If you were not around for the '80s you missed something special.

Im a 1982 baby. I still love 80s music. The best guitar ever. 80s guitar music.

[skeleman]

Graduated HS in 1981, wife in 1983, married in 1985...we still have our record collections from the 80's! BEST DECADE OF MUSIC!!

This song was ahead of it's time, choruses like it's wouldn't become big until 30 years later.

[colinschan]

Generation X. I played this song on repeat!

[mabv]

New wave masterpiece. All the feeling of the eighties.

Thanks for a clean and quality upload of a highly under-rated song.

Icicle Works – Birds Fly Lyrics

Love come down upon us till you flow like water
Burning with the hope of insight
Feathered, look they're covered with a bright elation
Stolen in the sight of love
We are, we are, we are but your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are, we are, we are rather helpless
Take us forever, a whisper to a scream
Birds fly in the eyes of the faithless daughter
Broken at the bitter end
Wasted sacrificed for a new nirvana
Nighttime sends us on our way
We are, we are, we are but your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are, we are, we are rather helpless
Take us forever a whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
A whisper to a scream
We are, we are, we are but your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are, we are, we are rather helpless
Take us forever a whisper to a scream
We are, we are, we are but your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are, we are, we are rather helpless
Take us forever a whisper to a scream
We are, we are, we are but your children
Finding our way around indecision
We are, we are, we are rather helpless
Take us forever a whisper to a scream
...
