Greetings Hive!!!
I'm back again with this cover song I just recently learned. I started listening to this band just this year, but they have been around since the early 2ooo's, with their first release being around 2004. Blackfield is a collaboration between the founder of Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, and Israeli pop star Aviv Geffen. They are still going and just released a new album last year. This particular track is from 2011's "Welcome To My DNA". I found them by listening to suggestions to add to my main Spotify playlist you can find and listen to by clicking HERE. Their music is like most of my taste, filled with melancholy. This particular song brought me to tears when I first heard it because it almost seems like they wrote it about my life. Being an adoptee and growing up the black sheep simply because I was adopted because most of my family did not really accept me. I would hear from my mother how some of my Aunts, Uncles, Cousins etc. did not consider me family because I was not blood related... Terrible I know but they were old fashioned and dare I say backwards. In life I've always moved around, never settling like many for too long and it has caused me to feel disconnected from the world. This song really codified that for me. Anyway, enough of my ramblings, enjoy the song!
Lyrics
Wherever I stay, there's a feeling I'm so far away
I got no hometown, I never put roots down
I bet you feel safe keeping your life in a cage
While I take my chances, but it always collapses
I really don't know what it needs to put my smile on
Turn the light on
It always seems I'm falling down
They think I'm crazy
They think I'm crazy
There's a child in me, still hiding behind the old tree
But aren't we all hiding 'til the moment we're dying
Maybe I'm free, but freedom just means that I'm lost
(Means that I'm lost, means that I'm lost)
It feels like I'm driving without ever arriving
I really don't know what it needs to put my smile on
Turn the light on
It always seems I'm falling down (falling down, falling down)
They think I'm crazy
They think I'm crazy
Wherever I stay, there's a feeling I'm so far away
I got no hometown, I used to run so fast
