22-Pistepirkko: Birdy

I've had a Finnish penpal for close to 20 years. She introduced me to some amazing music over the years, including Jolly Jumpers, Black Audio, Sweeheart and 22-Pistepirkko.

This song takes me back to one of the first few years we wrote each other and she put this on a mix tape. It's kind of Beatlesque, and kind of sad but also comforting in a Nick Drake sort of way.
