Star Wars Legend Carrie Fisher Co-wrote Tender Song With Sean Lennon

Carrie Fisher wasn't just a Star Wars icon and Hollywood celebrity. She was an author, a comedian, a mental health advocate, and now according to new reports, a songwriter.

Sean Lennon, the son of Beatles legend, John Lennon, has just released a new track co-written by Carrie years before her passing in December 2016. Titled Birdsong, the collaborative song by Carrie and Sean features a tender wistful melody embossed by the vocals of Willow Smith.

Check it out down here:

"Carrie and I wrote this song years ago. When she died I just felt I had to record it. This is only a demo unmixed, we only had a few hours to record it. But the lyrics she wrote with me I think are marvelous. Carrie and I used to stay up til dawn chatting and pontificating about life. They were my best moments. Anyway... we wrote a song about staying up too late and hearing the birds sing. Willow Smith is a prodigal angel and was generous enough to lend her golden voice to this little tune."

Here are the lyrics of the song:

Bird Song

Love comes on cat's feet
It circles the corners
It sits by the window and whispers...
'Mine! Your mine! all mine!'

My arm fell asleep
And dreamt it was your arm
Hush lest we break the spell, oh well, oh well..

It's all so wrong
To greet the dawn
The birds sing that awful song saying
'You don't belong here!'

Besides playing the sassy Princess and later on General of the Rebel Alliance, Carrie sure does know how to write. Tender yet powerful, Carrie and Sean's lyrics bring about moving imagery that resonates strongly with the feeling of a rising dawn. Carrie will definitely be missed.
