about

The evergreen and the little bird fulfill each other's deepest needs in life.
The evergreen is a symbol of security and peace, and the bird is a symbol of excitement and adventure.
Both crave what the other have to offer, so when they unite, the bird finally attains the nurturing, stable home she has always wanted, and the evergreen finds the adventure and novelty he has always desired.

This song came together rather quickly. Normally during my song writing process I try out several melodies, chord progressions, rhythms, and words to try to find the perfect combination. In both of these mini-songs, the guitar tracks were improvised and I built the melodies on them with ease. The first melody that came to me stuck out immediately such that I decided I would not need to try out any other.

I asked my best friend Quinn for insight because I had no idea what kind of character to give this tree. With his words regarding the stationary existence of trees and their possible desire to know the world, I knew exactly what this tree would have to say.

lyrics

I see a little bird,
her vibrant spark has me allured
oh she’s a wanderer,
I wonder what adventures lurk
She wants to settle here,
among my branches, I’ve observed
I’ll offer her a home,
and she will sing me songs I haven’t heard
