about

This song was inspired by starling murmurations. Separate entities magically flying in sync to form beautiful dancing shapes in the sky. That elusive thread of connection between humans makes you wonder what amazing things we could do if we worked together.

lyrics

I'm tethered to you
Like a starling to a starling
I think I’m hypno-magnetized

The dark is looming
Won’t you do-si-do me darling?
Dance me through the twilight sky

Hallelujah
Sing the steeples that we pass
Then we dive down deep
And we hear the gutters gasp

Hallelujah
Sing the scrapers in the sky
And we never catch a penny
But we try

With you
I fly wild

My synchro-mystery
I have no existory
Before reflected in your eye

Whether near or farling
My heart’s a tethered starling
Dancing in the twilight sky

Hallelujah
Sing the maples that we pass
Then we dive down deep
And we nearly meet the grass

Hallelujah
Cry the wily satellites
And we never catch a comet
But we try

With you
I fly wild

With you
I fly wild
