There's also some background here on the story behind the song: https://buttondown.com/manfeelings/archive/a-song-for-a-little-bird/

I just wanted to say thank you for this recording – I used it in a song I wrote and released recently, which was called "Little Bird". The story of the song is bittersweet: my daughter is called Robin, and another parent saw us playing with her and told us about his stillborn daughter, who he called Robin. He had a tattoo of the bird on his arm. It really moved me, so I wrote a song about it – I wanted to have the sound of a robin singing throughout the song.

Your recording here was perfect – not just because it was so well-captured and clean, but because the length of the recording was almost exactly the length of my song :) I simply placed it alongside the existing audio and it fit perfectly without editing.

You can hear the song on Spotify here – thank you so much for making this available: https://open.spotify.com/track/3b4RQNOo36JNiLT6f6foFg?si=d4187d4ea92e4302

Thank you, very useful clean sound. I'm going to try it out in a theatre production. Will let you know if we use it.
