Brian, a non-musician by his own admission. occasionally picks up an instrument, and gets something.
He did so a few weeks ago with this, played on the virtual double-bass on iPad's GarageBand app. I heard him playing this, and whispering in the pauses, and thought, "I'm recording this, before it's forgotten." In addition I banged and tapped some things.
The voice at the end is a sample of a friend's young son.

This song came together in the last half hour, oddly enough. wanted to make an instrumental, then this happened out of the blue. picture was found on google, was painted by Sandra Merwin. whoever she is, i dig her painting.
 Lyrics:
Fly far while you can, little bird, the sun is catching up. Im going to the land of milk and honey, going to fill my up. Well i heard theres a blackbird around, hes been moanin at the moon; every single night, and i have too, but were both doing it alone. Go on little bird, lead the way, cause the river Eurphrates is gone and dry. I know youre going somewhere tonight. Fly far and free, little bird, the daylight's quickly fleeting. Fly your way around the Earth, while your heart's still beating. It'll be the last chance you get, 'fore another one comes along, w/ unforgettable eyes and clumsy smiles to spare. to give you the world and then send the bill when you get there. she knows you wont leave w/out your all to give. so lead on, little blackbird, back to your plan b. weve all got sacred things in the place known by that name. so much warmer than a womans heart in heat. maybe a cold night of dirt is all it takes to be free. Let her try it out for once, maybe she wont be so easily mean.
