about

My new single ‘Birdsong’. This track was made entirely by myself using my acoustic guitar, an 80s synth and a looped drum track that I found online. It is slow and melancholic at first but becomes heavier and upbeat at the chorus. I recommend listening through to the end as the song gradually crescendos at the final chorus. Any musician knows this but it is amazing how songs develop during the writing (and recording) process. This song was originally gonna be a country, fingerstyle ballad but I’m glad I changed it to this more melancholic dream folk sound. It is about the death of a loved one and how they are imagined to be reincarnated as a bird. Kinda cheesy but oh well haha XD. I also made a music video for this which is available on my YouTube channel (link on my profile). I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

lyrics

The winter’s long, the winter is so long
Three dark years since he was taken
And now my water is poison
And now my lifeblood is frozen

And though I’ve been sorely forsaken
Trapped, tormented and imprisoned
I like to think he has risen
To eternal chorus high in the Heavens, above

He sings along to birdsong
He sings along to birdsong
He sings along to birdsong
He sings along to birdsong

When all else here is long dead and gone
I know we will not be forgotten
The birds, the birds, the birds, the Holy ones
The birds, the birds, the birds live on and on, and on

He sings along to birdsong
He sings along to birdsong
He sings along to birdsong
He sings along to birdsong

He sings along to birdsong
He sings along to birdsong
He sings along to birdsong
He sings along to birdsong
