“We weren’t intending to share this song right now,” says Everything Everything’s Jonathan Higgs, “but in the age of coronavirus, we wanted to be responsive to the changed landscape, and ‘In Birdsong’ unexpectedly emerged as the most appropriate song to reappear with.” The song really does take flight, elegiac with gossamer guitars and EE’s trademark falsetto vocals. “‘In Birdsong’ tries to imagine what it would have been like to have been the first self-aware human,” says Higgs. “The theory claims that the eventual melding of these two minds into the two-sided human brain we have now was the dawn of mankind’s consciousness.” Ponder that while watching the single’s mind-expanding video.
‘In Birdsong’ is the new track from Everything Everything.
