Eyes dark and face so pale
Do you know what your future holds
Over your side of the road
White bird with a black tail
Look like an open sail
Made me look up from my shoes
To show me what you stand to lose
White bird White bird
With your face so pale
White bird White Bird
Where'd you get that tail
White Bird White Bird
With a black tail
White feathers dipped in tar
It's hard to tell how old you are
Wondering how much you know
About all of us below
Half of you is heavenly
Showing off your purity
The rest of you is from the street
Like a line where they both meet
White bird White bird
With your face so pale
White bird White Bird
Where'd you get that tail
White Bird White Bird
With a your face so pale
White Bird White Bird
With a black tail
I know nothing about a white bird with a black tail, but I found a Common Goldeneye (a type of duck common in eastern North America) in the median of the road yesterday. With the nearby lake frozen over I assume it landed in the road thinking it was open water. Unfortunately, that kind of thing happens every couple of years.
I picked it up and put it on the floor of the backseat of the car and drove down the road until I could find accessible open water. When I released it it looked back at me with a look that said, "What? You're not going to eat me?"
I had duck poop on my hands, on my coat and on the carpet on the floor of the backseat. That look? It was worth it.
Cool story. Thank You for sharing it!

Best story ever!
This sounds great on RP‘s Flac stream. I urge you to try if you haven’t done so already.
Yes!! Very true!!

A collective thank you, Grammarcop from all of us animal/bird lovers out there.
Thank you for sharing this heartwarming bit of life in the city.
Yes, thank you for your caring and effort fellow animal, bird, foul...etc. lover.

There's a good segue there Bill.

Whopper whopper
I ask you all: when was the last time your Whopper looked even remotely this good right out of the box? And McDonald's burgers always look like they've sat on by a comatose elephant for a week.

..oh great, now i'll never get that image out of my mind when i hear this tune..
..(just funnin', for all the killjoys out there.. :P ..nice pic!)..
That would be food.....right?
"........special orders don't upset us."
Trying hard to miss you Excelsior... but hey,,, sorry man, I just can't find it in me.
I love her voice... It really is something special.
I'll second that. I'm not right impressed with her third album, which is too produced and 'poppy' for my tastes. I just hope she's not going too far into the mainstream else she'll end up in that musical limbo known as MOR. I like her as the wee lass from Fife :o)
K.T. Tunstall, is on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos to discuss her album, 'Drastic Fantastic.'
"KT Tunstall she's like irresistible, she just invits you to her world, and you want to come lol. One of the pearl of the new music scene, made in UK ...as always." Ilikeyouall
"coz its class lol is that phrase used in america or canada ? "
"In a funny way she reminds me of Kate Bush, in that they are both completely nice and unaffected in interviews, and explain themselves well." Yehudittx
I love her voice... It really is something special.
Exactly when I was thinking "Is she singing about whoppers?", I saw this. Instant laugh
More importantly, she's a terrific singer and songwriter, and this is another fine song. 8 from the smitten Nottingham jury.
Fred, I don't always agree with you but when it comes to KT, I back you 100%
Whopper whopper
If fact had to break away from RP to catch a vid on youtube of It's a Beautiful Day
pretty tight, though, right? She can get away with it. Nice track selection in 'White Bird'. You know who she is married to, right?
It sticks in my mind. Memorable = Good, in the world of music marketing. Whenever I hear one of her songs, I picture this album and stll like the song.
Same here. I think the cover's pretty damn sexy, but then I've always had a thing for women with kinky boots and big instruments :o)

Just shoot whoever designed that hideous album cover!!

Was thinking the same thing, but it works for everyone, doesn't it? I mean, if you fall for glam, you'll buy it. And if you see thru the glam there's actual substance in this album. Excellent marketing.
Hey!
You forgot to add your pukey signature, dude!!
Just shoot whoever designed that hideous album cover!!
You wish you could be half that glam.
You know, it's odd, but suddenly, I feel sort of tirezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Just shoot whoever designed that hideous album cover!!
Agreed
A clear 6.6138 from the sub-arctic jury.
What an incredible song. A clear 9.5 in my opinion!!!
LOVELY and real-real MUSIC!!!
What a cool, subtle bird set:
Goldfrapp - Little Bird
The Be Good Tanyas - The Coo Coo Bird
The Wailin' Jennys - Arlington
Guster - Ruby Falls
KT Tunstall - White Bird
Fine songs, all.
Might be my favorite album cover of all time...
Yep. A strong woman with a big guitar and kinky boots really does it for me :o)
I loved her early albums when she was a feisty lass from Fife who wrote great songs.
