Deep Purple - Bird Has Flown Lyrics

Mark I was the most progressive of all DP's lineups.

this song reveals the deepest part of the soul of deep purple for the first time

melodia extraordinaria

'Bout to put my Cowboy hat on and start playing rdr2

uuuuh, what a song , one or my favorites form early DP band

Ritchie Blackmore's solo 2:48

Lyrics:

Oh the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only grains of sand

All the children in the distant house
They have feelings only children know
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of snow

The sensation is not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all have known

And the bird it has flown
To a place on it's own
Somewhere all alone

Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me

The sensation's not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all have known

And the bird it has flown

Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me

Oh it's started snowing

2:48 GUITAR SOLO

That crescendo in the last minute drives me nuts.

great solo from richie

masterpiece

Just taught myself to play the organ solo on this. What a rush to play what I've loved to hear for years. Such a dark ominous organ tone. This sound is 'off the chain' with a little distortion, reverb, and C-3 chorus/vibrato effect.

This reminds me of all that acid I took in the 80s.

I took the acid in the early 2000....but the song remains the same!!!😂😂😂

Or in the late 70s.

This reminds me of eye to eye by audience

The cover art kind of reminds me of the reign in blood cover art

raul serrano Heironymus Bosch is the artist

If for some reason you have to study only one painter in your life, make it be Jerome (Hieronymus) Bosch.

Yea. i agree. It seems music has gone to hell with all this disco-ish rap music.

Yup, now we have all that shitty lil-pump shit. Hearing this makes me feel like beeing still in the gold fever times

@triplettam Oh yes, totally agree. I really like that album :-)
Cheers and greetings from Italy \o/

@lorileeslove Hieronymus Bosch.

@ILoveAnnieHaslam Check out Captain Beyond's first album. Rod was great.

grande banda esta aih porra

@jeffreygaudreault Why Cream?

the keyboard solo sounds like sandstorm if you listen closely

@astaroth6969 Blackmore is THE guitar god (deliberate small 'g') ~ He is THE most emotive guitarist EVER.

;-)

@eldibar Me too - I have ALL mk1 Purple albums on vinyl - AWESOME band & one of the best collections of music you will EVER hear. ;-)

Evans actually sounds like Bowie in some of this.

Rod Evans always sounds 10x better than Bowie

thenaturegurl No

That outrageous wah is glorious.

@THCSOUNDS1 chaa que estas en todos los videos que veo??

extraordinario!

One of the better mk 1 songs, used to listen to this and all the others on the compilation album "Purple Passages"

I've got the original LP from the first relese.

De pelos, el solo es magníco. gracias

@Lobsterlady2362 Whole *Album..... I didnt even know about Rod Evans until my mom called me one day, she was at a garage sale and knowing aia collect albums said "Hey do you want this Deep Purple album"? I asked "Which one?" She said I dunno just says Deep Purple, but I was compelled to say yes and this album opened me up to a whole new world of Deep Purple. I absolutely love there early stuff. With this one being my faovrite album with Rod.

ah, that makes sense. theyre both great

The other version of this is the single version

This is the album version-Rod-great!

deep purple-day&night!

ive heard that one. i love em about the same to be honest, just different styles

the first version i heard of this was slightly different, didnt sound like a live version, but it was definitely different. possibly an alternate take, anyone know anything about that?

You never hear anyone make music like this anymore.

Rod sounds like David Bowie.

What a fantastic Hammond bridge by Lord starting at 3:35. Incredible!

Mi rola favorita de los Deep Purple !!! clásica!!! haz patria ..escucha roooooooccckkkk !!!

Rod Evans is a great singer...Great voice, great style..
