Oh Nightingale
Chamber pop with folk influences. Features a lead female vocal with a wide range, transitioning between a breathy chest voice and a clear, resonant falsetto. The arrangement is centered around a fingerpicked acoustic guitar playing a steady eighth-note pattern. A string section consisting of violins and cellos provides legato counter-melodies and harmonic swells. A subtle, dry kick drum enters to mark the downbeats in the second half, accompanied by a shaker. The tempo is 115 BPM in 4/4 time, in the key of G major. High-frequency clarity is maintained on the vocals with a medium-hall reverb tail. The bass frequencies are handled by the cello and the low E-string of the acoustic guitar.

Lyrics
Sing for me until I can sing alone.
This song was originally supposed to be published with V5.5, but I was so annoyed by the clicking sound I had to cover it to V5.

Verse
Oh nightingale, oh nightingale
Concealed by the cover of the night
Among the fronds, so shy, you hide
Your songs are feather light
You chant so sorrowfully
You chant of bleeding love
Emotions stab yet caress me
Like wings of candid dove
Prechorus
Your tunes are poetry of solitude
Your voice is dream and tragedy
Touch me lightly, show me the way
Please lead me through this fragile ballet
Chorus
Oh nightingale, oh nightingale
will you teach me how to si-i-i-i-ing?
will my voice soar to the sky,
and convey the emotions withi-i-i-i-in?
Oh nightingale, oh nightingale
please teach me your sweet tu-u-u-u-unes
will my voice soar to the sky,
up, up, up, straight to the moo-o-o-o-on?
Verse
Oh nightingale, oh nightingale
Your lonely chants inspire me so
Nobody listens, yet you don't cease
Your own repertoire under moon glow
You chant, like crystal, is frail
Yet full of hope and longing
Among the brambles, you call
Seeking for a sense of belonging
Prechorus
Your tunes are poetry of yearning
Your voice is a new North star
Sing to me more, show me how
Please lead me, and I will go far
Chorus
Oh nightingale, oh nightingale
will you teach me how to si-i-i-i-ing?
will my voice soar to the sky,
and convey the emotions withi-i-i-i-in?
Oh nightingale, oh nightingale
please teach me your sweet tu-u-u-u-unes
will my voice soar to the sky,
up, up, up, straight to the moo-o-o-o-on?
Bridge
Under a blanket of stars
Your tunes are pure, restless light
Throught the wind rustling leaves
My own voice can now take flight
Final chorus
Oh nightingale, oh nightingale
will you teach me how to si-i-i-i-ing?
will my voice soar to the sky,
and convey the emotions withi-i-i-i-in?
Oh nightingale, oh nightingale
please teach me your sweet tu-u-u-u-unes
will my voice soar to the sky,
up, up, up, straight to the moo-o-o-o-on?
