Big Field
Sam Bisbee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling the moon glow, earth flow, world gyration
Running with the pleasure of bare feet
Hand on my chest, feel the heartbeat
Ready for the love vibration, for the palpitation
Going to tilt back, grinning to the halo overhead
It's a midnight mosspatch moon swoon
And I'm spinning around under the moon feeling raised in the haze
Of tree bend leaf shake bird call
Cricket harmony
And my head is on the ground
And my feet are in the air
And my head is on the ground
Now we're getting buck naked in the big barn
When I feel the she shout shock of an echo
Gliding, rising, lifting me up into the open
Till I'm back in the big field
She's by my side, dancing to the treetops
Flickering like a firefly
She's by my side
Dancing to the tree bend leaf shake bird call
Cricket harmony
And my head is on the ground
And my feet are in the air
And my head is on the ground
Clinging to the floor like a sea anemone
Comb my hair like a popstar wannabe
Swinging in my paisley shirt and slacks
Giving out my number, no phone, just fax
Checking the time on my watch so thin
Automatic light as the world grows dim
Out of my queen-size bed at midnight
Into the clubscene crawl till daylight
And my head is on the ground
And my feet are in the air
And my head is on the ground
And my feet are in the air
And my head is on the ground
And my feet are in the air
And my head is on the ground
And my feet are in the air
And my head is on the ground
And my feet are in the air
And my head is on the ground
And my feet are in the air
The song "Big Field" by Sam Bisbee paints an image of running barefoot through a big field on a moonlit night. The lyrics are full of imagery and sensory details that transport the listener to a place of wild abandon and joy. This is a song about shaking off the constraints of society and reveling in the beauty and freedom of nature.
The opening lines of the song set the scene of the singer running through a big field at night, feeling the moon's glow and the energy of the world. They are running with joy, feeling their heartbeat, and ready to be swept up in the love and palpitation of the night. The lyrics then describe the pagan holiday-like atmosphere, with the singer spinning under the moon and feeling raised in the haze of nature's elements. There is a sense of surrender to the power of the natural world and the freedom it brings.
The second half of the song shifts to a more frenzied and chaotic atmosphere, with the singer getting naked in a big barn and feeling lifted up into the open by shock waves of sound. They are dancing with a partner and feeling the flicker of fireflies around them. The lyrics then describe actions like combing their hair, giving out their number, checking the time, and crawling through a club scene until daylight. There is a sense of wild abandon and living in the moment, experiencing everything life has to offer without inhibition.

Late night, running through the big field
Running through a big field at night
Feeling the moon glow, earth flow, world gyration
Feeling the effects of the natural world around him
Running with the pleasure of bare feet
Enjoying the sensation of running barefoot
Hand on my chest, feel the heartbeat
Feeling his own heartbeat with his hand

Going to tilt back, grinning to the halo overhead
Looking up at the moon and feeling happy
It's a midnight mosspatch moon swoon
The moon and surroundings make for a romantic atmosphere
It's a pagan hipsway holiday
The atmosphere feels pagan and wild
And I'm spinning around under the moon feeling raised in the haze
Spinning around and enjoying the atmosphere
Of tree bend leaf shake bird call Cricket harmony
Listening to the sounds of nature around him
And my head is on the ground
His head is touching the ground
And my feet are in the air
His feet are lifted up
Now we're getting buck naked in the big barn
Getting undressed in a barn
When I feel the she shout shock of an echo
Hearing an echo
Gliding, rising, lifting me up into the open
Feeling uplifted and free
Till I'm back in the big field
Returning to the big field
She's by my side, dancing to the treetops
Dancing together under the trees
Flickering like a firefly She's by my side
Being close and intimate
Dancing to the tree bend leaf shake bird call Cricket harmony
Dancing together while listening to nature's sounds
Clinging to the floor like a sea anemone
Lying down on the floor
Comb my hair like a popstar wannabe
Styling his hair like a celebrity
Swinging in my paisley shirt and slacks
Swinging around while wearing certain clothing
Giving out my number, no phone, just fax
Handing out contact information
Checking the time on my watch so thin
Checking the time on a thin watch
Automatic light as the world grows dim
The light changes as it gets dark
Out of my queen-size bed at midnight Into the clubscene crawl till daylight
Leaving bed at midnight to go out to nightclubs
