about

A “song that speaks volumes, such a joy to listen to” BBC Radio Bristol

Little Bird, Rainy Day Woman’s debut single with Pear O’ Legs records, is a lonely, searching song about migrating birds and feeling like the tide has left you somewhere you don’t want to be.

Little Bird on my washing line // Sing a song for that girl of mine. Written on a wet and woolly cliff walk in January 2020, Hannah was imagining a woman who, having fled somewhere unsafe - and after a journey of flimsy boats, violence and unspeakable loss - is now adjusting to a new life in a strange place.

Little Bird draws on music from the transatlantic folk canon and the American songbook and storytelling traditions. Andrew Marlin’s Witching Hour and Fable & Fire were on hard rotation around the recording session, and the duo hoped to capture something of their intuition and sense of movement. This allowed the duo to flex new musical muscles, whilst also leaning back into the familiar influences of Bob Dylan and Gillian Welch.

lyrics

Little Bird
Oh my weary soul
Can’t find no place to go
And I’ve travelled on the raging sea
10 thousand pounds they asked of me

And at the whims of the men in the tall tall seats
Where they’ve cleared all the trees
My fate there lies in the hands of greed
While in my arms she sleeps

And now on my mountainside
Of a land so strange and quiet
Little bird on my washing line
Sing a song for that girl of mine

And I see her clear as day
When you chatter to me
Little children lining quiet
On the shore or school yard

And one day I’ll swim out
In the vast blue ocean
My time will have come
And she’ll take me with the setting sun
