sunbird I'm like a bird, an eagle I can fly, feel invincible Spread my wings, feel the freedom I’m not scared of the impossible It’s not my first time bruised and broken I have lost my wings before And even though I’m still healing I can never resist the call And crash, and burn And crash, and burn I never seem to learn Live day to night And dusk till dawn But I never seem to learn Straight into to the sun Through the clouds Time and time Sunburned Sunbird Never learns On the edge Every time Sunbird, sunbird never learns I love the rain, I love the storm I love the race, I love the speed Addicted to life, no fear of fall Surf on the waves, no sight of shore

about

With “Sunbird”, Belgian artist PSY’AVIAH reveals the second single from his forthcoming “Bittersweet” album that seems to be heading towards intimate pop electronica realms with an up-tempo edge.

For this quite autobiographical song revealing the extreme addictive side of passion and devotion, Yves Schelpe once again found in Oliviya Nicole (professional singer in the UK and finalist of “The Voice”) the best fitting fragile and naïve voice for the perfect match: her distinct voice shines through these highly emotional Moog bass & synth arrangements, and beautifully merges with the warmth of Polina Faustova’s live cello parts.

With this blissful sounding “Sunbird”, Yves Schelpe demonstrates once again how PSY’AVIAH keeps exploring different genres and incorporating them into his very own distinctive signature sound while proving that synth pop / indie pop can not only be catchy and versatile, but can also still carry meaningful messages through intelligent lyrics speaking to your heart and soul… And the video clip shot for this song perfectly depicts it through the performance of a dancer aiming at perfection and eventually burning her wings under the red sun…

Throughout this 11-track EP, “Sunbird” gets bathed in multi-coloured sonic flavours each time placing this catchy moody song in different contexts ranging from the ultimate and vulnerable “stripped edit” with cello, Wurlitzer piano and Ben Van de Cruys’ guitars to stunning dancefloor House mixes by James Beachen and 11GRAMS, through a more 80’s synthwave “retro club edit”, and other trance versions by OMNIKS and RESTRICTION 9, or breakbeat dubstep mix by DECKOS.

Learn sunbird learn!

LYRICS

(verse 1)
I'm like a bird, an eagle
I can fly, feel invincible
Spread my wings, feel the freedom
I’m not scared of the impossible

(pre-chorus)
And crash, and burn
And crash, and burn
I never seem to learn
Live day to night
And dusk till dawn
But I never seem to learn

(chorus)
Straight into to the sun
Through the clouds
Time and time
Sunburned
Sunbird
Never learns
On the edge
Every time
Sunbird, sunbird never learns

(verse 2)
It’s not my first time bruised and broken
I have lost my wings before
And even though I’m still healing
I can never resist the call

pre-chorus

chorus

(bridge)
I love the rain, I love the storm,
I love the race, I love the speed
Addicted to life, no fear of fall
Surf on the waves, no sight of shore

chorus

Excellent drum programming & love the synth programming as well. Cool melodics and basslines, but above all, lyrics and awesome vocal delivery! Lyrics, the breaks & drums and high-pitched voices on "Trust" speak to me a lot! Yves Schelpe (Psy'Aviah)
