Lyrics:
I've been pacing around my room
thinking about how I like the color blue
it reminds me of you
I saw a bug on the window pain
I saw a drop followed by the rain
it reminds me of you
and you got me thinking about
all of your freckles and the corners of your mouth
do you think that I'm weird?
I like your kisses and I wish that you were here
all the time I got you on my mind all I do
reminds me of you
I met a bird and he sang a song
he took the melody while I sang along
but I could have been wrong
he told a story about a girl
I'm pretty sure that I understood the words
but I don't speak much bird
chords:
(I have tuned my ukulele up a full step and capped on 2. Alternatively you could learn how to play the ukulele in any key besides C. If you want to play this on guitar it's capo 4)
verse:
C C F C x2
chorus:

[@tessaviolet]

+Paint Thanks, Jon. *blushing face*.

[@mesmericvisions2219]

Paint lol

[@swiftsmile]

This brought a smile to my face :)

[@AnnaAkana]

squatting down to be a bird in frame was my favorite

[@oliviaobrien5846]

Same! :)

[@tessaviolet]

+Anna Akana complete accident I mostly cut my head off.

[@doddleoddle]

Super super beautiful ahhhhhhhhh

[@ehermenegildo827]

+doddleoddle ukulele queen dodie approves.

[@tessaviolet]

+doddleoddle teehee

[@GirliegirlRosie]

I think Tessa is way underappreciated for this beautiful piece of work..... There is no being sad when listening to this. "That's the bird."

[@bobmendoza2450]

Hannah Abi Lopez underrated is the word. And yes, this song's perfect!

[@heavyhandedvlogs]

You're basically Snow White. This is adorable.

[@billycraig3233]

Yes!

[@julialovesgfriend]

Know that I'm thinking about that...She could be Rose Red (Snow White's sister)! Omg that would be so cute :3

[@user-he8qm2rw3w]

+julia calvet Go talk to Disney!!!

[@stargazernana]

yeah hahaha :)

[@HeyCarlaRawr]

That moment when you do not speak birdish and you feel left out.

[@itsjustb-nolls8631]

I speak bird

[@chriscory2049]

+B-nolls Rubber duck translate? 😀

[@louds0ft593]

I speak bird. Pigeon, seagull and chicken. My best friend knows it. I once made 15min long bird noises at her. 😄 But I don't know, sometimes she seems a bit annoyed from me... 😮

[@eleanor_disintegrated1141]

I speak a bit of chicken, but according to my friend (who speaks fluent chicken) my pronunciation is terrible. I’ve always wanted to learn seagull though, there are lots of seagulls where I live. Anyone got any tips for learning?

[@sid6854]

Sprinkles The Unicorn I don’t know much seagull, but I heard it works best to get lessons. My favourite place to go to get lessons in seagull is the beach. I highly recommend it. Hope this helps you learn seagull! :)

[@mitchellniemi399]

I just have to say that after all of these years this is still one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard.

[@les8826]

She looks like a cute little elf with this adorable hair style :3

[@grunklesam787]

She kind of does though.

[@Matoustar]

"that's the bird" oh I love you so much

[@evifnoskcaj]

I still listen to this every now and then, even several years after its release (and re-upload). Such a wonderful original love song. Your love (and love lost) songs are the best!

[@_marimarimari]

I discovered your channel two days ago and I have been binge watching it since then. I love you so much already

[@tessaviolet]

[@ash_eey]

When you started dancing I died because it was so cute

[@chellemadzombie2297]

I wish this song was available on Amazon music, I could add it to my playlist that I made for my birds. I also love the song with the lyrics

[@cheretic3963]

tessa pretending to be a bird is adorable

[@SylvanLibrarian]

I've just listened to this song about 10 times on repeat and i'm showing no signs of stopping, It's such a cute song, love it so much!

[@Dhananjay_Tech]

This is such an awesome song! Relieving :)

[@sup8429]

[@TifasKnight]

That is one silly, but talented, little bird.

[@kittycat3638]

Mike TK exactly!!!!!

[@devanshae4051]

How do people write songs omg it's so good

[@beefyoso]

I've watched this about 15 times a day since I first saw it. now it's a week later and I just realized that this is the girl with the orange hair in the nanalew cover of sail that has over 200 million views.

[@MatthewMooMoore]

YES YES YE S YES YESSSSA FAODUILAOHUIFLDOIOA! Thanks Tessa. I love this song, as you know

[@tessaviolet]

+Matthew Moo Moore Thought of you when I recorded it!

[@MatthewMooMoore]

[@zomgneedarandomname]

+Tessa Violet Is there any chance you'd share how to play this on a acoustic guitar?

[@aquariaaaa]

+zomgneedarandomname look in the bottom of the decription

[@emmasgaming6728]

+Tessa Violet I cried listening to this song I don't know why but this song makes me feel better when I am sad I love you!

[@SnowTheAnimator]

this song feels like warm grey tea and snuggles

[@zahraandthepea]

Okay but I just sang this to a canary and he sang along

[@CChissel]

Well, I sang it to a finch, it sang a long too. I guess what's why it's called birdsong.

[@zahraandthepea]

nice!!

[@callanheise6398]

+Zahra did you just reply to yourself? Cool.

[@edengallagher1044]

^ No she replied to the person above

[@Rez_888]

She is so beautiful...my goodness. I am struck in the heart.

[@WarrusPRO]

Идеально )

[@fgnsfgnsfgn]

I like to interpret this song as a girl who's so wrapped up in being in love that she ignores the prophecy of an ominous bird trying to warn her of an imminent apocalypse, mistakenly thinking that the bird somehow shares her state of infatuation.

[@jessicatt2271]

Actually- that's a cool way to look at it!

[@danielkeys8974]

HOW DID YOU KNOW

[@AJforkids]

A woman but ya this is cool.

[@aaroncherry9985]

I never imagined you with long brunette hair singing a siren lullaby, but wow, talk about range.

[@lauradowell5569]

PLEASE PUT THIS ON SPOTIFYYYY🌹🌹

[@jiles7726]

Brilliant... I have goosebumps, you go from extreme hookified productions to angelic sweet kitchen sink simplicity... and Dear one, thank you: this is the first time anyone has written about the "corners of the mouth" in a love song ... I fell in love with a girl with beautiful corners decades ago and it changed the way I see mouths ... and this is the first time I ever saw this kind of thing related to in a song or in writing anywhere... GoodSpeed SuperT!!

[@cozymonica]

Oh my gosh I just love this so much. Now I want to go put on a floral dress and have a picnic.

[@eleice1]

This is my favorite thing off the planet!

[@donjear2226]

Very door-ball! Just about the cutest sweet song I have heard!

[@tomscoldfriedchicken]

This is so beautiful I love the way it never stops like this elegant stream of consciousness over a cutesy melody. Well done Tessa:)

[@lilacsky9178]

This is so beautiful oh my goodness Now to listen to it another 5272 times :D

[@usedtoplay]

Your the kind of weird that brightens my day, la la la and makes me realize it's all ok.

[@LaurenFairwx]

Tessa, this song is beautiful! Such a sweet video too. Pure sunshine!

[@christmaspoo4me]

Tessa has so many styles of singing and they are all good.

[@roshill2010]

Didn't expect a bird to chime in like that but, it works. Loved it!.

[@sphcvzc]

So glad I've found you through the Shaytards! Love your voice xx

[@lisanguyen6927]

Same

[@phoebe5000]

absolutely adore this song

[@evifnoskcaj]

This would be perfect for an indie, romantic movie...like at that moment when the couple realizes that they love each other or when one of the couple members proposes to the other!

[@Nononanette1]

Dang, love this song! And on a more personal note, I've always admired and respected the fact that people are able to put themselves out there and sing in front of a lifeless camera (even though it's a video and it's meant to be uploaded online later on) and kinda put yourself out there and just be yourself. I don't think I'd ever be able to do that myself. And hell, you got plenty of talent oozing out of you so I'm glad you do this for a living and you're able to share it with us. Thank you!

[@yuckynono5336]

this is the purest thing ive heard in years

[@tessanetting]

Love love love all the love

[@sarahkruger1426]

[@xpoeticdreamz]

I came here because of the shaytards video and as soon as I heard the song in the video I stopped watching to see where he got this song. All I was thinking was that I want to play this on guitar and I am so happy you put the chords on here and the capo for a guitar! I love this!

[@adhdbookworm]

After a tiring day of work the last few days I've been coming home and playing her music videos over and over again. Her music is overwhelmingly cute and witty and it's refreshing to hear music like hers.

Hello✋

[@BritneyMakara]

You're one of those few youtubers that transitioned to music very effortlessly and I love it so much. I loved your comedy sketches, but your music is so serene and calming and even through song it shows how genuine a person you are and really such a sweetheart

[@DominicLCollins]

One of my absolute favorite songs by anyone, really, and the first one of yours I ever heard. I could listen to this all day!

[@MelanieBakerMusic]

1. lovely song, lovely lovely lovely 2. those bird impressions tho

[@bambarbiya3160]

Кайф! Ты молодец!

[@sadie311]

I absolutely love it ! Thank you for sharing this Tessa. Your music brings so much light to my heart.

[@mxhxsh]

I still come back to this masterpiece.

[@CharlotteJeanJones]

Clue eight: jeez why are Evan and dodie so messy??

[@starwhale3797]

Are you doing a scavenger hunt thing?

[@CharlotteJeanJones]

Yes! It starts on intertwined if you want to do it :)

[@CharlotteJeanJones]

By dodie btw aha

[@starwhale3797]

Cool (:

[@paulinakondrat]

Hi Tessa ! Maybe you will never see this comment but.. anyway ! I'm a little french girl (so forgive my English!) who's trying to make some music too... I have the same microphone than you and I would like to know which settings you use for it ? Which volume input etc... ? Because I always think it's to high but when I'm listen on my computer it isn't enough ... Have you got some advice for me ? Lot of thanks !

[@tessaviolet]

Hey, Paulo! I always leave mine on the default setting (84?) but as you can hear, I am not a very "big" singer, so if your voice is louder than mine that would probably be too high for you!

[@paulinakondrat]

Alright ! Thank you very much for your answer ! :D

[@xXMarinazXx]

Discovered your channel in the middle of my final exam period and you've miraculously erased away all my stress. I can't tell you how calm and at ease I am now, I love your music so much and your quirkiness is so perfect!

[@nnekaenyi6173]

Hands down my favorite song!!!

[@leavingcomemorning]

bird song more like angel song am I right

[@40KKensei]

Dodger mentioned you on stream so I checked you out I'm glad I did

[@MattPalka]

Yes to this! That bird part! Thank you, Tessa, for the wonderful earworm to the start of my day. I'll be whistling it.

[@tessaviolet]

Haha thanks, Matt

[@luigiturtlezForReal]

definitely found this song way too late but also at the perfect time, I love it.

[@MegaTobins696]

Hello from Doogs stream :P . Great cover tessa

[@oatoverlord]

(Its an original tho-)

[@ashlynslocum8568]

I have a crush on this boy at my school and I'm scared to tell him that I like him and that I'm a Melanie Martinez fan he's not rude about what people like but he's really cute to me and this song reminds me of him and he just makes me really happy around him I think he likes me back but I've had a crush on him since last year and a lot of people said they think I like him just by the way I look at him but he's just so dang cute what can a girl do when a cutie looks at her!!

[@abbyrueda4764]

Update ? How did it go?! Lol

[@meialua8671]

It's been so long! I haven't heard this song in ages!

[@Haamaj]

I already have a vision of myself riding the bus to Uni... staring at peoples, cafe shops, and so many random things... listening to this beautiful song on early mornings of spring days. Thank you for letting us hear your song and chat with that little bird :D
