Todays song is Mourning Dove Meets the Mayflower
Lyrics:
Befuddling the face of the morning star...
(Kicking up a flutter in the garden)
She's crashing through the leaves as the branches duck away!
(Kicking up a flutter in the garden)
She's crashing through the leaves as the branches duck away!
Picking up the pace of a moving car...
(She's never gonna stop to beg a pardon)
She's gunning for the shine of a valentine in May...
It's May!
(She's never gonna stop to beg a pardon)
She's gunning for the shine of a valentine in May...
It's May!
Oh - can it be?
Catch that glow from above...
It's a ripe fantasy...
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Catch that glow from above...
It's a ripe fantasy...
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Dropping from the top of the tallest trees...
(Right into the middle of the meadow)
The petals going red, and the fever's on the rise!
(Right into the middle of the meadow)
The petals going red, and the fever's on the rise!
Offers her a drink in the summer breeze...
(She coos a little tune in her falsetto)
Before she jumps into the ring, and then to her surprise...
Surprise!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na...
(She coos a little tune in her falsetto)
Before she jumps into the ring, and then to her surprise...
Surprise!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na...
Oh - can it be?
It's the face of love...
Drunk on life's... ecstasy...
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
It's the face of love...
Drunk on life's... ecstasy...
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Mourning dove meets the mayflower!
Mourning dove...
Mourning dove...
Mourning dove...
Mourning dove...
Mourning dove...
I'm waiting to feel the embrace of the MOURNING DOVE!
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the MOURNING DOVE!
I'm waiting to feel the embrace of the MOURNING DOVE!
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the MOURNING DOVE!
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the MOURNING DOVE!
I'm waiting to feel the embrace of the MOURNING DOVE!
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the MOURNING DOVE!
(I'm waiting to feel the embrace of the mourning dove...
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the mourning dove...
I'm waiting to feel the embrace of the mourning dove...
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the mourning dove...
I'm waiting to feel the embrace of the mourning dove...
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the mourning dove...
I'm waiting to feel the embrace of the mourning dove...
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the mourning dove...)
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the mourning dove...
I'm waiting to feel the embrace of the mourning dove...
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the mourning dove...
I'm waiting to feel the embrace of the mourning dove...
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the mourning dove...
I'm waiting to feel the embrace of the mourning dove...
This race is for real, and I'm chasing the mourning dove...)
Thoughts and Facts:
This song, much like the other songs in the Birds album, has a very lighthearted melody. It has an interesting dreamy feeling to it during the chorus. It has a really funky guitar! And a lot of percussion. Especially during the chorus where cymbal crashes are very prominent. Overall it's a very pretty song^__^ The end gets a bit electronic.
This songs lyrics could be taken both literally metaphorically. It talks about chasing something, seeking something out. Whether this is a character literally chasing a bird through various landscapes or if this Mourning Dove is symbolic of something(Life perhaps, or a greater purpose) this lyrics flow together really well. This is one of my top favorite Bryan Scary songs and you should absolutely check it out.
Mourning Dove Meets the Mayflower is from the Birds Album released in 2019. It is track #2
