Description
"Little Bird" proves Steve Martin wrong that you can't play a sad song on the banjo. Haunting and melancholy, this banjo ballad blends vibraphone, kalimba, heavy strings, and vocals sung through a Leslie amp to create a moody vibe that would make even Steve Martin feel gloomy.
Lyrics
Unlock the cage of these ribs Let out what's within me now Un-sew the seams of my heart And let all the hurt fall out Sing, little bird Let all your words Reverberate here in my soul With each tiny seed You sow what I need You are carefully making me whole Suture the wound deep within And let it begin to mend Give me a needle and thread I'll sew back together the rend in my head Sing, little bird Let all your words Reverberate here in my soul With each tiny seed You sow what I need You are carefully making me whole I'll incline my ear to your lips You'll whisper a kiss I know that I need you I will open my tightly closed fists You'll give what I've missed I know that I need to sing Sing, little bird Let all your words Reverberate here in my soul With each tiny seed You sow what I need You are carefully making me whole
