The Crane Wives - Canary In A Coal Mine (Lyrics)

[@Littlebittyfrog]

Here’s some meaning for canary in a coal mine Canary’s back in the 1900’s we’re used to go down in coal mines, for when it dies that means there’s some toxic air in the atmosphere. It would alert the miners to get out there as quickly as possible.

Now it’s just a idiom for death is coming

The really sweet thing about that was that despite their bosses being just fine with the canaries dying, mining workers often learned how to do bird CPR so they could try to save the canary as they were getting out.

In case anyone is curious, "Canary In A Coal Mine" is a saying for an early warning sign of death/danger, derived from a tradition in the early 1900s in which miners would send canary birds into coal mines. If the canaries dropped dead, that meant there were toxic gasses in the atmosphere, warning the miners to get out :)

I showed my cousin this song and some other Crane Wives songs and she didn't like it (HOW DARE HER IK IT'S SO RIDICULOUS, ahem) and I've come to the conclusion that maybe only traumatized, depressed, or mentally ill people can understand and love this music 😞 (btw this is just a joke so don't get offended, if u are or not mentally ill not trying to make fun of you or anyone)

[@WindiestRat3]

Every crane wives song needs to be listened to atleast twice to decide if you don’t like it, I used to dislike allies or enemies at one point.

[@OMGITSAWERIDO]

That kind makes sense, and she wasn't really paying attention when I played the song for her.
