A Little Bird iv
Starting with sparse, haunting prepared piano, muted notes, felt hammers, subtle scraping, close echo acoustics from nearby trees, Glockenspiel and Xylophone duetting in the Choruses and Bridge. A Heartbeat running through end of verse 1. Vocals Female Contralto, but ethereal. Male Bass, smoky, gravelly, Call and response in verses, slightly dissonant together in Chorus. Fragments drift in Grave tempo, lingering in silence, As it accelerates, layers build: rustling objects on the strings, distant stone textures, aromatic nuances crafted with mallets and soft percussion, The piano's timbre sharpens as tempo shifts to Adagio, then Andante con brio—brighter harmonics, scattered rhythmic pulses, Suddenly, the pace surges to Allegro and Presto, with frenetic prepared piano runs, percussive taps, creaks, and enveloping psychological tension, enveloping the listener in an immersive, multi-sensory soundscape.

Lyrics
[A Heartbeat running through end of verse 1]
[A minor, Tender, Plaintive, Pious]
Today a little bird told me
That there is something to see
Not only up in the sky
But a person far away.
[Verse 1]
[G Major, Serious, Magnificent, Fantasy]
I see Venus and Jupiter from the park
Shining so brightly after dark
But what is that pull that I feel?
I’m wondering if it is real
Is it something that I can do?
Hopefully a song will find you
When you least expect
Much better, than a text
[Verse 2]
[E minor, Effeminate, Amorous, Restless]
I’m hoping, a grin will appear
Rather than, that look of fear
Softly, quietly, floating carefully,
I hope this warmth, reveals itself gently.
[Outro]
[C Major, Innocently Happy]
Did you hear that call tonight?
Somewhere just beyond the light
A Twit… a Twoo…
One reaching out, the other answering too.
