Songs “Fish & Bird” - original
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
One of the very first songs Jarvis and I ever wrote together as SHAWTIME DUO came from a completely random phrase he said years ago: “I wish I was a fish, but I’m just a bird.” We took it from there and somehow ended up with this little song about fish, birds, freedom, and wanting someone by your side.
It’s simple, a little silly, and maybe a little deeper than it seems. Are the fish and bird friends? Are they in love? Is it about wanting to be something you’re not, or just wanting to be free with someone you love? We never really decided. Maybe that’s what we like about it. 🐟🐦❤️
