“Let me tell you about the other one I’m gonna write. Boy, my hand doesn’t work fast enough, you know? Ah, it’s gonna be nothing in it but names of birds. It’s gonna start off with bluebird, and then something else, another bird, another bird, another bird… another bird, another bird, verse, maybe a bridge, then another verse and a bridge. Nothing but birds. And the last chorus I think will be in Latin.”

“What’s it gonna be about?”

“Birds.”

- Townes Van Zandt
