about

A song about silly reasons to call home.
Dedicated to the memory of my amazingly awesome mother, Nanette Sturgill.

lyrics

Starlings
November 2019
Holly Kirsten

Last light of day retreats
Sky of monochrome
The mist moves in sheets
That swaddle the earth
Hiding by the hearth, we find
Quiet on the streets
Starlings take to sky
In vast configurations

What do we call those birds, mom--
the name for a flock of birds?

Starlings dive and float in synchrony
Calling sky their home
A cloud of mystery
that enraptures me
Wanting not for hearth or time
Simply meeting needs
Traveling as one holy exultation

What do we call those birds, mom--
the name for the flock of birds?

We saw starlings together one time
A moment that is frozen in my mind
They wove together in an intricate dance
Should I call you to ask you again?

about

Holly Kirsten Virginia Beach, Virginia

I have been singing, creating new songs, and playing stringed instruments for as long as I can remember. I love sharing music with others and have played with several local bands in the Hampton Roads region.

I also produce my own music. All the songs that you hear are, with the exception of a few special appearances, my own creation.
