Lyrics:
Love is a bird
I can barely see
Even in the darkness right in front of me
you were shining bright
Through the window in the morning
and there’s a tone
That rises gently
with the wind
you can be free, sometimes brave
sometimes all you wanna do is run away
I don’t need the curse
The hurt is much too real
Are we even lost
Im silently waiting
for how our room will be painted
I know its hard this time
I know, you know this time
How could I wait till you recognized me
When you were there inside my dreams?
you don’t have to go
I wanna make you stay
Goodbye, so long anyway…
Ive been up since the break of dawn
I Lost my mind today
at the sea I can hear the trains
winds of change so new
blowin’ right through me
and blowin’ back through you
then pull you into the light
Now im home and its clear you’re gone
I lost my edge today
singing all my songs in a pouring rain
pushed and pulled apart at the seams
I can feel the chains
The winds of love blow few
Let it move through me
Let it blow through you
And take you into the night

The more I listen, the more I like. I initially heard lots of influence (or at least similarities) to 80s George Harrison, some little bits of Billy Idol in some of the guitar work and progressions, and some Bryan Adams in the vocal style. Now I'm hearing lots of Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits, which is great because they are in my top 3 favorite bands of all time. You guys are awesome. Keep it up. I can't even believe how much I'm loving this. I haven't been plugged into seeking out new music in years, but as a new-to-me group, you are making me want to get back into it.

This band is extraordinarily rich in emotion. They helped me through a lot of hard times. Some people I’ve lost, some people I’ve had to let go. I pray the love of my life isn’t one of those.. They make me feel human, and I need that in my life. I need to feel like I’m alive and I’m here, I need to feel accepted and supported. I need compassion and forgiveness. I am hurting a lot, but I know there is a person out there whether it’s this band, or someone so beautifully broken that I pray has healed. That’s all I need

I heard Bob Dylan in a Rolling Thunder Revue recording and loved him. I bought a TWOD album same day and drove up the coast of Maine in the dark. Loved it too. Yes the Dylan element is there, but Dire Straits and the boss too-but the cinematic yet intimate sensibility is all theirs. Love the album close.

Hi John Davis, it's me again, you and I are big TWOD fans! At first, I thought of my grandparents so so long ago that I lost when I was 7-10 years old and I love this song so much, been playing it how long now? 3 years? Now all year I've been watching my dad fade away gradually from dementia, just crossing over, taking his last breaths. He just passed away in our presence in hospice, peacefully, freed of pain and suffering, and I've been continuously playing this song, and even though I cry, it gives me solace, peace, and closure. I love and miss my dad so much, and I love this band so much, and as I have told you before, I am so lucky to have seen them 3 times in NYC, and plan to see them again. Peace brother.

It's mesmerizing! 😮😪
