“Little Phoenix Baby” by Enola Fall - A Song Feature


     Ingeniously, “Little Phoenix Baby” has a brief, slightly dark segment that divides two easily distinguishable but equally inviting energetic segments. For much of the single from Enola Fall, the instruments and vocal take an egalitarian approach, working toward the common goal of promoting bustle. Even when the vocals rest (1:30) and the guitar steps forward, there is a unity of purpose. But at 3:09, the brief divider signals a change. The final segment is again highly energetic, but the vocals turn to a chant mode and the guitar declares its independence.

            Enola Fall is from Hobart, Tasmania, but they have also recorded and performed in Los Angeles, California. The members are Joe Nuttall (vocals, guitar, piano) and Mark Woodward (bass, vocals, woodwinds).

Lyrics of Little Phoenix Baby” by Enola Fall
Never was a stone
Feel I'm coming home
With no reason to mourn
I could be there by the dawn

And it never was easy
Or likely
Now you see me and now you don't
And you build your house to ride it out in
Until you won't

Every time it comes back
Takes a little more
Every time it comes back
Takes a little more

We are just birds
Birds that dream of the sky
We are out past the city now
And the lights have all gone by

With time repeating
Can't you see it?
I know you do
And everyone with burns still feels it
And I do too

Every time it comes back
Takes a little more
Every time it comes back
Takes a little more
Takes a little more

I think we're losing it [Repeating]
I think I'm caving in [Once]
[Repeating]
