Durriwiyn - Little Bird
Format: Single
Release date: April 19, 2023
‘Little Bird’ is an apology to Durriwiyn’s inner-child. The track explores the feelings of inadequacy associated with failing to meet the expectations of his younger self.
The track’s multiple layers, deep-rooted lyrics and ambient bass line will give listeners a look into the intricacies of Durriwiyn’s perspective. He encourages listeners to truly engage with the track in its entirety to see not only anger, but also the hope that things will get better.
“I want my music to heal people. I've always been big on that. I want them to feel safe in it, like I'm speaking for them without them having to say it. But I want people to be able to hear the song, feel what I'm saying but then for it to just sit with them, knowing that it's okay for them to feel that way and they don't have to necessarily say it.”
