Bill Callahan – Too Many Birds (Album Recording)
One of my favourite songs from the album. Thought I would share it with you all. Enjoy. Photo by Chris Taylor. www.prefixmag.com Too many birds in one tree Too many birds in one tree And the sky is full of black and screaming leaves The sky is full of black and screaming And one more bird Then one more bird And one last bird And another One last black bird without a place to land One last black bird without a place to be Turns around in hopes to find the place it last knew rest Oh black bird, over black rain burn This is not where you last knew rest You fly all night to sleep on stone The heartless rest that in the morn, we’ll be gone You fly all night to sleep on stone, to return to the tree with too many birds Too many birds Too many birds If… If you… If you could… If you could only… If you could only stop… If you could only stop your… If you could only stop your heart… If you could only stop your heart beat… If you could only stop your heart beat for… If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart… If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart beat.

I adore this song.
this album is number 2 in the best of 2009 albums in Express magazine (Turkey).
(1st is Vic Chesnutt’s At The Cut)
Nice voice, his voice remember me a best singer country, i dont remember his nam, he was “listen to the radio”
that’s a personal opinion, save it for your self
joanna newsom is obnoxious.
This is one of those songs. Brilliant. Co nsummate and yet no sense of being overworked , overprocessed.
beautiful song and beautiful voice!!
remember to Lambchop…
you are 1 in one million just like joanna newsom
an absolutely beautiful song on an astounding album. songwriting perfection
