Natalia Dagenhart presents an inspirational song "Bird"
Dear friends! It's finally happening! I was waiting for this moment for twenty one years! And now, I am happy to share with you my inspirational song "Bird" ("Птица"). The premiere of the music and video arrangement of this song is coming on September 19, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. Chicago time:
Are you excited to hear my song "Bird"? Then please don't forget to set a reminder for this premiere. You can do it on my song's watch page via a pinned comment, in the description, or over chat (just click on the YouTube link provided in the previous paragraph). For better video quality, please adjust your quality to 1080p HD in your YouTube Settings (see the gear button near the bottom right of your YouTube screen).
Here is what people who saw the preview of this song's video and heard its beautiful arrangement have to say:
This is a song that can change your life; this is a song that can help you make a step forward; this is a song that will give you hope; and this is a song that will help you stay calm even during the most horrible events in your life. You deserve it, because you were hiding your sorrows, pain and disappointments deep in your heart for too long.
The song "Bird" will lift you up, it will give you moral support, and it will please your ears. In the middle of the craziness of this world, find peace, inspiration and pleasure by listening to my song "Bird." Besides that, I hope you will enjoy a beautiful and touching video that I created to accompany my song and to emphasize its spirit, mood and tenderness.
I wrote both the music and lyrics for this song on April 23, 1998. At that time I still lived in Russia and was going through very difficult times. Writing music, poetry and songs helped me to overcome my problems. Sitting in a small apartment, being unemployed, having health issues, feeling absolutely broken and unhappy, I kept creating every day.
I never thought that someday I would get the courage to share my creations with the world, but the time has come, and I am finally ready to share with you one of my creations! During my lengthy unemployment period I wrote more than forty songs, numerous poetry pieces, and several piano compositions. My creativity helped me to stay sane, it lifted me up, and now I want to help YOU overcome your difficulties, obstacles and sorrows!
Originally, I wrote this song in Russian, and in 2017 I translated it into English. During the same year, I started my GoFundMe page where people donated money to pay for the arrangement of this song:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/nataliadagenhart I want to thank Bill Rock, Yuliya Adent, Svetlana Lyons, Zuzana Tkacova and my anonymous donors for their help!
I also want to thank Gabriel Riccio, a talented music arranger from Chicago, for his great work! He was very patient with me working on this arrangement, helped me to find the best way to present this song, and spent a lot of time working on it. Gabriel is extremely talented and devoted to his profession, and having his help was a blessing for me!
Please, keep in mind that this version of the song is in both English and Russian, with refrains being sung in Russian. However, it shouldn't scare you, because I put English subtitles in the video for your convenience. Don't miss them during the first refrain of the song!
The premiere of my "Bird" can't wait to meet you soon! I hope this song helps you feel inspired and strong! This song is also going to be available on ITunes and Spotify soon. Stay tuned!
Sincerely yours,
Natalia Dagenhart
