Mesmerising, calming guitars blend with the sound of New Zealand birds and the bright chortles and trills of a juvenile magpie. Three months after living with a juvenile magpie whom I named Floyd, he did not return one morning. Thankfully, I had recorded his happy warblings before he disappeared, so his beautiful singing accompanies this wistful guitar composition expressing longing to see my dear friend again.

I love this. Thank you for sharing it. The guitars are mesmerising and calming, and I love the brightness of the little chortles and trills of Floyd. It makes me think of this quote from this beautiful children’s book: “A magpie can be happy or sad: sometimes so happy that he sits on a high, high gum tree and rolls the sunrise around in his throat like beads of pink sunlight; and sometimes so sad that you would expect the tears to drip off his beak. This magpie was like that.” Colin Thiele in Magpie Island

Such a beautiful piece of music and a lovely tribute. It evoked so many feelings in me, heartbreak, longing, loss, loneliness, like walking a long treeless dusty backroad under a burning high summer sun. I will be listening many times. Thank you and many blessings on this journey 🙏

Wow! Excellent piece of instant serenity, thanks for sharing! Floyd the magpie sure had a lot to say while you were playing guitar😏 Maybe he is flying around providing a feather of serenity to folks during these uncertain times... fly Floyd fly ...😊 Namaste` Dave in Washington State 🙏

So lovely! Bittersweet and sad, too, knowing the little feathered friend will probably not return. Very nice.
