    I grew up loving Anne Murray’s version of Snowbird and never heard a version that I enjoyed much…. Until now. What an amazing singer and arrangement. This is how I enjoy music. Just pure singing and good instrumentals and nature with no extras!

    Just dreamt about this song the other night from an Elvis album in the 70s. Really like this one. TY, for the updated modern version.

    Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
    The unborn grass lies waiting
    For its coat to turn to green
    The snowbird sings the song he always sings
    And speaks to me of flowers
    That will bloom again in spring
    When I was young
    My heart was young then, too
    Anything that it would tell me
    That's the thing that I would do
    But now I feel such emptiness within
    For the thing that I want most in life's
    The thing that I can't win
    Spread your tiny wings and fly away
    And take the snow back with you
    Where it came from on that day
    The one I love forever is untrue
    And if I could you know that I would
    Fly away with you
    The breeze along the river seems to say
    That he'll only break my heart again
    Should I decide to stay
    So, little snowbird
    Take me with you when you go
    To that land of gentle breezes
    Where the peaceful waters flow
    Spread your tiny wings and fly away
    And take the snow back with you
    Where it came from on that day
    The one I love forever is untrue
    And if I could you know that I would
    Fly away with you
    Yeah, if I could you know that I would
    Fly away with you

    I love this tune. It is a classic for many reasons that and that the mandolin player is wearing an EXPOS cap well that just makes it extra special!!!

      Yes I agree this is even better then Anne or Elvis....as a young man about 10 years Old My father and Gene became good friends and I heard it live for the Master in his cottage in granville PEI. What a view Gene had there, I remember the exact place and who was with me the day he passed! such a sad day for all of Canada, I knew and worked for his father philip in the mid to late 70s, Gene was all about love and just wanted to be set free and now he sings with the snowbirds. He wrote and gave my dad a song back when they sang together in churches

  • @strawman8
    @strawman8 10 лет назад +3

    Snow Bird was written by the great Gene MacLellan of PEI and sung by Gene and of course made famous by Anne Murray of Spring Hill, Nova Scotia. Ryan Cook , also, I believe is from NS and does a good job on it. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow. Pretty nice. And the whole set up (the band) sounds natural n effortless like willie nelson and his band ...
    I have been listening to every rendition i can find and this ranks up there on top ... Also it is nice to hear a man sing it , and in a spare manner ... Could you do it with the french verse in there?
    And I agree with Gene Williams' comment (below)

    The birds in the background make this rendition that much better, eh. Like to play the solo on my mini bongos along with Expo guy. Great scenery to boot. As well as a lovely, cuddly young lady, now I feel as happy as pie. Awsome sound by everyone. Oh yeah, I like the sweaters on the 2 of you as well.
