Today, Humbird shares new single, North Country Girl, a repsonse to Bob Dylan’s Girl from the North Country.
‘Bob Dylan's 'Girl From The North Country" is an iconic song. I sang the song for years while traveling far and wide away from my own home in the North Country. Eventually, though, I began to wonder about the story within the lyrics from her perspective. What would she say to this long-lost lover who left the north but still sings of her? As the song developed, it became an expression of the haunting beauty of northern climates and the power behind choosing to stay. The folk music tradition is riddled with songs about traveling, the road, the rambling spirit. This song explores the opposite. What does it mean to remain in a particular landscape? What does it signify when someone chooses to stay, even when it's hard?’ - Siri Undlin (Humbird)
