Miranda Lambert - Bluebird

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Bluebird’ - Miranda Lambert

One of our favourite songs from Miranda’s latest ‘Wildcard’ album now has a wonderful new video.directed by Trey Fanjoy. Miranda wears blue feathers and sits inside her own birdcage, surrounded by an audience straight out of the Moulin Rouge firm. It’s a fitting visual for the song, which pays tribute not only to actual Bluebird, but also to Nashville’s Bluebird Café, a well-known venue for emerging talent and established artists in the city.

“I love ‘Bluebird,’ it’s a song like I’ve never written before and I’m so proud to be a part of it,” Miranda comments. “Since I wrote it, I’ve been seeing bluebirds everywhere. The bluebirds had always been there — I live on a farm — but I never saw them like I see them now. It reminds me to open my eyes to what’s around me. Now, seeing a bluebird sitting on a branch means so much more to me. I see a little piece of hope there, sitting with wings, and it’s a reminder. I think this is one of those songs where every person takes what they need to from it.”
