Gatekeeper by Feist (from Let It Die)

Probably have posted this before, but 1. it’s one of my favourite Feist songs (from her best album), 2. it’s perfect for Spring/ Summer and 3. I’m seeing her live tonight, so I’m a bit overexcited!

Cicadas and Gulls by Feist (from Metals)

Cicadas and gulls
They scrape on the hull
The land and the sea
They’re distant from me

I’m in the sky, sky, sky
I’m in the sky

Thoughts are like pearls
And flags are unfurled
When we’re in the dark
I’ll ride you like the ark

Because you’re mine, mine, mine
Because you’re mine

Maps can be poems
When you’re on your own
And distance is braille
And all that entails

I’m in the sky, sky, sky
I’m in the sky
I’m in the sky

x "Is this the way to live
For me to be yours
Is this the way to live
Is it wrong to want more"

Caught A Long Wind by Feist (from the beautiful new album Metals)

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 wings unfolded
Caught me a long wind
Where will we go
Keep ourselves afloat

I caught a long wind
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
Be the bird, be the key
And the current tells
What the wave withheld
And then the lightning sang
Of where the light would land
Where will you go
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, oh good nightingale
I took a deep breath
And caught a long wind

Train Song (Live) by Feist and Bon Iver (Original by Vashti Bunyan)

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long

I Feel It All by Feist

I feel it all I feel it all
I feel it all I feel it all
The wings are wide the wings are wide
Wild card inside wild card inside

Old teenage hopes

are alive at your door
Left you with nothing
but they want some more

Feist - Now At Last

“Now at last I see
How my heart was blind
To the joys before me
That I left behind…”
