about

Songbird is an ode to the simple joy of writing a song.

Recorded live - just three humans singing and playing music together in a room in Kingswood, South Australia.

It will feature on my upcoming full-length album Rescue Dogs, to be released 1 June 2022.

lyrics

Sitting waiting for my songbird
I just wanna hear that song
Sitting waiting for my songbird
I'll wait here all night long

And it goes doo doo doo do do do doooo dooo

Sitting waiting for my songbird
I pick up this rusty guitar
And I'll sing to you my songbird
No matter how far away you are

And it goes doo doo doo do do do doooo dooo
