This song is definitely about an actual bird and not a metaphor for anyone I know.

This is another one I wrote a few years back when we were going through a (different) tough time. I always find as songs age I can see better what is temporary in them and what is enduring, so I enjoyed simplifying and universalizing the lyrics with new resonance.

In the spirit of the song I tried to keep the production simple. The vocals are exposed and unedited without any harmony. I used acoustic guitar and bass as well as the naked tone of my strat from the second verse on and a 60's surf style tone to create the "warble" that sings along with the choruses.

Special shout out to my friends at The Voice Lab Inc. who I've worked with the past 5 years and whose teaching has benefited me greatly. I gave them a lyrical Easter egg in the second verse.
