about

The sparrow has a new song and so does Newfoundland folk roots singer-songwriter Sherry Ryan. After hearing a CBC radio interview about the white-throated sparrow’s new song taking over North America, Sherry was inspired to write about a change that’s spread all across the nation. A bird song going viral is almost unheard of but it quickly caught on through sparrows imitating each other and spread from British Columbia across Canada and into the US wintering grounds. This is the 3rd single from Sherry’s upcoming album ‘Shout for More’ which is set for release October 12, 2022.

lyrics

Sparrow sings a new song
All across the nation
Cleverly renewed on
A spreading imitation
They all sing it in the wintering grounds
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tennessee bound

Come on we could use
Some kind of celebration
Nothing to do with how
It’s over now
Wait til you hear them making their rounds
West of the rocks coastal California bound

They were singing the same old song
And they left it all behind
Things change and you move along
When you’re ready

Sparrow sings a new song 
all across the nation 
clearly improved upon and spreading everywhere 
they all sing it in the wintering grounds
Oklahoma Arkansas and Tennessee bound
wait till you hear them making their rounds
west of the Rockies coastal California bound
