Story Behind the Song
If We Were Birds spins a fanciful tale of love. The lyricist-as-lover declares to the beloved, “If I was a songbird like a Tui or Jay, I’d fly to your house and serenade you all day.” Night birds eat threatening vermin, sea birds give gifts, sky birds “like a falcon or hawk/watch over you daily/wherever you walk.” Even “pest birds like a Gull or Magpie” get their beloved’s attention. Listen, and thrill to the love behind “I’d make the best nest and mate for life with you” in the song If We Were Birds.
