Birds of a Feather - Billie Eilish (Bardcore | Medieval Style Cover)

▶ Spotify (This song won’t be up for a little bit, but you can find my other work here): ▶ Consider supporting the channel on Patreon: I feel like a Billie Eilish cover has been long overdue, but I’ve struggled to interpret her songs in the past. This one was a challenge too, but I tried to lean into the fairytale/Disney vibes. It could even belong in an animated Barbie movie from the early 2000s. I hope you enjoy this silly and whimsical interpretation, thank you for listening! The Art: The image is Maria van Bourgondië by Albert de Vriendt, but I’ve re-painted the face to look like Billie. The Lyrics: I want thee to stay Till I am in the grave Until I rot away, dead and buried Lying in the casket thou dost carry If thou goest, I go too ‘Tis thee, I always knew If I am turning blue, do not save me No one but my true love shall wake me Birds of a feather, we should flock together, I know I said I’d never think I was not better alone Capricious weather, might not be forever But if it is forever, ‘tis all the better I know not what I am crying for I think I could not love thee more It might be brief, but lambkin I I shall love thee till the day that I die Till the day that I die Till the see runneth dry Till the day that I die Couldst thou but only see Thyself as I see thee Thou wouldst learn to trust thy reflection ‘Tis the very soul of perfection But thou’rt modest to a fault Thee whom I exalt ‘Tis better to be ardent than prudish Thou sayest “let it end” Be not foolish I know not what I am crying for I think I could not love thee more It might be brief, but lambkin I I cannot say goodbye Birds of a feather, we should flock together, I know I said I’d never think I was not better alone Capricious weather, might not be forever But if it is forever, ‘tis all the better I knew thee in another life Thou hadst that same look in thine eyes I love thee, act not so surprised
