LYRICS
Ah-oh...
Oh oh...
Ah yeah
You see the two black birds flying... flying high just to be together
When we face the music, it might help you to the other side of a great divide
Fly together
Ask the grand master, why, ask him why, life feels so hard sometimes
You got the muse, the music, sweet soul music
To reignite your soul, to reignite your soul
Because life is more, more than a love song, it’s more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
This life is more than a dream, more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
Take your time, and realize, and fly
I hear the two blue birds sing that song
Dee dee diddly yeah
My respects to the grand master for the lines, such a pretty thing
How the melody abides
But life is more, more than love song, it’s more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
This life is more, more than a dream, more than a fantasy
More than a little bit
Because life is more, more than a love song, it’s more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
I’m through the door now, see the sun shining
More than a little bit
I’m through the door, we know life is more
More than pretty things or singing melodies
Oh life is more, way more, oh yeah, more
Why when the thunder sounds and you see the lightning almost touch the ground
You hear a voice sometimes, my inner child sings
Fly together, fly together
But life feels so hard sometimes and you start to lose your mind, just grab your sister’s hand
Fly together
Black Pumas show them how
The blue birds, fly together
Fly together/fly together
Fly together/fly together
Fly together
Will help me sing a song and fly
Fly, touch that sky
Fly together/fly together
Fly together/fly together
Fly together/fly together
Fly together/fly together
Fly together/fly together
Fly together/fly together

I continue to be so proud of you Eric. I always believed in your talent when we were two kids in choir. I knew watching you with your guitar playing down the streets in Alamogordo, at the coffee shops. I knew when you moved away you were going to do amazing things, and you continue to shine and make us back home proud!

[@strangewayfaringstranger]

Can't hold back that kind of talent.

This song gave me chills, it is so good. These guys are the best thing to happen to soul music since the 1990s Philly wave (Musiq, India Arie, Jill Scott, Maxwell, D'Angelo...etc...) but to get on this level of songwriting you would have to look at people Like Stevie Wonder in the 70s...I hope the blow up big coast to coast, this music is good for the soul!

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

There has been some really good bands coming out the south and heard on alternative stations. One I really like outside of BP is Saint Paul and the Broken Bones. They do a blues, old school jazzy sound and it is great. While top 40 keeps sinking in garbage of auto tune and computerized fake music alternative has been doing some really interesting stuff with Black Pumas as the most exciting and head of the pack. I consider the music underground since it is underground, renegade stuff from the awful crap being pushed these days. Also check out Austin City Limits for some new acts that are serious.
