Distance
Animal and Bird Songs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tonight the moon is closer than it's been
In three hundred years
And if you feel like the weakest link
Well you just let your body sink
To the peace underneath
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Your good intent is just as it should be
Never a lie has been so well hidden
In so many years
Don't blame the mess on who brought the message
You don't want to hear just what the truth brings to so many ears.
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Like my pale insignificance
Tonight the moon is closer than it's been
In three hundred years
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Like my pale insignificance
The song "Distance" by Animal and Bird Songs is a contemplative and introspective reflection on life and one's place in the world. The opening lines, "Life lives alone on top of a hill," set a melancholic tone, suggesting a sense of isolation and detachment. The reference to the moon being closer than it has been in three hundred years adds to this feeling of distance and detachment, as though the singer is observing life from afar.
The next lines offer a sense of acceptance and surrender, as the singer advises the listener to "just let your body sink / to the peace underneath." This could be interpreted as encouraging the listener to let go of their anxieties and worries, and find solace in the present moment.
The second verse addresses the idea of good intentions being hidden beneath lies, and the consequences that can arise from speaking the truth. The line "Don't blame the mess on who brought the message" suggests that while we may not always want to hear the truth, it's important to accept responsibility for our own actions and feelings.
Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges their own insignificance, describing themselves as "pale" and seemingly small in the grand scheme of things. Yet, despite this acknowledgement, there is a sense of peace and acceptance that pervades the song.
Overall, "Distance" is a thoughtful and introspective reflection on life, and the ways in which we navigate our own place within it.

I just traveled, alone, in Japan for 3 weeks. I had anxiety and stress before that.
But a lot of these negative thoughts disapeared the moment I landed into that beautiful country of Japan.
Now, I came back in my own country and city and... damn I miss everything I've done in my trip.
This life is so stressful and so fast, everything, everywhere, everyone is living too fast without living the moment.
And here I am, listening to nature in the background, reminding me of that beautiful trip, that wonderful time.
Hope I'll fly soon again like a bird !
Have a great day

🐦 Early in the morning, before the alarm clock wakes me up, it's the melodious sounds of the beautiful birds that wakes me up with a pleasurable feeling. It's the birds melodious sounds that makes my mood feel better and cool. They fly from tree to tree making different types of sounds and getting themselves happy. They also makes my mood feel better and cool.
🐤I opened the windows and peeped through the trees and the flower plants. There, I saw several types of lovely birds and their sweet sounds that gave me a cool relaxation.
Birds welcomes the morning and waiting patiently for the sun to rise. They welcome the sun rise by their melodious sounds that is hardly difficult to highlight its natural performance.
🐦 While I was watching the movements of the beautiful birds through the window, suddenly I felt someone touching my shoulder very slowly and softly. In no time I turned back to see who was that. To my surprise I saw my younger sister Sara watching along with me the bird's free movements and then their pleasurable sounds that attracts our attention and relaxations.
🐤If I was a bird, if I had lovely voices, if I had melodious sounds, if I would be able to fly up in the sky, if I can fly from tree to tree, if I can enjoy the tasty fruits as my favourite, if I could soak my body with the rain shower, if I could allow the sun light to make my tiny body feel better, then how happy I would be to live in this world with full of happiness.
🐦 The birds such as Black cap, willow barbler, Chiff choff, Dunnock, Robin, Gold Finch, Black bird, House Sparrow, Chaffinch, Blue Tit, and the Nightingale birds and their Marvellous actions and their pleasing sounds are much more commendable. Birds melodious sounds gives me a relaxation and pleasure.
🍒 But I am unlucky to be a human being where there is no freedom like a bird has.

I am 81yrs now. Very tired of the pain, anxiety and negative I'm surrounded by. I will be returning Home soon and cant wait. My sweet dog, Izzy, is waiting for me, I'm very excited to see her. To all of you listening to this music from our angels, please care for yourself. Listen to what you need, I did not. I was a nurse for 54 yrs and wore my spirit and body down, not thinking of what I needed. So, listen to your soul, follow your guides. God bless.♥

I know what you mean. At 72 I feel the same way. The Earth and the human race are in shambles due to unbridled greed aided by constant warfare. While 48% of the planet still has no indoor plumbing, people like the Waltons (Walmart) are worth a trillion. So sad.

I know this sounds odd. But thanks for this long video. We are out camping right now but the morning birds are drowned out by a few campers who must run generators all day. So I put this on with my Bluetooth speakers and can relax with the birds singing. Some people walking by seem perplexed on why the birds are all on my site and singing loud and proud, but let them wonder. Thank you once again.
@TheWilsonwslee
Thanks a lot! The fact of life is that I have not paid for this and enjoying it
