Heart of a Cave

Opens with hypnotic katajjaq throat singing interwoven with deep khargyraa drones, Rekuhkara vocals add haunting overtones as didgeridoo forms a pulsing bass layer, Tabla rhythms drive the tempo, joined by modal medieval strings and drone, lending an ancient and mystical texture

[Verse] I found a flower in a field A field of cars and people Rows of concrete Paint and steel Manhattan is where it grew And I thought to cut it from its stem And take it from the cracks between bricks that it lay in And save it from city strife Away from the city life [Pre-Chorus] Then someone They whispered in my ear A country girl can't be made out of anybody here Don't touch it It loves you not Don't touch it It loves you not [Chorus] 'Cause blue birds don't fly without their wings And when we put them in a cage The world can't hear them sing So selfish when greed sets in Possession The king of sin [Verse 2] And people don't ever let you down Forever find a way to kill whatever life they've found A heart beat and I want it too Manhattan is where she grew [Chorus] And I thought to cut her from her skin And when she opened up her wings I knew that I would never win And then she sang She sang [Bridge] Blue bird Blue bird Blue bird Blue bird
