Artist/Band: Phish
Lyrics for Song: Birds Of A Feather
Lyrics for Album: Live Phish Vol. 6: 11/27/98, The Centrum, Worcester, Massachusetts [2001]



it's easy sometimes when you just coast along

but like it or not something always seems to go wrong

sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down

sometimes they will have you there 'cause they need someone around



perhaps you'll receive invitations for tea

perhaps you'll laugh and make them all smile

or maybe you'll join them 'cause it had to be

perhaps you'll forget you forgot for awhile



birds of a feather are flocking outside

like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance

of pulses and ringing and campfire chants

of ritual drumming although at first glance

you thought you could run but you won't take a chance



it's not an experience if they can't bring someone along

they hang on emotions they bottle inside

they peck at the ground

and strut out of stride


Birds Of A Feather

Phish's "Birds Of A Feather" is a standout track from their 2001 live album, recorded at The Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts. The song exemplifies the band's signature improvisational style, blending psychedelic rock with jazz influences and extended instrumental explorations. Known for its dynamic shifts and communal energy, the recording captures a moment where the group pushed their musical boundaries, creating a unique soundscape that became a staple of their live performances. The track reflects the collaborative spirit of Phish, where individual musicians weave together complex melodies and rhythmic structures to create a cohesive, evolving experience. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to engage audiences through both its musical intricacy and its emotional resonance.
