A Little Bird v
Starting with sparse, haunting prepared piano, muted notes, felt hammers, subtle scraping, close echo acoustics from nearby trees, Marimba and Xylophone duetting in the Choruses and Bridge. A Heartbeat running through to the end of verse 1. Vocals Female Contralto, but ethereal, controlled. 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 brushed 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 , [a tweet]
that there is something to see ,
not only up in the sky ,
but a person far away. [ooh, kay... ]
[Verse 1]
[G Major, Serious, Magnificent, Fantasy]
I see Venus and Jupiter from the park ,
shining so brightly, right 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 in the night?
Somewhere, just beyond the light. (who...? )
A Ter-wit… a Ter-woo…
One reaching out, the other answering too. (for you... )
[Ending at 3:28]
