"Little Birds" lingers in the aftermath. A slow spiral of strings, whispers, and questions that won't stay buried. Are you justice or vengeance? Did you choose your path, or were you nudged along by voices you never quite noticed?

In the silence that follows, the smallest things start speaking. A word. A memory. A whisper in the rafters. Sometimes that is all it takes.

(Verse)
Step forward, come on in, we'll begin
Let the hall of mirrors show you just where you've been
It's like angels and demons taunt you from the sidelines
They're watching and waiting for you to decide

(Chorus)
Just why simple words and little birds
can whisper to you what to do
Just why simple words and little birds
can whisper to you what to do

(Verse)
Take a seat, wipe the blood from your brow
Did you ever regret what you did until now
Are you justice or vengeance, and who pulls your strings
Will you dance on your own, ask yourself all these things

(Chorus)
And why simple words and little birds
can whisper to you what to do
And why simple words and little birds
can whisper to you what to do

The Orchestra

Part of what makes gives us our unique sound is the blend of contemporary pop, dark lyrical themes and the orchestral elements that glue it all together, Little Birds is no exception.

A lush arrangement of strings, brass and woodwinds weave through the track, adding depth and emotion to the story being told. Let's take a look at how each contributed to the final sound.

Pizzicato - a plucked string technique
Stacattisimo - short, bouncing bow strokes
Legato - smooth, connected notes
The strings, the versatile backbone of a track, provide a rich tapestry of sound that ranges from hauntingly sparse to lush and full. In Little Birds they're strucked, plucked and bowed depending on context.
Staccato - short, sharp notes
The brass section, with its bold and powerful tones, adds a layer of intensity and power to the track. It punctuates key moments with rich, growling stabs, providing a sense of grandeur.
Runs - rapid sequences of notes
Staccato - short, sharp notes
The unsung heroes of an orchestra, the woodwinds, add a layer of complexity and nuance to any track. In Little Birds, they provide whimsical flourishes juxtaposed against a rhythmic bass.
Legato - smooth, connected notes
The choir provides a chordal layer of emotion to back up Gloom's vocals. Both lush and vibrant, the choir adds depth and thickness to the texture of the track's chorus.
