Artist: City And Colour
Track: Fragile Bird
Album: Little Hell
Year: 2011
I have a bunch of music by City And Colour off of their first two albums and all of it was very mellow & acoustic. "Fragile Bird" has got more of an alternative rock feel, but I quite like it.
I first heard this song on a radio station in Quebec City in Canada. I loved that radio station because they gave me a little information about "Fragile Bird" before playing the song, making it mean so much more to me. So, I'm going to play that part for you now!
City and Colour is the recording alias of Dallas Green (he created the alias based on his name...do you see it?). The song "Fragile Bird" was written about his wife who suffers from night terrors. Knowning that, if you listen to the lyrics of the song, especially the chorus, you can feel Green's desperate helplessness when his wife goes through these every nights. I can feel it as I listen to the song.

LYRICS:
When she sleeps
There is a fever dream, yeah
It brings a night terror
To harm this fragile bird
She speaks in tongues
Her words they come undone, yeah
And with a wayward mind
She struggles through the night
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night
Through the night
These cold nightmares
They make her worse for wear
Lost in the dark
She's got a heavy heart
And when she wakes
In her fragile state
Well, she calls my name
Hoping that I keep her safe
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
All the I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night
Through the night
Through the night
Through the night
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
All that I can do
Is hope she makes it through
Through the night
