And this week's new song (and the final color from Colors & Covers) is...
There's a line in this song about being taken by surprise, and "Redwing Blackbird" (the song itself) took me by surprise. I had envisioned a different direction for this one, but it changed up on me. Instead of being a bit of a downer, it grew into something a little sweeter. For it's about being swept up into a beautiful moment--maybe that moment is something you've seen a thousand times but has never ceased to... take you by surprise. The kind of moment that causes you to hold your breath, trying to slow the sand in the hourglass. Trying to live in that beauty a little longer.
This is the sixteenth song on the album and the final song introduction for awhile. (Because I need to go write some more. :) )
So in case I don't have a chance to say it later, I wish you all a very merry Christmas.
Thank you for sticking with me through another year of stories and songs. For sharing your stories, your smiles and tears, your heart... with me.
Thank you for being my redwing blackbirds...
All the love,
Brittany Jean
