Over een Canadese singer songwriter van klasse, little birdie. Zij heeft geen huis, maar is altijd op toernee om haar liedjes te laten horen.
Ik ben een singer-songwriter en schrijf mijn eigen Nederlandstalige luisterliedjes, vaak over relaties, soms over andere thema's.
Hallo!
Ik ben een singer-songwriter die zelf Nederlandse liedjes maakt. Soms met een boodschap, soms ook niet. Af en toe autobiografisch, andere keren niet. Maar (volgens mij) wel altijd interessant om te beluisteren.
Story behind the song
Ik heb Orit Shimoni, oftewel little birdie, mogen ontmoeten en genoten van haar liedjes en haar persoon. Zij heeft al haar zekerheden achter zich gelaten en puur voor de muziek gekozen. Bijzonder genoeg om een liedje aan te wijden.
Lyrics
Tiny little birdie

Key:C
C F G C F G C/
C C F
On her way from place to place on a tour
C
without an end.
C C F
Singing her own guitarsongs, alone or with a
C
band.
G G F
She left her home and security, the music was
C
her choice.
F C G
Has her backpack and her notebook, her guitar
C C C/
and her voice.
C C F
A girl about five-fifty high, with on her back
C
her life.
C C F
Her home nowhere and everywhere, singing with a
C
drive.
G G F
She can survive with little money, who can say
C
the same.
F C G
Response is what she hopes on, no luxury and
C C C/
fame.
C C F
/ Like a precious little birdie, she sings and
C
floats away.
C C F
/Landing where its possible, living day by
C
day.
G G F C
/Always going on, as a modern troubadour.
G G G
/Singing her own songs, so lovely and so
C C C/
pure.
C C F C
From open mike to festival, from park into café.
C C F C
In Quebec, Berlin or Rotterdam, so near or far away.
G G F C
The places and the people, that she meets and learns to know.

It gives her inspiration, it keeps her in a flow.
