She has perfect taste in: Words, Sounds, Images.
Her voice is so powerful!
A lot of people think this song is about her warning her past self about how boys will break you. I think this song is about a mother warning her child (her sparrow) about how hard life is and telling her to be careful, telling her it's harder than you think. Then the sparrow doesn't listen and life takes them away...
I agree. Every bird needs to learn to fly. leaving the nest, so to speak. As a parent, we too need to learn how to let our fledglings fly.
Nice. I read somewhere that Neko ran away from home at 15? and ended up in Vancouver, BC. She played drums in a all girl punk band etc, IMO this particular song echoes similar themes to other songs she has created. There is that longing, some sorrow and a little regret lurking in between the lines. Though those last few images of the grown woman suggests she is reminiscing. Case is fantastic, far too creative/intelligent for most.

@clairetundra1683 "and life takes them away..."
Who else does life take away?
the sparrow is her pain. She had been forwarned. And had not listened.
Sometimes the pain is intentional, and it is to be experienced, for ourselves.
Such a voluminous voice
Neko Case siempre me hace llorar cada vez que traduzco sus letras
Thanks for Neko Case and company for keeping our orange economy and indie musicians driven music industry alive. You are such a breath of fresh air against the toxicity of algorithmic written rock.
This is the saddest song in the history of the world
I find carry me ohio sadder
This is such a sad song if you put it in a certain perspective. A few points are, The sparrow that sang would be gone FOREVER! And its bones would turn to dust eventually.
Her songs are so awesome
The bird-like sounds at the end always get me
Great voice, wonderful song and beautiful video ... what else? *****
amazing song and great animation..so much loss loss loss, loss of everything ..plants species animals land customs language stories homes
I am not sure that the "real" meaning of this song is the point - all I know is that when I hear it, it stops me in my tracks and makes me miss my dad, (who passed from Covid 12/20) in a way that hurts like nothing I've ever even considered, but also makes me grateful for the pain.
Lost my childhood country home lately, video hits hard
I heard this song years ago, and at the time, after it had ended, turned, and looked at my cat, who, I had for four years, prior. He ended up living another ten years, but In that moment, after hearing this song, I knew he would die, and that I would have to not only have the deed done, but bury him, thereafter. I don't think I looked at him the same. Makes me wonder if pets look at us, in the same way.
Truly amazing
Brilliant. Captivating.
listening to this song, all I can do is thinking to all my cats that vanished from this world because they were too candid and unprepared for its cruelty. oh my sweet sparrows, in any reality this house will always be here for you...
Nobody makes me transcend out of myself like Neko Case. Other worldly>
Yes, well put, she is magical in her music making, the timbre of her voice alone is very special : )
Great song, great video.
Wonderful.
I found this song on Ground Zero Radio.. first time listening to it. They have some good music on this station.
Great song
Well done, bravo, bravo!
かっけえ声
Thanks to great female vocalists and songwriters like Neko Case for ensuring that we are not engaged in masculine toxicity!!
a longing lament for all things lost.
Maybe sparrow you should wait
The hawks alight till morning
You'll never pass beyond the gate
If you don't hear my warning
Notes are hung so effortless
With the rise and fall of sparrow's breast
It's a drowning dive and back to the La di da di da di da
La di da di da di da
Oh my sparrow it's too late
Your body limp beneath my feet
Your dusty eyes cold as clay
You didn't hear my warning
Maybe sparrow it's too late
Moonlight glanced off metal wings
In a thunderstorm above the clouds
The engine hums a sparrow's phrase
For those who cannot hear the words
For those who cannot hear the words
For those who will not hear the words
La di da di da di da
La di da di da di da
Maybe sparrow
Maybe sparrow
Maybe sparrow

Something with the voice and video animation reminds me of the song Jack & Jill by Kim Richey.

LA de da de da de dum..🦉
quizás gorrión. linda cancion.

I love this song, but... hawk = owl?
The sparrow is a victim to the owl
I’m just confused because the lyrics specify that the bird of prey is a hawk. It’s still a suuuuper pretty animation, though, and a beautiful song.
best viewed at sparrow's fart...
