Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The song "Songbird" by All Angels is a poem of love, devotion, and hope. The opening lyrics seem to offer relief in some way as the singer promises that the person for which this song is intended will no longer have to cry and will be showered with light from the sun. The singer says that whenever they are with this individual, everything feels right. The lyrics suggest that this person is offering comfort to someone else through their presence, and that being with them is like a beacon of hope.
The second verse continues with the singer offering this person the world and promises to never let them be alone or scared. The repetition of the phrase "I know it's right" reinforces that the singer has complete confidence in their love for this person, and they could not imagine themselves with anyone else. The metaphor of the songbirds singing is a poignant and powerful symbol of love, representing how the natural world continues to thrive even as humans struggle in their relationships. The song ends with the singer expressing that they wish the person all the love in the world, but they also wish it for themselves, adding another layer of love and self-discovery.
Overall, "Songbird" is a beautiful and emotional ode to love and hope that showcases All Angels' incredible vocal harmony.

I went to see these young ladies in April 2008 at Coventry Cathedral. I bought the tickets for my mum for Christmas. Sadly she passed away in the February. I had this version of Songbird played at her funeral. I went to see them with my husband, and we had the meet and greet, which I had bought for my mum. When I told them what had happened they sang a little bit of the song for me, especially for mum, and it was acapella. It was stunning. They are lovely young ladies, and I will never forget what they did.

That's a very touching experience. I worked with the company that sponsored their cathedral tours so got to meet them all. A very talented and lovely group of girls. My favourite was Daisy but they were all very special.
