Hi everyone...
Music has always been a powerful outlet for me, a way to express emotions that words alone often fail to capture. "Birds of the Feathers" by Billie Eilish resonates with me on a deeply personal level. The song's haunting melody and introspective lyrics speak to the fragility of relationships, the complexity of emotions, and the beauty of human connection—even when it feels like everything is falling apart.

I chose this song because it mirrors my own experiences with vulnerability and self-discovery. Just like the delicate birds in the song, I’ve learned that it's okay to feel fragile, to embrace those moments of weakness, and to find strength in them. This song serves as a reminder that it's the broken pieces that often form the most beautiful mosaics of who we are.
Presenting this song in the competition is not just about showcasing my musical ability; it's about sharing a piece of my heart. Every note, every word of this song, is a reflection of my journey, and I hope that by performing it, I can connect with others who might feel the same way.
LYRICS
I want you to stay
'Til I'm in the grave
'Til I rot away, dead and buried
'Til I'm in the casket you carry
If you go, I'm going too, uh
'Cause it was always you, alright
And if I'm turning blue, please don't save me
Nothing left to lose without my baby
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather, might not be forever
But if it's forever, it's even better
And I don't know what I'm crying for
I don't think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby, I
I'll love you 'til the day that I die
'Til the day that I die
'Til the light leaves my eyes
'Til the day that I die
I want you to see, hm
How you look to me, hm
You wouldn't believe if I told ya
You would keep the compliments I throw ya
But you're so full of shit, uh
Tell me it's a bit, oh
Say you don't see it, your mind's polluted
Say you wanna quit, don't be stupid
And I don't know what I'm crying for
I don't think I could love you more
Might not be long, but baby, I
Don't wanna say goodbye
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know ('til the day that I die)
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone ('til the light leaves my eyes)
Can't change the weather, might not be forever ('til the day that I die)
But if it's forever, it's even better
