The good news about birds: a song

After I shared my last post about the chorus of birds I was tuning into, and how the habit tends to realign my perspective to reality …

I thought it would be fun to record a song for you.

I wrote this song 17 years ago, in college, and played it at many-an-open mic night/Starbucks performance, but since then, I just play my songs at home.

‘Birds’ are a theme that popped up a lot in my songwriting in my early twenties, and it’s been cropping up again lately in my current projects.

Are you, too, comforted by the sound of the birds’ songs? I think they are very wise. And as I said in my last post, I love pondering what the “lyrics” may really be.

This song is an extension of that wondering … I hope you enjoy it!

(When my son ran through the room I almost stopped the recording. But I’m glad I didn’t! Given what the song is really about, his timing could not have been more perfect. And if you’d like to read the lyrics, they are in the description box on YouTube.)
