Free As A Bird
Panpipes 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 song "Free as a Bird" by Panpipes is an emotional and introspective ballad. The lyrics reflect on the past and present feelings of freedom and loss. The song reflects on what we have lost over time and how it feels to be free. The opening line, "Free as a bird, it's the next best thing to be" suggests that freedom is highly valued and desirable.
The second part of the song reflects on the current situation and asks where things went wrong. "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?" These lyrics are all about looking back and trying to understand what went wrong in the past. Overall, the song is melancholic and reflective.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was originally recorded by The Beatles in 1995, as part of a project to create new songs using John Lennon's unfinished demos. The Beatles' version was later released after Lennon's former bandmates Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr completed the recording. The Panpipes version, however, is an instrumental version of the Beatles' song.
