"October Song"
by Amy Winehouse
“Birds and flight fascinate me. “October Song” was written about a bird, Amy Winehouse’s pet canary, named Ava. It’s a remix and rewrite of the legendary Sarah Vaughan’s “Lullaby of Birdland.” Another thing: October is my favorite month. It’s a transitional month, it brings the chill, the time before birds in the north migrate to the south. My goal was to create a story that pulled together and amplified those themes in a poetic and compelling way."
