Good morning from the Birds

Third time using this remarkable and versatile backing track by Reinhold Tracks ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liZNEiWon-w
IF I WERE A WREN
If I were a bird
I’d just assume be a wren
Not the most remarkable bird
Not that I’ve ever been

CHORUS
If I were a wren
If I were a wren
A plain ol’ pudgy brown wren
If I were a wren
I’d flawlessly blend
Never fear fitting in again, no-no

I’d fly incognito
Incognito indeed
Livin’ in a free world
Where I could satisfy my needs
Yeah, if I were a wren
A friend would be a cinch to find
And if that sum-gun flies the coop
Be another mate in line

CHORUS
If I were a wren
If I were a wren
A plain ol’ pudgy brown wren, yeah-yeah-yeah
If I were a wren
I’d flawlessly blend
Never fear fitting in again, yeah-yeah

Do-do, Do-do
Do-do, Do-do

In a loop, I’d sing
I would sing the day through
Kill a wren in certain circles
Bad luck comes for you, yeah

If I were a wren
If I were a wren
A plain ol’ pudgy brown wren, yeah-yeah-yeah
If I were a wren
I’d flawlessly blend
Never fear
Never fear fitting in again.

IF I WERE A WREN

In Khimaira’s premiere episode, Nancy joins V to talk about names, birds, friendship, and the quiet ways we learn from each other. It’s a conversation about staying open — to language, to love, and to the surprising knowledge that comes from other people when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable. This episode is an offering, a shared moment of reflection on how we learn from those we love and what it means to listen with when seated in care.

This episode features original sound art by Yīxiāo, titled Bird Seeds, as well as field recordings of birds captured by Nancy and V

Gret Partridge calling in the late afternoon 

Grey Partridge

Hand carved with traditional tools from the bones of a storm-fallen Cherry tree foraged from my local woodlands. This neat little flute is tuned to the Key of C (to 432Hz A) and she sings with a woody yet remarkably crisp and trill timbre!
