about

A loud, joyful love letter to my daughters.

lyrics

Little Birds, let’s practice singing loud –
come on let’s go explore a million things

But take care to take it all in stride
I’ll never hold you back from taking off – 4just know that I will catch you if you fall

But trust me, you’ve got this – you’ll fly high

The first time I saw you felt like a dream
I sang “she is beautiful” as you fell asleep
Every cell in my body was trembling –

the world faded, you were the only things
I blinked and you started growing up
I’m trying my best to comprehend this stuff
So curious, so full of life – it blows my mind

How could this all go by so quickly –

I need to take in everything and

Pay attention to these moments and cement them in my brain

SO – love yourself as hard as you can
and don’t take on any more than you can stand
It’s not the falling but the getting up
that makes you who you are
(and if you’re) learning, you’re not failing –

follow through and you will see

That you don’t need a prince to save you –
you’ve got everything you need

‘cause this world won’t do you any favors –
just remember what you learned about

How everything’s connected

and make every second count (make every second count)

I know there’s not much time to go before you can

fly off on your own, so you just

call if you’re lost and you’ll find me –
you’ll never have to go alone

And I, I will always be there – cross my heart and hope to die

I will always be there – and I know that you’ll fly high

cross my heart, cross my heart, and you’ll fly high

about

a Tiger made of Lightning Columbus, Ohio

Hey. We make loud songs. We went viral on TikTok once.

Thanks for listening.

We like lots of music, but most of our songs are inspired by emo and post-hardcore songs from the myspace era.

Do something good for yourself today, and then help a friend do something good for them. ... more
