And the songbirds are singing, like they know the score/
And I love you, I love you, I love you, like never before.

Lyrically, “Songbird” is a simple song about new love. New love can make the world feel just right—like all your pain will forever disappear or songbirds will sing around you two like a Disney movie. Everything is alright.

“Songbird” is a Fleetwood Mac song sung by Christine McVie. It is McVie’s greatest contribution to Fleetwood Mac. She has a bunch of top forty hits, but none sound as magical and personal as “Songbird”.

She is accompanied by just a piano. Notice the sound of the piano. It sounds majestic. You can almost picture the medium size room and echoing concrete floors and grand piano. The acoustics are great, and it feels “live”.

Can you believe this is another song from their Rumours album? That album is just ridiculous. It is going to have five of the top 500 songs on this list. Not Fleetwood Mac—just songs of Fleetwood Mac’s from their Rumours album. No one else can match that, not even The Beatles or Dylan.

Songbird Lyrics

For you, there’ll be no more crying.
For you, the sun will be shining.
And I feel that when I’m with you,
It’s alright, I know it’s right.

To you, I’ll give the world.
To you, I’ll never be cold.
‘Cause I feel that when I’m with you,
It’s alright, I know it’s right.

And the songbirds are singing, like they know the score.
And I love you, I love you, I love you, like never before.

And I wish you all the love in the world.
But most of all, I wish it from myself.

And the songbirds keep singing, like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before, like never before, like never before.
