about

"...a song gives me wings to carry on."
It started as a poem by Tomas Dahlberg in Örebro, Sweden. The words flew to David in rural Suffolk, UK, where they became song. The collaboration grew to include more wonderful musicians in both UK & Sweden, and late in the evening, a soaring bridge section from Roisin O'Hagan.
Whetever side of the North Sea you're on, this blackbird has a song for you.

lyrics

There´s a song to carry me
In the dead of the evening
A song
Gives me wings to carry on

A message to bring along
In the dead of the night now
a tune
And trust is word to come through

My blackbird in the tree
my blackbird sings solely to me
Telling tales
And memories
My blackbird in the tree
my blackbird sings solely for me
Never fails

World is turning and we are
a small revolution
From now till then
No conclusion

My blackbird in the tree
my blackbird sings solely to me
Telling tales
And memories
My blackbird in the tree
my blackbird sings solely for me
Never fails

And sure as the sunrise
the night sky hails the day as it’s dawning
a song for the free
