Rescinded!!! Thought White Bird was group name. Sorry. @bantamlaker

No problem and thanks for the prompt review. I was afraid I might be put on double secret probation

Oh wow! I just saw this thread! Well, I won't bore you with a ton of videos but quite a few songs came to mind (in addition to the great ones already listed!):

1. I'm Like a Bird (Nelly Furtado)
2. Down Came a Black Bird (Lila McCann)
3. Howard the Duck...yeah!! Ok, so maybe this is from the movie (with the same name) but it reminds me of my childhood LOL
...ok so a real # 3
3. On Eagle's Wings (for all you Church folks out there)
4. Stray Birds (Rose Cousins)--I saw her tour with Mary Chapin Carpenter and it's such a great song. In fact, this one deserves posting

5. Songbird (Eva Cassidy's version of Fleetwood Mac's original). All you Love Actually fans will appreciate this one. What an amazing cover <3

No one-line lyric references either. And band.artist names don't count, either.

What's with all these rules?

Some Kasey Chambers.

Maybe someone could post "Bye, Bye Blackbird" by Joe Cocker.

Let me ask for rulings:

Up Where We Belong -- where the eagles fly, on the mountain high?

The Wind Beneath My Wings - this has to be ok; extended bird metaphor, right?

Deeper than the Holler - longer than the song of a whipperwhill? something about a Robin on a springtime window sill?


Song has to be about birds? Or bird reference being repeated?

No lyric references!! And no band/artist names!!

This guy was a star in the making until cancer knocked him down a few times. He's touring now.

There might have been a dove song earlier, not sure if it was this one. This is listed as Nanci Griffith but I'm pretty sure I'm hearing Lucinda Williams as well.

She's still going strong at age 102
