This was a 1 take improvisation with two friends a few Spring seasons ago. It was enhanced later with Joakim and Chris doing an overdub or two each...

It was used as a soundtrack for a video of robins we watched hatch and fly off into the world. This Spring I watched a flock of robins feeding when the snow began to thaw... It occurred to me that it was the same birds we had watched make their maiden flights couple of years ago.
