This week, I have a very rough piano/vocal demo, as well as the instrumental backing track for "O Hummingbird." They are both currently available on soundcloud.
I posted the piano/vocal demo though it makes me cringe, but I'm posting it anyway as a deliberate act of "accepting things as they are."
In this song we feel the intense flapping of a hummingbird's wings as a metaphor for wanderlust. The hummingbird is the spirit of freedom. She flies where she wills and chooses not land. Underneath it all, she longs for a place to belong... to just be,
O Hummingbird
o my heat wants to hover
wants to belong in one place
but there's so much life to discover
and so much open space
I wanna fill me in
complete my cravings
there's something down deep
inside of me that needs saving
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
flutter away
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
don't mutter if you've got something to say
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
gimme a taste
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
gimme a drop of sweet nectar today
o hummingbird
o hummingbird
have you heard the song of us
o hummingbird
o, there's a tune that I hear
that needs a refrain
my eardrums pound a constant rhythm
like rail-tracks to a train
I wanna ride it out
see where we go from here
we're still seeking something cryptic
that needs to be made clear
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
flutter away
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
don't mutter if you've got something to say
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
give me a taste
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
gimme a drop of sweet nectar today
o hummingbird
o hummingbird
have you heard the song of us
o hummingbird
I believe in magic
when you put it in context
we make miracles happen
in our bodies and in our beds
trust me
touch me
and see where we go next
we are truly blessed
yes
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
flutter away
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
don't mutter if you've got something to say
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
give me a taste
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
gimme a drop of sweet nectar today
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
flutter away
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
don't mutter if you've got something to say
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
give me a taste
hummingbird
o, hummingbird
gimme a drop of sweet nectar today
o hummingbird
o hummingbird
have you heard the song of us
o hummingbird
o hummingbird
o hummingbird, hummingbird, hummingbird
have you heard the song of us
o hummingbird
