Great song... weird video, still trying to figure out what the video is really trying to say... or perhaps, it's not trying to say anything... I always liked this song since the first time I heard it... and I remember vaguely someone told me to really look into the lyrics. The song is on my MD, and I have been listening to it before Paris, when I was in Paris, back home, in Sydney, and back in Boston. Yesterday, after grocery shopping, while walking home with all the bags, I'm like a bird was playing on my MD again... This time, I didn't just listen, I thought about it.

Perhaps it is talking about everyone... Perhaps everyone feels the same way. There is always uncertainties in life. Things we cannot control, things we wish is one way but always turn out the other way. Like in "While you were sleeping," the Dad said that life never turns out the way you planned it. There are so many things we want to change in life that just never will happen. And there are things in life that we wish we could run away from. But hey, who knows, maybe the next second you just change your mind.

Anywayz, I just felt that I can relate to the person in this song.

I'M LIKE A BIRD by Nelly Furtado

You're beautiful, that's for sure
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'll 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'll 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
And though my love is true

It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me, 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
