LISTEN: Meredith Bragg - "Birds of North America"


MP3: Meredith Bragg - "Birds of North America"

There are songs that capture and convey an emotion, wrapping you up in a blanket of descriptive notes and melodies. Then there are songs that go beyond that, evoking imagery that amplifies this emotive magnetism. With its sweeping string arrangements and ethereal background drone, "Birds of North America" conjures up thoughts of an open plain tucked between towering mountains, mountains that point high into the sky. It's indie pop charm and chamber pop depth make it heartwarming and give it an inspiring sense of hope.
