Little Bird by Ella, Redler and Oldrottenhead.

[Oldrottenhead]

a week or so back i sent a version of this song to Paivi and Kari, the intention being for Kari to add guitar and Paivi to duet with me. the version i sent had no guitar but i sang Paivi's vocal parts as a guide track. after bouts of flu and various other examples of life's little obstacles, i got all the parts together for a final mix. I am really pleased as to how this one turned out.

come little bird sing to me softly
come little bird sing to me please
come little bird sit on my shoulder
come little bird and sing to me
paivi
why should i sit upon your shoulder
why should i even sing for you
why should i tell you all my secrets
why should i sing them just for you
james
come little bird i need your guidance
come little bird i need your help
come little bird and show me the way
help me find the words
paivi
you know the words are already there
they're floating round inside your head
you don't need me to find them
you know that they're already there.
then at 2.41 we sing the above lines in unison.

what an amazing way to start my day, this is stunning! Beautiful song & the production is so full and lush sounding. Really brilliant collaboration guys. Your voices meld so perfectly especially at them end when you both are singing, wow! I dig that subtle guitar also Kari, very Cure like.
Rock On!

[IanR]

Wow, what a lovely chilled out song.

Also great lyrics and your voices are both well suited to the song.

Very understated and effective.

Thanks,

Ian

It was fine to be part of this! I'm loving the final version of your well written wee song! Nice mix! The both of you did excellent job on vocals!

Sorry for the delay of sending tracks; "lost emails" and wrong tracks

What a great collab sounds just perfect, the vox just blend perfectly and terrific song too, well done to you all.

[Mike_S]

Really enjoyed this guys, Gentle but powerful. 2 lovely vocals sang with real feeling. the backing also is done with real taste... getting slight Cure vibe from guitar too. great work all!

[Blooby]

The production is so pro. The bass drum loosened my bowels (thank you, by the way). I'm loving the ethereal voices over the edgier drums. Those guitars are an exercise in restraint as well.  Bravo.

This will get quite a few spins over the next week.

Sublime, probably the best song you have written James, superbly arranged - I love the rhythms, the drums are smashing (bass line needs a little work), the understated guitars almost subliminal and devinely so, but the outstanding features of the song are the two vocals, super super super stuff! Clear and distinct and perfect in this context.

Congratulations on a fine collaboration folks. This is as good as it gets, wow! PiePod bound.

This is outstanding ,the song is brilliant,the vocals are angelic and give me goose bumps.
Probably the best song I've ever heard from you James.
Ella and Kari have added a magic and sprinkled the fairy dust on this.
Superb and going on my songcrafter private playlist.
The end part when you sing together is very clever.
Too braw to just tell yer maw,you've got to tell everyone
