Birds

It is Spring, again. A time when birds sing and people sing about birds—a lot. You'd be surprised. Here are a few of my favorite songs featuring birds as the content or as the composer. Author's note: I almost didn't include Iron and Wine in protest against the song's use in the movie Twilight, but I relented, because I love the song, and can smugly think of how I enjoyed it well before its days in the tween vampire romance realm.
