And I dropped down, and down -

And Finished knowing - then -

Song Review: Andrew Bird feat. Phoebe Bridgers - “I Felt a Funeral, In My Brain”
Sparse, acoustic instrumentation; an Emily Dickinson poem; and the voices of Andrew Bird and Phoebe Bridgers combine for “I Felt a Funeral, In My Brain.”
Bird and Bridgers sing alone and together over guitar, violin, cello and bass; music that occasionally fades to near silence - there’s just a faraway whistle - as the pair sing Dickinson’s haunting words:
I felt a funeral in my brain/and mourners to and fro/treading, treading till it seemed/the sense was breaking through/and when they all were seated/a service, like a drum/kept beating, beating till I thought/my mind was going numb
In a statement, Bird called the poem “the most vivid description of an inner world I’ve ever encountered.” But he’d not yet heard “I Felt a Funeral, In My Brain,” the song.

As all the heavens were a bell
And Being but an ear
And I, and silence, some strange race
Wrecked, solitary, here
And then a plank in reason broke
And I dropped down, and down
And hit a world at every plunge
And finished knowing, then
And finished knowing

31 Days of Literary Spookiness: Poetry Edition - October 5
Art by Louis M. Eilshemius
“I felt a Funeral, in my Brain” by Emily Dickinson
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain
EMILY DICKINSON
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb -
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space - began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here -
And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down -
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing - then -

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading – treading – till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through –
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum –
Kept beating – beating – till I thought
My mind was going numb –
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space – began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here.

i don’t have the energy at almost 1 a.m to write anything cohesive about this thought but the lines in “I felt a funeral in my brain” by emily dickenson “And then a Plank in Reason, broke,/And I dropped down, and down” and the line “I was tightrope walking in two-ton shoes” from “Mind Riot” by soundgarden give me a very similar picture and feeling in my mind. actually both pieces of art make me picture an actual brain and things happening there and are very good at describing the struggles of mental illness

Andrew Bird- "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain"
Confira @AndrewBird homenagear a autora Emily Dickinson no novo clipe da canção "Ifelt a Funeral, in my Brain" colaboração com Phoebe Bridgers.
Final do ano sempre é uma hora legal para os músicos e bandas lançarem aquele single que ficou fora do álbum, mas tem potencial. Após o lançamento do álbum Inside Problems neste ano, Andrew Bird junta forças com Phoebe Bridgers no single de fim de ano “I felt a Funeral, in my Brain”:
A canção tem um instrumental delicado, melancólico e triste que combina bem com as letras que relatam depressão.…
