Silver stars still visible through the morning long after you should've gone to bed. The sounds, loves, & drinks of last night still flowing through your heart, twinkling in your eyes. You sit staring out the window, into the softened clouds, thinking...nothing much at all really. But in that nothing much there's everything. A bluebird strikes up a song you've heard a girl group do before, do better, the last sips of tepid tea rush golden past your lips as you push in your seat, draw the blinds, and prepare to reenter the world of your dreams.
The first H Bird single - "Pink Lights & Champagne"/'Dear Dead Days" - available as a FREE DOWNLOAD from Dogbox Records.

So when will there be an ep, album, etc. for me to buy? I've got money in my pocket that I want to give to you in exchange for these and more lovely songs. I feel guilty. You've provided me something (charming songs) for nothing. Plus I want a tangible product to hold and play on my 1994 boombox. Hook a brother up!
good guess. i was refering to the one kiss can lead to another set. it is great! if i ever start wearing hats it conveniently doubles as a hat-box so you can't go wrong. so i like your music. i also like that 2 of your 4 playlist songs are about drinking alcohol. i like alcohol too...imagine that. good luck to you. i'm looking forward to an album. and perhaps a gig in atlanta, georgia.
I come back to your page for 'Pink Lights And Cha'. It's like having Sandie Shaw in my parlour with Herb Alpert passing me a cup of tea. Alison Moyet made the cake.
Excellent.
Glad you got excited. (Ditched 'Dead Romantic" from the page because no-one seemed to like it.)
