about

Words & Music by O'Hooley & Tidow

The first song Belinda wrote after Flynn was born, she wrote it with him fast asleep on her in his sling

lyrics

Two glorious days
Sun-dried grassy paths
Birdsong, a thrush
Returns to familiar perch
The tree I can see from my window
Complicated cadences sung easily

All this winged to me
Most days, perched up that tree
More familiar than family
For in that space, I am safe
Branches hold me more frequently than her

I don’t sing for others yet
Though the caws and cries
Unsanitised
Claw at the carrion trapped inside
Working its way through my middle age
The song thrush calls
