Little bird
Have you got a key?
Unlock the lock
Inside of me
Where will you go
To keep yourself afloat?
Feeling old
Until the wing
Unfolded
Caught me a long wind
Where will we go
To keep ourselves afloat?
I caught a long wind
A long life wind
I got to know the sky
But it didn't know me
I got to see the land
And land on top of the sea
And be the bird and be the key
And the current tells
What the wave withheld
And the lightning sang
Of where the light would land
Where will you go
To keep yourself afloat?
I caught a long wind
A long life wind
Like a swallow
A night owl
A little chickadee
Sad sparrow
Good morning bird
Good nightingale
I took a deep breath
And caught a long wind

| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: May 03, 2013 - 21:08 The piano backing does it for me (aside from the fab vocal)—especially at the bridge, beautiful subtle chords, perfectly blended. How cool. |

| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Jan 27, 2013 - 08:47 Feist's music does not connect with me. But I can understand the appeal and it sounds very, very tight.
Fesit is a great addition to the radioparadise play list. |

I had almost written her off. Were I capable, my dream job would involve releasing an album of accessible pop that would keep me in skittles for the rest of my life and break me into the US market, then spend my days making creative, beautiful music that would keep me and my dedicated fans happy. Pity, I can't do either one.... Anyway, I know that's not what Feist did, but if you were to compare this song with Mushaboom, it might seem that way. |

| number7 (Napanee, Ontario, Canada) | Posted: Mar 02, 2012 - 17:22 What an amazing talent. There are not many that can give you goose bumps from just a squeeze on a note. |

| cmarcan | Posted: Feb 23, 2012 - 08:39 Please. Please. Please. No more Feist. Her music was somewhat tolerable when she first came out, but now I find her voice to be extremely annoying and I'm sick of hearing her stuff being overplayed on commercial stations. It's bad enough, I have to stop the music and wait till she's done. |
| Ears_of_Stone (Crushed under the hooves of the herd) | Posted: Feb 23, 2012 - 08:38 This song shines for me with headphones on. |

| TJS (Bradley, Il) | Posted: Feb 15, 2012 - 09:42 So is the title a twist on Tori Amos' "Caught a Lite Breeze"? |

| The_Meddler | Posted: Jan 18, 2012 - 21:36 I like Feist but her voice seems almost forced at times in this song and it almost sounds like someone is getting spanked toward the end of the song? |

A woman to be looked up to. 8 from the newly-smitted Nottingham jury. |
