Little Bird by david taro published on 2022-07-06T12:06:08Z This is my first song for this year's 50/90 songwriting challenge! (https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/) I've been thinking about little ones leaving the nest quite a lot recently. My kids are 10 and 7, so not imminent, but it still makes me feel a tiny bit sad (and a tiny bit relieved). I certainly know others with kids who are closer to that point, so this one's for them 🙂 When I'd finished my bits on the track, it felt like it was still missing a little something. So I sent it over to my man @nahlejmusic for some sweet percussive magic and, as always, he promptly delivered the goods. Thank you! LYRICS & MUSIC © David Taro Oh little bird standing on the edge Of your nest, will you fledge Are you ready for it yet? Oh little bird do your feathers feel the breeze In the leaves of the trees Will you spread your wings and see? Oh, little bird... Oh little bird getting stronger ever day It's okay, fly away You were never bound to stay Oh little bird, there’s a future yet to write Taking flight out of sight In the hazy morning light Oh little bird... Oh little bird, wherever you may go You must know, though you roam This will always be your home Though you roam This will always be your home Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by BRIXTON ROAD beautiful songwriting 2022-11-01T16:09:09Z Comment by betterlate Lovely song, has a vibe of Simon and Garfunkel for me.

There are probably squillions of others out there as well. Nice song, put together and delivered with a pleasing sound. 2022-08-15T19:31:26Z Comment by Molly Barnett Very sweet and true! My sons are 23 and 16. The younger graduating this year and a 2 year old grandson that I care for daily. So the cycle seems to have started over😊and very quickly. Cherish every moment! 😁😁 2022-07-29T16:03:52Z Comment by Peter Arvidson Sweetness embodied. 2022-07-13T01:45:30Z Comment by English Minor very touching sentiment. nice melody and strong delivery! 2022-07-11T02:05:09Z Comment by Davy Vance A sweet,plaintive song superbly delivered. 2022-07-09T09:42:53Z Comment by Jim Mcgill this is a fantastic song David....it only seems like the other day my son was taking his first steps, now he’s halfway through high school, and before i know it he too will “ leave the nest” to make his own way............great work man, and your vocals and harmonies are just spot on to my ears 👍 2022-07-09T09:33:15Z Comment by ChasinADream Nice 2022-07-07T02:44:29Z Comment by Nadine de Macedo Lovely song 🎵 2022-07-06T14:13:08Z
