I'm The Sky
Marianne Faithfull · Other Songs - Marianne Faithfull
'Cause the sky doesn't sing in my song in the wind.
I can dodge
Both your eyes with my smile
'Cause I'm singing my song.
It's love, it's mine,
It's yours, it's life,
It's free.
It's love, it's mine,
It's yours, it's life,
It's free.
Long ago
I was blinded, my mind couldn't see
The world's sorrow.
Every place that I went in the stillness
I left people alone.
It's love, it's mine,
It's yours, it's life,
It's free.
It's love, it's mine,
It's yours, it's life,
It's free.
Till one day
In the spring, in the springtime I saw a good day
And I heard as a child laughing wild
That I heard you can grow.
It's love, it's mine,
It's yours, it's life,
It's free.
It's love, it's mine,
It's yours, it's life,
It's free.
When you grow
In the springtime you'll sing loudly songs in your soul
In the air you can feel all the life
And the force you've been weary.
It's love, it's mine,
It's yours, it's life,
It's free.
It's love, it's mine,
It's yours, it's life,
It's free.
It's love, it's mine,
It's yours, it's life,
It's free.
I'm The Sky
Marianne Faithfull's 'I'm The Sky' stands as a quintessential example of her early 1960s pop sensibility, characterized by its melodic simplicity and intimate vocal delivery. Recorded during her formative years, the track exemplifies the British Invasion's blend of R&B influences and pop structures that defined the era. Faithfull's voice, often described as ethereal and vulnerable, anchors the composition, creating a sound that was both commercially accessible and deeply personal. While the song lacks the overt drama of her later rock explorations, it captures the youthful exuberance and romantic idealism prevalent in her early discography. The recording serves as a testament to her ability to deliver polished, emotive performances that resonated with audiences of the time, establishing a foundation for her subsequent evolution into a more complex and experimental artist.
