Sparkbird has undoubtedly breathed new life into their own creation. This rendition is a testament to their growth as an artist, offering a profound and captivating musical journey that is bound to leave a lasting impression. So let yourself be swept away by the reimagined "I Am Not A Stranger Here" and revel in its tender beauty, for it is a masterpiece that radiates peace, heartfelt introspection, and the brilliance of artistic reinvention.

lyrics
I don’t know this town
But it’s your town
So it’s my town too
I don’t know that girl
But she knows you
So she’s my friend too
I don’t know my way
But I can count on you
To show it to me
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Do do do do do do do
Your mother seems to like me
And you tell me that it’s true
Your cousin makes me food
That I have only ever
Dreamed of trying
I can tell
That I could be so happy
Here with you forever
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Do do do do do do do do do
Your room is a cave
That offers shelter from the stormy weather
And beneath a pile of blankets
We can hide away together
We can hide away together
We can hide away together
We can hide away together
We can
When it’s time
For me to up and leave
There’s a part of me
I can’t make follow
All day long
I’m longing for you
And the tears are so hard to swallow
After knowing life with you
Life without you leaves me hollow
Oh oh oh
I don’t know my way
But I can count on you
To show it to me
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Well, I don’t know this road
But I can count on you
To lead me down it
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
But it’s your town
So it’s my town too
I don’t know that girl
But she knows you
So she’s my friend too
I don’t know my way
But I can count on you
To show it to me
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Do do do do do do do
Your mother seems to like me
And you tell me that it’s true
Your cousin makes me food
That I have only ever
Dreamed of trying
I can tell
That I could be so happy
Here with you forever
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Do do do do do do do do do
Your room is a cave
That offers shelter from the stormy weather
And beneath a pile of blankets
We can hide away together
We can hide away together
We can hide away together
We can hide away together
We can
When it’s time
For me to up and leave
There’s a part of me
I can’t make follow
All day long
I’m longing for you
And the tears are so hard to swallow
After knowing life with you
Life without you leaves me hollow
Oh oh oh
I don’t know my way
But I can count on you
To show it to me
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Well, I don’t know this road
But I can count on you
To lead me down it
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you

-
I listened to "Oh, Legs!" and "Harbor" and I was hooked. Cynthia Marie's music is whimsical, thoughtful, and surprising—the kind of music that always seems to be thanking the listener for listening.

WE CREATE OUR MAPS (2016)
by TGTGI played a show with TGTG in 2017 and their music and energy blew me away! I've been singing along at home and in the car ever since. :) I recommend "Mic Checkers" and "Taking Off My Mask".
