It's fucking awesome! I wouldn't be so certain it will be his final release. FR was demoing the next album so I'm hopeful they will release something down the line even if it's just demos.
The final song on that album, Bird is Bored of Flying feels like a very fitting (bad word choice maybe?) ending.
Anyone know where to get Pedestrian Verse on vinyl? I have all of their others, but haven’t been able to find PV (don’t wanna pay the $200 eBay price)
It’s kind of alarming how intentional this one feels. I think it’ll go down as the darkest song he wrote.
It was hard listening for a bit after the news, but now it's all I'm doing. He was such a wonderful artist.
Goddamn that Frank Turner performance is hard to watch. It’s like he’s doing everything he can to not just completely break down.
Couldn't find them online so I just transcribed them. Do you wonder why The bird is bored of flying It never asked to be alive To be a bird And never cared for heights And it’s seen the earth For what it is, the big ball of inconsequence Still, it sings There’s such a place as too far There’s such a thing as too much And we all want fire until it burns We all want more until it starts to hurt Do you wonder why The bird is bored of flying Still, it sings Shoot it down And pull the wings out I am waiting Shoot it down With copper bullets I am waiting Because we all want fire until it burns Cause we all want more until it starts to hurt Here comes the ground again My concrete safety net As I leave the sky for the earth I shed shed my feathers and my small net worth Here comes the ground again I want less I want less I want less Shoot it down Pull the wings out I am waiting Shoot it down With copper bullets I am waiting Because we all want fire until it burns Cause we all want more until it starts to hurt And I’ve come as far as I can go Close enough to know Bird is bored Bird is bored Bird is bored, bored of flying I’ve seen all that I care to see Become what I don’t want to be Bird is bored Bird is bored Bored of flying Bored of flying Bird is bored Bird is bored Bored of flying
It’s been my favorite track off that release since it came out. Tough to get all the way through it currently though.
I can’t find the full link now either, shit. I just love his voice for it, or maybe the lyrics for his voice, i guess.
I think Andy sounds great/emotional here. Felt a lot of things watching it.. so idk why it’s a bad cover
I like the cover a lot, but they did definitely Manchester Orchestra-ize the song. If you’re not a fan of that style I could see why someone wouldn’t like it. Personally I dig when a band makes a cover their own though.
Honestly this version of Death Dream is one song I've been listening to a lot. It's such a brilliant performance. Sorry if it's already been posted
I need to listed to Mixed Drinks more. It’s the release I’m least familiar with at this point. Long live PV.
