Well into the month of September as well as the month-o-Elizabeth Mitchell and we come to her lovely album You Are My Little Bird. This album was my first exposure to Elizabeth Mitchell and her music...I have never turned back!
This album is so completely relaxing and pleasant that I listen to it on a regular basis. One of my favorite songs on the album is Three Little Birds. Many of you are probably familiar with this Bob Marley song: "...don't worry, about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be all right..." and many of your little ones were introduced to it in the popular movie Shark Tale. The message of this sweet and simple song as expressed in the chorus is great for children to learn. I often sing this song while driving in the car with my little ones and while doing things in my classroom as a constant reminder that whatever is going on in life, everything is going to be fine.
Another of my favorites is If You Listen..."If you listen, you can hear, birds sing and flowers grow, if you listen you can hear, my love for you just grow..." The lyrics are few and sweet which make it an easy song to learn so you can sing it to your little ones before bed or while snuggling them on a rocking chair.
I simply cannot say enough about how restful and pleasant each and every song on this album is. If you have not been turned on to Elizabeth Mitchell up to this point, I highly recommend giving this album a chance. It is great to use in a classroom or at home. The complete list of songs on this album are: Little Liza Jane, Who's My Pretty Baby, Zousan, Little Bird, Little Bird, Three Little Birds, What Goes On, Pom Na Tu Ri, Buckeye Jim, Peace Like A River, Los Pollitos, Winter's Come And Gone, Little Wing, Lily Pond, The North Wind, If You Listen, Down In The Valley, and Grassy Grass Grass.
Happy Elizabeth Mitchelling!!!
