BIRDSONG, BIRDMAN

In the early morning half-light
He leans into the breeze
He has all the time in the world
Patiently waiting, for your song
Your song of the fields
Your song of the dawn
Your song of the stars
Sing on....

Birdman, Birdsong
Birdsong, Birdman

You, the corncrakel
You, the cuckoo
You, the starling
You, the skylarc
You, the songthrush
You, the yellow wagtail
You, the heron
You, the swan
You, the robin

Birdsong, Birdman
Birdsong, Birdman

In the dark before the sunrise
He leans into the breeze
Birdsong, Birdman
Birdsong, Birdman

» For Seán Ronayne «
Ornithologist, wildlife sound-recordist, author and environmental activist

BIRDSONG, BIRDMAN is the first song from the new record A SECOND WIND.

LUKA BLOOM: "In 2024 I saw Seán Ronayne on television. It was a documentary called Birdsong.
I was so taken by this great Corkman, and his love of birds, and his work to record them.
This is a song in his honour."
