    Official source: "The video for Little Bird was shot with Lisa Hannigan in her mum’s bathtub. We sped up the music x4.5 (a little over a minute), shooting at 60 frames per second and then slowed it down again in the edit. Lisa was able to mime the tune at a ridiculously fast pace which was quite impressive!!"

    Little Bird is the most powerful music video I have ever seen. I keep finding tears streaming down this old face, not of joy or sorrow, but of the unexpected revelation of profound observations. Writing about Lisa's songs is like painting with a hammer. We hear about the importance of emotional intelligence. This is emotional genius, wizardry actually. She has bottled St. Elmo's Fire and I am drunk.

    Your heart sings like a kettle
    And your words, they boil away like steam
    And a lie burns long while the truth bites quick
    A heart is built for both it seems
    You are lonely as a church
    Despite the queuing out your door
    I am empty as a promise, no more
    When the time comes
    And rights have been read
    I think of you often
    But for once I meant what I said
    I was salted by your hunger
    Now you've gone and lost your appetite
    And a little bird is every bit as handy in a fight
    I am lonely as a memory
    Despite the gathering 'round the fire
    Aren't you every bird on every wire?
    When the time comes
    And rights have been read
    I think on you often
    But for once I meant what I said
    Here I stay, I, I lay me down
    In a house by the Hill
    I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill
    Here I stay, I, I lay me down
    In a house by the Hill
    I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill

    It's so sad when I see how many plays this video has, compared to commercial artists's videos which get the attention of most of the people, or at least the young generation, in which we can hardly find good content, no matter if you look for it whether in lyrics or music. I strongly believe THIS is the music that should be known for everybody; it would be awesome if we could just ask to anybody if they know X song of Lisa Hannigan or if we could hear Damien's music as background music in elevators or stores.

    This video matches the incredible beauty of the song and of Ms Hannigan, herself. Natural, elegant, dreamlike, incredible. Her voice is exquisitely pure. I've watched music videos since the dawn of MTV, and I have to say this is one of the most beautiful offerings ever produced. Great job!

    'your heart sings like a kettle
