Their debut CD Psycho de Lia, released in 1997, has sold over 2000 copies at shows and in regional record stores. Their second album, Sleeping With the Enemy, was released in the winter of 2000 and has receved great reviews.
Sheldon's unique style combines in your face hard rock with almost reflective moments of calm and quiet. Singer Daniel Garvin's unique voice, simple melodies, and the groups use of harmonies attract audiences from all walks of life giving them a diverse fan base. However, the groups style is not based around the typical "flavor of the day" sound. Live performances are an explosion of lush sound and energy that exhibit the band's superb musicianship. Sheldon's sound is as true live as it is on their CDs.
The group consists of three members: Daniel Garvin (bass & lead vocals), Hodgi Garvin (rhythm & lead guitar, backing vocals), and Keith Smyly (drums).
Sheldon has performed with such national acts as: Corrosion of Conformity, Clutch, Machine Head, Suicidal Tendencies, Stuck Mojo, Acid Bath, Drown, Snot, Nation of Fear, The Misfits, and GWAR to name a few.
They have enjoyed air play on stations such as: 96 Wave in Charleston, SC, The Rock Station 94.5 in Winston Salem, NC, Rock 102 in Savannah GA, and they have been featured on several compilation CD's including Deep South Records's Southern Slam disc. Sheldon has also been mentioned favorably on the nationally syndicated Howard Stern Radio Show.
If you are interested in a group that is dead set on bringing validity and a sense of realism back to rock music, then Sheldon is guaranteed to deliver.
Sheldon also recorded two previously unreleased albums (Illinois & Electric Shotgun Sounds) that will be released in 2012 as well as an album of totally new material. After a 6 year hiatus, Sheldon is back!
I'm Like A Bird
Sheldon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
The song "I'm Like A Bird" by Nelly Furtado is about the fear of commitment and the desire for freedom. The song talks about a relationship in which the singer is afraid to give in completely and is worried about losing their sense of self. The first verse talks about the beauty of the partner, but the fear of change is expressed when the singer states "That I won't ever change".

You're beautiful, that's for sure
You are truly beautiful, that is a fact
You'll never ever fade
Your beauty will never diminish
You're lovely but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
You are lovely, but I cannot promise I won't change

Though my love is true
My love is uncommon, but it is genuine

(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I am flighty, like a bird, and I am unsure of where I belong or where I am going
Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
Your trust in me moves me to tears, even after all this time
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
It hurts me to say that you do not truly understand me
It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
I do not want to say goodbye to you, but I know with each passing day, I am closer to losing you
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through
Despite the rarity and truth of my love, I am afraid that we may not survive as a couple
