Lyrics
I’m watching from my window the curtain coming down
A blue as black as warning, a silence like a sound
That rattles at the cages that hold my heart and mind
That call my name to wonder, just what I hope to find
That bird so high above the fray, what should he mean
to me
His crooked song gone crazy in the swaying arms of trees
That wave to me like the hungry waiting for the tide
My tipping boat still hoping I might reach the other side
I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m on my way
Lord if you love me
Keep me I pray
A little bird is stretching out to the shimmering, shaking blue
Don’t know where I’m going
But I know what to do
I don’t know the hour that finds me in this room
Dust around my feet and still no sugar in my spoon
But I’ve only got the taste for something sweet as time
Not bottled on the table but still hanging on the vine
I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m on my way
Lord if you love me
Keep me I pray
A little bird is stretching out to the shimmering, shaking blue
Don’t know where I’m going
But I know what to do
Don’t know where I’m going
But I know what to do

I couldn't agree more. She is the real deal. What a great voice, and her instrumental skills are crazy-good!
I discovered Rhiannon Giddon’s music at a very sad time in my life, just after my mother and brother died and two friends committed suicide. I was heartbroken. Rhiannon’s music lifted my heart so much and made me cry with happiness and in sorrow. My tears flowed. My heart began to heal. Eternally grateful. A few years ago I saw her live and it was a beautiful experience. Much love and blessings to you always Rhiannon.

What can I say, I didn’t get the memo so just discovered her today June 1, 2024. It’s a good day and I am grateful for this life, this song, the artist and her crafts… and all of you ❤
My God, how can it be that I am just hearing this for the first time. No words.
I'm discovering Rhiannon Giddon's music now, and I'm in a great place in life. I'm not married and have no children, but I have my mother, my three younger brothers, one sister in law, a nephew, numerous Aunts, a few Uncles, and lots of Cousins on both sides of my family. I have a job that I enjoy, and I am very sociable with people. This music sounds different from what I usually listen to, but my musical tastes are getting more versatile the older I get. I am 45 born in 1979 and I have always liked different kinds and styles of music!
One of the most gifted, amazing and inspiring musicians and vocalists of our time! Thank you for sharing your gifts and keeping the rich history of your music alive, Rhiannon! 💙💙💙
I love this woman, her abilities are astounding! She sings to my soul.
My sister is musician and artist I'm a big fan of real musicians doing real things. My chocolate gumdrop every time she sings I get goosebumps, I'm a proud black man with beautiful 6 year old twin boys. I play music your music for them all the time they as well are in love with your musical presence and prowess. Please don't ever stop what you do and how you do. You are amazing.

Oh my God, your words hit me so beautifully....to tears. yep. Thank you for sharing that with us, Dominus! I totally agree with you (and I am an old white woman who grew up knowing better because my parents were all about All One in a time of deep Racism all around us). One Love.

Bro Dominus, you have an affecting writing style signalling a beautiful soul who can speak to his readers' hearts as if it were the grace of God, which is something special and singularly sensational. And despite some (minor) problems with syntax, I'd pay to read your prose regardless, which is an indication of how good your gift is. I'm a proud Black man as well, and hope in the near future to partake of your way with words. Fo' real. Good luck and God bless you and yours. (KFB 2.21.19)
One of the best voices of this generation. Thanks for your art. A fan from Brazil.

It's a pure joy to listen to Rhiannon Giddens, to hear her voice is like having liquid velvet poured into your ears.
I had the pleasure of mixing her and Francesco at Big Ears in Knoxville, TN this past weekend. I could not keep my goosebumps down while mixing their set. Absolutely one of the best musical experiences of my life!!!!!

I love her music. Her voice is pure honey. Raw talent!
Rhiannon is not just a talented and gifted musician, singer and song writer but a teacher of historical roots regarding ancient Appalachian music in America, she brings that history to live through this music, every American, especially African Americans need to learn from this amazing cultured woman, the minute she said she felt connected with the banjo without her having the knowledge she has now about it, it was no coincidence that at the time it was her ancient african deceased ancestors transmitting that spiritual connection to her, she is definitely a chosen pioneer by her african ancestors to convey their ancient soul in a modern inspiration of the american bluegrass banjo, this is why her talent is at another level, the gifted essence of her soul is majestically haunting through the ghostly guidance of her ancestors, you can feel it
good lord, we have been blessed
A unique talent, musician with a capital M, born to bring joy to others.
Wow - what a voice.....that's the real deal, right there.

I was gonna say "WOW this is nice"!
Powerful piece of music. That drum of Francesco's is the best accompanying percussive instrument I've heard in ages. Top stuff.
Wow! Rock R&B And Country joined back together by their common roots. Simply glorious.
My sister died a few months back of cancer. We were still praying, expecting for her healing when she died around 9:50 p.m. We immediately went into "raise the dead" mode, going at it with ferver. Heal the sick, raise the dead command.... After 10 or 15 minutes, my wife got a text from my ma 120 miles away. "I'm on my way." is all it said. 10-ish at night? Called ma, but no answer. She was in bed asleep. Didn't even know my sister had died. It took another half hour for the HOLY SPIRIT to get it through our heads that she was "on her way" to Heaven. She sent that text. Thx JESUS for the Word of Wisdom!!! PTL!! RANDY S.
This was the best thing I have heard today, good night.
This Lady is simply Phenomenal! You captured my heart from the first time I heard you in the Carolina Chocolate Drops!
Rhiannon introduced me to "Roots" music a few years ago and I fell in live with the music. Then I started playing Red Dead Redemption 2, and said wait a minute , I know who that is. Wonderful.
Mesmerizing. The music is, of course, awesome, but it's her voice that takes this to the next level.

And the frame drum accompaniment. (I'm a percussionist and love what FT did here, on a N. Africsn-style drum with a snare.)
TELL IT Homegirl!!!! You make me proud. Your music shoulda been featured in the PBS series, not just your words.
Sound Field brought me here, so amazing!!!
I’m so in love with her ❤️ She’s incredible
A musician of the first rank. Brilliantly talented.
Ms. Giddens, I have to say that our 2nd grade class did not want to miss hearing all of your beautiful music today. Thank you so much for sharing all your talents with all of us.
Thank you Plant Rock for playing Rhiannon Giddens.. sitting on my balcony in London, looking over the Thames, having a sundowner and the magical voice and chords of Rhiannon Giddens hits my soul for the first time. Awsome! I am a hooked fan!
Discovered Rhiannon Giddens in a Terry Gross "Fresh Air" interview on Juneteenth, 2020. Wow! What talent! Graduate of Oberlin. I am glad she did not waste her time singing opera, which was her area of study.
Just love this. Love this lady.
More great music from Rhiannon. Thank you!!
Beautiful.

That's where I first heard her too.
I love that steady, booming bass and drum line. Really hearkens back to the banjo's African roots!
As always a beautiful experience hearing your music. Thank you Rhiannon and thank you to all the very talented people that are part of these healing and uplifting sounds.
Such an awesome voice and a wonderful musician. I am pleased to hear that there is a new album on the way, and I look forward to seeing her play live again.

Rhiannon Giddens es una joya de lo más sublime de la música del siglo XXI. Es goce estético del alma, el pensamiento y el espíritu para imaginar un mundo mejor.
really love the whole lyrics especially the part of "I don't know where I am going but I know what to do".
Just now discovered this beautiful voice. Saw her on public television, and had to look her up. LOVE IT!! Looking forward to discovering more of her music!
This is perfection.

Beautiful
A fresh sound that I'm totally enjoying...keep 'em' coming !
Namaste! Wow!! Can she carry a tune right into your heart!!!! I knew a little about this history. But now I have better details and the sounds. I was surprised many years ago that black people had put together square dancing and music. I took a class or two in college and enjoyed it very much. Once I got to the history I enjoyed even more. And now, Rhiannon brings it all back! What an infinite joy!❣
You’re on fire, girl! What talent and depth!💚
Oh, I so love this. Wonderful.
I fall more and more in love with this beautiful amazingly talented woman and her ART the more I hear

Rhiannon your so beautiful, a magnificent voice and awesome on the fiddle and the banjo just magnify your beauty. Hotter-n-a- fracpump even though she just down to earth. I'd love to give her a whirl around a dance floor just once.
