Bird, Andrew - Orpheo Lyrics
There are places we must go to
To bring these hollow words on back from
You must cross the muddy river
Where love turns to, love turns to fear
There's only one way
On back from, on back from here
They say you don't look
'Cause it'll disappear
And our eyes they keep on straining
As if to see what lies behind 'em
Through the shells of empty buildings
And great columns of glass
They say you don't look
'Cause it'll drive you mad
And if it drives you mad
Drives you mad
It'll probably pass
And if it drives you mad
And if it drives you mad
It'll probably pass
And if it drives you mad
If it drives you mad
It'll probably pass

Bird, Andrew Orpheo Comments
This used to be on spotify
If you listen closely you can see its about moving on from things good song
can anyone find a live version of this? not orpeheo looks back
My favorite version of this song. I wish there were more live versions in this style rather than the "Orpheo Looks Book" rendition.
Orpheo Cookbook, even.
I love how he melds historical/mythological premise with pure beauty
This song simultaneously breaks my heart yet gives me hope at the same time
So beautiful.
Viejos recuerdos de un amor que no se olvidara jamás...Where love turns to, love turns to fear...
Great :D
It's amazing how the change in tempo/instrumentation changes the entire song from the old version on Break It Yourself.
Has a tint of The Be Good Tanyas.
Check them out, truly nostalgic.
This is my favorite new song. It's so heartbreaking and beautiful. Makes me nostalgic.
The Master writes another beauty.... incredibly beautiful to me. Wow. Mr. Bird how deep can you go?
Listening to this in a public place right now. Almost broke down in man-tears.
SO GOOD
One of my favorite versions of one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists. Swoon....
Hope to see you in NYC, Mr. Bird.
