Wallis Bird

Wallis Bird returns with her new Album ‘I CAN SEE YOUR HOUSE FROM HERE’.

To get the true measure of WALLIS BIRD’s new album, I CAN SEE YOUR HOUSE FROM HERE, one only need hear ‘And So Turns The Wheel’, the song with which it opens. Ushering us warmly inside with a gentle, celestial swell, the Irish singer-songwriter, based in Berlin since 2012, constructs a timeless folk ballad whose overarching message is one of love beyond life’s measure. Arising from solemn roots, it hears her confess, “My tears are for you/ I spend them with pride,” and what unfolds from this doleful whisper across six or more minutes is a patiently, proudly transformative anthem that confronts that most delicate of subjects: the sudden death of a best friend. “I thought we had more time,” Bird laments, declaring finally that “Life goes on/ But it was better with you”. They’re lines indicative of both the record’s sentiments and the harmony holding them together.
