Owl and Me

by @elsahay 

1 week   folk banjo seattle

W2: Chromatic Tune

Liner Notes

Elsa Hay on Banjo and Voice
Cell Phone Recording
Chorus melody is chromatic but verse melody is not, does that count for the week 2 challenge?

Lyrics

I don’t have feathers or wings
I have too many things
Talons are not in my control
I’m on a payroll

Owl sitting on a branch, staring down at me
Still and silent in twilight, content to wait and see

I can’t rotate my head
I can barely get out of bed
Silent flight to capture pray
I’m as noisy as a Jay

Owl sitting on a branch, staring down at me
Still and silent in twilight, content to wait and see

I’m not as composed
I feel tired and hosed
Laying eggds in a nest
I'm looking for a rest

    Nice week 2 chromatic challenge on banjo! I love all of the non-owl things you aren’t (except for the eggs?) and all the silent watching owl on the branch overhead.
