The Blackpoll Warbler Song (Little Bitty Bird)
by @jeffjweir
Liner Notes
So, I was reading about this cool little bird, the Blackpoll Warbler, that weighs 12 grams and migrates non-stop about 1500 miles, from Vermont to Puerto Rico, and must flap its wings roughly 3 million times to get there. Well, damn, it deserves a song. And it needed to be about folks tending to underestimate and discount things/folks because of their size, and the fact that they’re losing out if they do.
Lyrics
I’m just a little bitty bird in a big ol’ tree But I sing the sweetest melody You can hear it all the way to ecstasy I’m a little bitty bird in a big ol’ tree
I’m flyin south to my destination down the line I’ve gotta flap my wings 3 million times I hope you give me a chance before you discount me Little bitty bird, big ol’ tree
Think twice Before underestimating things cuz of their size You might just be missing the time of your life
I’m just a little bitty bird in a big ol’ tree And I’m about to let you have your way with me Just close your eyes and let it be Little bitty bird, big ol’ Little bitty bird, big ol’ Little bitty bird Big ol’ tree

This is so sweet! It's got this chill lowkey funk vibe to it that fit's your voice well. I like the bassline.

This has a sweet simplicity to it that is captivating. And a feel like I learned something at the same time. Edu-tainment! The melody here will probably be stuck in my head for a while. Very strong!
