Kenny G: Songbird Meaning
-
It means an appreciation of sensual peace, to me. I mentally go to a serene forest with sunlight peering through tree branches, a gentle stream, fresh and pleasant smells of nature, i.e., flowers, grass, water. I imagine peaceful animals not far away,all of us minding our own business, doing what each of us do, sharing space and appreciating their magnificence. I hear birds singing softly amidst the imagery...a "Bambi" scene, if you will. Not the least bit of music science involved. Simply pleasure.
