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!!"

I do not need to have my eyes, when such beauty fills my ears. I love you Lisa. And my wife is cool with that. I ain't blind when such beauty fills the air. My blind eyes cry with joy.

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.

What a sweet haunting voice Lisa has, love her....

[WeHaveFreshCookies]

Your lyrics are tearing me apart, Lisa! 

[ravenna]

This song makes the tears stream down. Absolutely beautiful. It’s the song that plays in the credits of the movie “Maudie”. Also a beautiful movie. 🖤🙏

"You are lonely as a church despite the queuing out your door. I am empty as a promise, no more."
Probably the best lyrics I've ever heard. <3

Blue diamond has Such a beautiful voice

[Srcsqwrn]

I came searching for Lisa after finding out that it was her voicing Blue. I KNEW I knew her! I used to listen to her so much when I was younger.

I am blown away, and so happy I'm finding Lisa again.

This song means so much to me...

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 of you often
But for once I meant what I said.
Here I stay, I lay me down,
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.
Here I stay, I lay me down,
In a house by the Hill.
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.

4.07 mins under water while lip syncing. Voice of an angel, lungs of a pearl diver.

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
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill

If you get the chance see Lisa live, She has a voice that is a gift not just to herself but also to all who have the good fortune to hear her sing.

I've lost track of how many times I've watched this. Nothing so simple has ever been so captivating.

[dboyd]

I feel like i'm gasping for air just watching this. Simply brilliantly amazing.

[IrakliOmadze]

For several years this video was not available in my country. So glad that they re enabled it.

[seancampbell]

People should be speaking about you in the same breath as WB Yeats and Seamus Heaney. You’re a master wordsmith, and one of the finest Ireland has ever graced. You should be so proud of yourself

[suspiciousstar]

I can just see Blue Diamond quietly singing this song whie she kneels near Pink's palanquin, reminiscing in memories between her and Pink, while Blue Pearl admires her singing 💙✨

[AOKmoore]

This is music and perfection in one. 
Emotions flowing like water; no shape or form
