I recently started having my Saturday morning coffee outside. I brew a cup and sit just outside our front door. I like to come out early before the neighborhood wakes up. Yes, it’s a little cooler in the morning, but I like the morning chill.
What I noticed the most are the birds. There is a huge assortment that fly from tree to tree. I learned the smallest ones have the loudest voices. I like the thought of that. They seem so happy to begin their day. Their joy easily rubs off on me. I should try sitting out here during the week. I may give that a try.
There are a lot of good bird songs. I’ve already added a few to the playlists:
Three Little Birds – Bob Marley
Songbird – Fleetwood Mac
Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream) – Icicle Works
Murder of One – Counting Crows
I know I’m trying hard not to repeat songs on the playlist. But as I sit outside, I’m thinking about the Counting Crows and August and Everything After. I’m glad they eventually recorded this song, so many years after they released their first album.
The debut album “August and Everything After” was released on September 14, 1993, and did not include the title track, which was famously left unfinished

It’s a nice vibe to finish my coffee to. I may get a second cup and listen again.
Hope you enjoy your weekend.

GenXer, great list. Another one is Elton John “High Flying Bird” with Bernie Taupin’s inscrutable lyrics
You wore a little cross of gold around your neck
I saw I as you flew between my reason
Early am with bird song is a great time for morning ☕️😎

You know a musician has made it huge when they can hire the London Symphony Orchestra to back them up! It works though. Doesn’t feel too indulgent. His really strong vocal carries it well. I wonder how much one session with all those pros costs?

Such a great reminder to sit and enjoy the little things as they are truly the best!
