“There’s a bluebird in my heart she sings of you
She shines a bleeding red and honest hue
She’d fly a million miles against the wind right back to you
But sing for you is all that she can do”
The second verse above came after recording as fairly simple rewrite, albeit a necessary one. Or at least it better have been being that it delayed the song nearly a year and a half. But why compromise? When you’ve got a song you know is good, it’s worth seeing through that it’s great.
A sort of sister song to Farewell, Goodbye; both siblings of a similar heartache. Where the older sibling ponders future possibilities, the road ahead and what it holds. Bluebird sits where the reality of the moment is. A static, and steady comprehension of sorrow.

Such a beautiful song.
Really nice poem! I clicked on this particular article because there is another poem with the same title by Charles Bukowski which I love. I would say th themes are slightly different but I do like this version. If you have not listened to Bluebird by Charles Bukowski, you should give it a go.
Bukowski’s poem is fantastic. Slightly different themes you’re right but there must have been a subconsious inspiration.
I absolutely love the guitar in this song, and your voice sounds so deep and raw. Just from the preview I already love this song. I will definitely be checking out your music!
Thank you very much! I’m trying to keep the new music rolling as consistently as possible.
