"Everybird"- Title Song Off the Album
After no less than three hundred versions, here is my strange obsession: Everybird
Matt Perez-drums
Ava Perez-upright bass, bowed bass
Earl Foote-slide
Parker Elliott-back vox
Ian Walters-back vox, horns
Thelonious Elliott-Eurorack percussion
Bob Elliott-vox, guitars, keys
Everybird
People, did you ever need somebody
Somebody there in your life?
Everything goes wrong without her
And with her everything goes right?
‘Cause you could be there with nothing
With money can be so tight
But when you got her you got something
And it’s something money just can’t buy
‘Cause every bird will have its number
And no other bird will have that number
This is a story of redemption
This is a way to save your life
Here comes the sun
Here it comes
Love’s gonna set you right
‘Cause every bird will have its number
And no other bird can have that number

A masterpiece from the Family Elliott. This is quite a powerful performance from you, Bob -- like your soul and heart are totally in what you're singing and playing. But that's not unusual for you. Strong, simple arrangement, too. Great dynamics from the two acoustics. Not to mention, poignant lyrics. What more can you ask for? Great song!

Ditto what Tom said. I love the chord changes! They have a Curtis Mayfield vibe that is really exhilarating and blissful. Great job as always!

Thanks, Tom and Richard. I did so many versions that I wrote an entirely new song called “Everybird Morning” which closes the album. The two Everybirds open and close the album and share some sections. Tom plays on Everybird Morning.
But yeah, I love Curtis Mayfield. I don’t know if it’s reality, but in my mind, I’m making soul music with acoustic guitar.
I appreciate the support, guys. It’s tough out here.

Bob - If a song is authentic, heartfelt, emotive and sincere, then it’s soul music. You are definitely making soul music!

Amen to that, Richard. In my mind, it’s also gotta make you dance, and that can be the hardest trick. Not sure I ever achieve that to the degree I hoped, but it’s fun reaching for it.

I’m thinking about bumping this at least until Stoneman and Scott notice it. There are many other people here I hope check it out, also.
I want to say thanks to Desperado for always checking out everything and his many station adds for me and for all of us. Very cool.
And does Phlegm come here still ever? Steve Ison? Hop on Pop? Man, I miss those days. Hope Chandra Moon checks it. I miss Bryon for sure. There was so much of everyone listening to each other and putting up songs for each other that makes this place alive.
Self promo is not fun in the sense of I don’t like to bother people, but this is as good a song as any to plant my flag.

Brother Man, I think this one is a Gem. A BIG Gem. Love the Flow and the Tune itself, and I would dare to say you have a voice that brings someone else to My mind. Very Dylanish for sure. And another guy you may have never heard of that I went to School with in back Home. He did alright for himself I'd Say and had the exact same sound as You.
LITTLE STEVIE ORBIT
That was his Nickname. Yo sound VERY MUCH like Him.
Well Done, Bro!! FULL SPEED AHEAD.

Thanks so much for checking us out, Seismo.
That’s a cool song you posted. I loved (love) his song Romeo’s Tune, his first hit. That one floored me when I was in my teens.
I greatly appreciate the support.

Anytime, Man. That Tune in the Video is his latest work, and I listen to your voice in yours and it immediately reminded me of his.
Y'all just keep doin' what your doin' and submit it around. You Never Know what might materialize??!!

Very catchy, and overall nice feel about it, was it keys or real harmonica on the outro?
Added to Tunes In My Head station

Thanks for the station add, Chris. That is an honor.
I’m playing a harmonica on that outro.

Bob -this version of Everybird is the best by far.
Lyrically and musically it proves that the more you polish the diamond the more brilliant it becomes. The song really captures a soulful era
when ear candy was sweeter than ever and dancing with someone you love is everything.
I’m always inspired by your creativity and work ethic and look forward to your next gem!

Thanks a ton for the feature, and also to everyone who put us up on a station.
If ya’ll like the mood we lay down, there’s a whole album up streaming everywhere by the same name. It’s kind of a morning album.
