Free Bird! (Never Used)
Skirmish: Free Bird (@roblyon5150)Liner Notes
#freebird #improv #omnichord #skirmish
This is the dumbest song I’ve ever written and I love it (yes I say that once a week, so what 😂)
And yes this is a true story, there actually is a hawk in the tree next to me squawking at all the lady hawks. He kept interrupting my last skirmish 😄
Edited to add: here’s a video I took of him! https://drive.google.com/file/d/17HIsB6c8wbjA1Rylndbo-quKZRHYwKqK/view?usp=drivesdk
Lyrics
G D Em C
Does anyone out there need a free bird? There’s one in this tree next to me He’s been squawking and trying to work on his twerk Getting all the girl birds to come and see his thing
It’s almost Valentine’s Day And I’m sure that’s why he’s trying to say: “Hey come my way, all the pretty little girl birds, Come and see what you’re working with with me.”
Come and get this free bird away Come and take this free bird away
I think he’s a hawk He’s got feathers that have bands across the sides Like barrel sides (?) I don’t know what kind of hawk he is But he’s trying to squawk my ears off Take him away!
And I don’t know how to trap a bird I think you need a bigger bird That’s what they used in Avatar And maybe if you get a big enough hawk He can come and take this one away from me.
Get Torok Maktah, or whatever that guy’s name was And you could come take this free bird away from here I guess I could look it up, but it’s whatever they call the big bird guy in Avatar Come take this bird away from here! He’s squawking too loud for me to sing!
There’s a free bird in my backyard Free bird, he’s free of charge There’s a free bird here in my backyard Come and take him away Take him home today
There’s a free bird here for you!

Bahahaha this is great! It's reminding me of a particular Monty Python sketch. Some delightful silliness :D
I'm definitely screaming out for this song at the next live show! I needed this laugh! Thank you.
This is a delightful tune and fun lyric! I love watching birds in the yard! I love how you have developed this bird’s quirky character! Fun and original take on the prompt!
I'm amused right from choosing that sense of "free", but the characterization of the maybe-hawk is pretty funny, too.
“Trying to work on his twerk getting all the girl birds to come and see his thing “😂😂😂
Das ist wirklich lustig! Danke für den Song
