About Me

Silver stars still visible through the morning long after you should've gone to bed. The sounds, loves, & drinks of last night still flowing through your heart, twinkling in your eyes. You sit staring out the window, into the softened clouds, thinking...nothing much at all really. But in that nothing much there's everything. A bluebird strikes up a song you've heard a girl group do before, do better, the last sips of tepid tea rush golden past your lips as you push in your seat, draw the blinds, and prepare to reenter the world of your dreams.
The first H Bird single - "Pink Lights & Champagne"/'Dear Dead Days" - available as a FREE DOWNLOAD from Dogbox Records .
The "Winter Kiss" demo and "Allodynia" (Aug demo) are also available for free at Last FM . We will be putting some more stuff up here for free soon.
