This theme #BirdsOnTheWing for the #ThursdayFiveList made for a fun musical journey.
Edit: I just remembered a song that I *love* and that goes even better with my color scheme... I'm subbing "Bluebird" for "Blue Jay Way."
1. When Doves Cry / Quindon Tarver
(Music From The Motion Picture "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet" 10th Anniversary, 2007)
This is a rather unusual take. It was not on the original soundtrack, but was one of the bonus tracks on the 2007 re-release. I like it.

2. Blackbird (Live) / Paul McCartney and *Wings* (emphasis mine)

3. White Bird / It's a Beautiful Day
I had totally forgotten about this song.

5. Yellow Bird / Sol3 Mio
It was a pleasure discovering this New Zealand trio of Samoan descent. The group is classically trained; one is a baritone and the other two are operatic tenors. Their genre is "operatic pop." They are very popular in NZ, evidently.
