    Combining beautiful acoustic guitars, lush harmonies, rich string arrangements, quirky instruments and subtle electronic tweaks, the music of Barnaby Bright has been featured on television shows such as ER, Days of Our Lives, and PBS Roadtrip Nation. They were the grand prize winners at the prestigious New York Song Circle Contest last year.

    There is a transcendent thread in their lyrics, melodies and progressions that has an intangible but visceral timelessness and truth. The world has called and Barnaby Bright has answered. Their unique brand of "lush, chamber indie-folk" is a warm and welcome wind of change.


    "Rebecca’s smooth, melodic vocals are reminiscent of Karen Carpenter or Shelby Flint...and Nathan’s incorporation of his jazz background into Garfunkel-y acoustic compositions bring diverse styles together to the folk in the road: a marriage of minds and hands and music."
    -The Deli Magazine

    "Sounds like: that special place somewhere between the sleek adult pop of The Weepies and the more intimate harmonied splendor of The Civil Wars...classically-trained vocalist Becky has an effortless, gorgeous tone while multi-instrumentalist Nathan adds harmony and a virtual kit bag of backing sound."
    - Direct Current Music

    Written by "Nathan and Becky Bliss." Except Yellow Moon and February written by "Becky and Nathan Bliss.

about

"Girl in a Cage" is a perfect example of Barnaby Bright's unique way of blending classical and roots music with arena rock flair...chamber/folk at its finest.

lyrics

Girl in a Cage
by Nathan Bliss

The girl in the cage bent the bars and left the stage
The crowd demanded more
Hear the feet stomp the floor
Cries of ‘bravo!’ and ‘encore!’
No one heard her say

Over me only sky, and the night is rising
By the way you were right, this is just like flying.

The crowd in a rage left their seats and rushed the stage
To put the bars back right
But the girl kept out of site and then slipped into the night
Wishing she could say

Over me only sky, and the night is rising
By the way you were right, this is just like flying

You will see her again
In a flash you will know
You will see...
