Free As a Bird
Orlando Pops Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
La, la, la, la
Home and dry
Like a homin' bird I fly
As a bird on wings
Whatever happened to the life that we once knew
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much
It's always made me feel so
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
La, la, la, la
Home and dry
Like a homin' bird I fly
As a bird on wings
Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
Free as a bird, oh, oh, oh
The Orlando Pops Orchestra's song "Free As a Bird" speaks to the desire for freedom and the confusion that comes with relationships falling apart. The repeated phrase "free as a bird" conveys the idea that being liberated and unrestricted in life is paramount, and perhaps the next best thing to actually being free like a bird. The metaphor of flying like a bird further underscores the idea of freedom.
The lyrics then pivot to questioning what happened to the love and connection that the singer once shared with someone else. There's a sense of loss and longing for what once was. The repetition of the phrase "it's always made me feel so free" brings it back to the idea that experiencing real love and connection can be liberating, and losing it can feel like confinement.
Overall, "Free As a Bird" is a song about seeking freedom and the struggle that comes with it when connections with others are lost.

Simone does the most athletic thing I’ve ever seen. And then proceeded to do the most unathletic thing I’ve ever seen by stepping with the wrong foot

Crumbling under pressure at the Olympics was pretty bad...even worse is people thinking she's the greatest when she proved she can't handle the pressure thus, is by no chance the best.
