The Yellow Bird

Apr 23, 2005 14:16

I noticed in the album "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" by Bright Eyes there is the reference to the "yellow bird" in more than one song. I have no idea where it came from and it has been bugging me, because I would like to know where it came from...but maybe I'm not supposed to know and just draw my own conclusions...

In Posion Oak...

"And I never thought this life was possible
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for"

In We Are Nowhere, And It's Now

"Did you forget that yellow bird?
How could you forget that yellow bird?

She took a small silver wreathe and pinned it onto me
She said this one will bring you love
I don’t know if it’s true but I keep it for good luck"
