Confetti

Confetti is an album that many seen as a step in the wrong direction for Australian band Little Birdy. I however see it not as their best album personally but a completely different direction for the band. The album is almost bordering on country with alternative indie rock. I am not a fan of country music besides the odd artist like Dixie Chicks or Johnny Cash. But Little Birdy with their third album Confetti deliver for me what is probably their most personal album to date.

I have loved Little Birdy ever since their first EP. I remember seeing them in a little pub basement when they were on the verge of releasing their first album BigBigLove. This for me was my start of adoration for the band. I have enjoyed every album they have released and like I said while it's not their best album it's certainly their most personal and Katy Steele delivers some of her best work.

For me not many female artists can make album after album of songs that are hinted at the darker side of love or even heartbreak and break ups. But Katy Steele's voice and lyrics have gotten me through some tough times and relationships just because a lot of her lyrics are relate able when it comes to matters of the heart. I will include two set of lyrics and they are both for the opening and closing songs of the album and also my favorite songs of Confetti.


BROTHER

My brother he taught me how to fly

My papa he taught me how to cry

Wait for me
Wait for me to show you
Wait for me
Wait for me to show you

My mama she touched me down my soul
And I feel it
I feel it most

So show me your soul and I'll show you mine
So show me your soul and I'll show you mine

Woop!

So who's gonna love you now baby?
Who's gonna love you now baby?
When you're gonna fight in that war at sea
Get on that ship and sail back to me

So who's gonna love you now baby?
Who's gonna love you now baby?
When you're gonna fight in that war at sea
Get on that ship and sail back to me

So who's gonna love you now baby?
Who's gonna love you now baby?
When you're gonna fight in that war at sea
Get on that ship and sail back to me
Get on that ship and sail back to me


CONFETTI

Someone will take you whole and you'll see that it is right
Someone will take you whole and you'll see that it is right

Cause my heart isn't confetti
My heart isn't confetti

I haven't gone very far, oh no
The road is long enough for two

Cause my heart isn't confetti
My heart isn't confetti

Oh if I lose this time, oh no
I'll wake and I'll hide in the dark, for two
But basically why, basically, I wanna taste this
