Watch Billie Eilish, Finneas Workshop ‘Beginnings’ of ‘Birds of a Feather’
Billie Eilish shared a video of her and brother Finneas O’Connell workshopping an early version of their hit, "Birds of a Feather."
In an Instagram video posted on Wednesday, Eilish wrote in the caption: “February 16th 2023 lil video of the beginnings of birds of a feather.” The clip sees the pair playing with the lyrics to the song — notably with a sleepy doggo sprawled on a couch in the background — while Finneas, who co-wrote and produced the track, has his legs propped on a desk. At one point, Eilish says, “I love that idea,” as they start to form what would eventually become: “Birds of a feather, we should stick together/I know I said I’d never think I wasn’t better alone/Can’t change the weather, might not be forever/But if it’s forever, it’s even better.” In a Rolling Stone review of the LP, writer Rob Sheffield noted that “even in a great pop year that’s already been a super-chunk cluster-bunch of bold statements for mega-pop queens, Hit Me Hard and Soft stands out as something uniquely strange,” and called “Birds of a Feather” a “poignant Eighties-flavored love song that could pass for vintage Sade or George Michael.”
