about

There’s this effect, it has on you, when you fall for someone new. You evolve, explore and embrace new versions of yourself. It’s a madly courageous state and it’s what singer-songwriter Silver Birch’s new song «A Pigeon And A Knife» is about.
The song opens a large, sparsely furnished scene: A rich ‘70s moog-string-synth and singer/guitarist Patrick Lerjen’s distinct guitar weave a stormy sea. It’s a bitter-sweet adventure well worth the risk. A life lived, «A Pigeon And A Knife».

lyrics

We put ourselves out there
And we can't back it up
We are too high to care
Savoring low to top

The dreamers that are me
They lived in secrecy
They had to shun the light

Faint-hearted as I was
All that I knew was flaws
How did I fear the night

You came into my life
A pigeon and a knife
While I was lost at sea
You dared to rescue me

We speak our minds on stage
Not afraid to pick a fight
And when we miss our cage
We're crawling back inside

The dreamers that are me
They lived in secrecy
They had to shun the light

Faint-hearted as I was
All that I knew was flaws
How did I fear the night

You came into my life
A pigeon and a knife
While I was lost at sea
You dared to rescue me

You came into my life
A pigeon and a knife
While I was lost at sea
You are, you are, you are

You're in my life
A pigeon and a knife
A pigeon and a knife
You are, you are
You're in my life
You you
You came into my life
