Birdhaus

by Gold & Shadow

supported by

For The Rock thumbnail
For The Rock Birdhaus is an extremely fresh take on the classic G&S Art/Indie Rock sound. Beautiful melodies and catchy harmonies, just a great EP, bittersweet that it may be the last. Favorite track: Dimension.

Dimension 04:01
I’m hoping it’s “out of this world” what if it’s not? what if I’m wrong? I’m cycling through all that I know I’m taking account of my roles what have I lost? what has it cost to think this much! I scan my new dimensions I look in all directions call for help to come waiting on the sun strangled by the sum of what I’ve done I’ve wasted my thoughts on a girl writing about how we were, and what went wrong I’m trying to write something else not always about how I’ve felt, and not this song! I'll go in all directions I can’t hold my attention what have I become? once in a life you may find someone right some give in, some hold on for a night peace be upon those who call on the son make it right, settle in for the fight! I scan my new dimensions I look in all directions when at last it comes the promise of the sun

Judges 03:52
hey, call my name step into the flood step into the flame hey, hear my voice in confidence or fear in silence or in noise in a state of disconnect your head is low, your neck is bent everything about you says you're leaving soon, you're dispossessed you're trying to save what's left son, look above step out of the car step into the blood i'm not trying to call you out for giving in, for giving out but in a state of disconnect, this is what you get

Little Death 05:43
hey, are you home? can I stay, wrapped up in the warmth of your coats and your books and that leather couch in your father’s house things I knew and haven’t lost carried on, and put down into song for too long… things I know I’m in her room I’m stealing clothes I can’t believe her words could turn me into stone and I’m alone, I’m afraid that this distance shows we won’t last the day run away, watch it break in a daze, things I knew ripped away hey, are you home? can I stay? you must be the living fulfillment of my dreams

Lifegiver 03:47
seize the day while it’s still here and hear his voice and live receive the lifegiver he only wants to give come adore on bended knee come raise your voice and sing the gift he has is free it cost him everything he’s gonna give forever

about

Like Big Pink or more recently Gorilla Manor, "Birdhaus" is a loving tribute to the man palace where these songs were brought to life with strings, skins, and a newly-added synthesizer. It's maybe also a more mythical place - the upper canopy - more than just a home for winged creatures, also a resting place for the human soul.
