellent...
m not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
Shifting my shape
When your tongue finds the words
Like I hate you when I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most
This shape of a snake
In a defensive coil
Same retracted lips
Of the one foolish girl
Says she hates you when she
Loves you the most
Loves you the most
Loves you
And I've got demons when I need 'em
Don't ask to see them they're not supposed to be used against
You oh
Can we build a safe house
Far from the bitter bride
And we'll make a home with a brown recluse
And the cobra locked outside
For the spider we'll give a web
To the cobra a lullaby
And keeping the demons happy
You make free for me to fly
And the shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said
Birds
And I think I'm alone
In desire for grace
Fire only shimmered
And I'm no longer safe
I say I hate you and I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most
This shape of my breast
And a shape of my kiss
Demented coil
With a slither and hiss
Said I hate you and I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you
And I've got demons when I need 'em
Don't ask to see them they're not supposed to be used against
You oh
Can we build a safe house
Far from the bitter bride
And we'll make a home with a brown recluse
And the cobra locked outside
To the spider we'll give a web
To the cobra a lullaby
And keeping the demons happy
You make free for me to fly
And the shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said
The shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said
'Cause I'm not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
still one of my favorites
