Bird in an Aeroplane Lyrics


Feathered to the tips
Lightweight but strong
I can only go this long
Iron, steam and smoke
Your power is endless
I'm only flesh and bone
Airing machine holds a promise to break
Stuck in the dream that I may not escapeI pray for hurricanes
You take off when I want to stay
Out of steam I'm off terrain
I'm a bird in an aeroplane
Crossing continents
We're going in loops
Tell me, will we ever land?
Longing to return
To somewhere I've known
Something quite familiar
Airing machine holds a promise to break

Stuck in the dream that I may not escapeI pray for hurricanes
You take off when I want to stay
Out of steam I'm off terrain
I'm a bird in an aeroplaneWe're flying over mountains
Higher every day
I'm trying to keep up
Trying to match your game
While you are gaining height
I'm fading into grey
And away
I pray for hurricanes
You take off when I want to stay
Out of steam I'm off terrain
I'm a bird in an aeroplane

Oh Land is a Danish singer-songwriter and record producer, whose birth name is Nanna Øland Fabricius. Born in 1985 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Nanna is a daughter of an opera singer mother and an organist father, and a former ballet student who decided to adopt a music career after an injury caused by a slipped disc and spinal fracture forced her to give up dancing. Oh Land's debut album, Fauna, was released in her native Denmark on November 10, 2008 by Danish independent label Fake Diamond Records. Following that, she sailed across the sea to the artistic haven of Brooklyn, NY where she worked with producers Dan Carey, Dave McCracken and Pharrell Williams for her self-titled follow-up, which also served as her debut disc in the United States. The album was released on March 14, 2011 in Europe and the following day in the US.

With her opera singer for a mother, theater organist father and Björk’s Homogenic on constant rotation, Oh Land was enraptured by the combination of experimental and classical arts. “My goal is to sound like I’m from 2050, but still feel really classic, like the music is an old friend,” said Oh Land. She spent her days pirouetting as a ballet dancer at the Danish Royal Ballet Academy when an injury forced her to reinvent herself and discover her true talent and passion as a musician. Oh Land was discovered by Kasper Bjørke who soon released her first album, Fauna, which garnered critical acclaim in her homeland of Denmark. Her soundscapes are lavish, crunchy, symphonic, brute and captivated with rhythms that fly apart. She translates the sounds live via her contraption - a homemade one-woman-band music box topped with balloon video projections (seeing is believing). Her music is for movement and new songs such as the thumping Sun Of A Gun and euphoric White Nights have proven to make even the most portentous get up and dance. Having been discovered by Epic Records at 2009’s SXSW, she is currently putting the finishing touches on her US debut album and an EP to be released this fall.
