Adrian Quesada and Abraham Alexander have earned their first Oscar nominations for Best Original Song. Stunning in its simplicity, “Like A Bird” is a beautiful, pared-back track that plays in the final moments of Sing Sing.
Much like the film, the carefully-woven-together lyrics of “Like A Bird” tenderly explore second chances, redemption, and empathy. The song pairs beautifully with Sing Sing’s message of rehabilitation through the arts. It serves as a reminder of how a perfectly-placed song can complement and elevate a film’s message. Sing Sing is one of the most compassionate, relevant, and revelatory films in recent memory. And “Like a Bird” is a worthy companion.
In an interview with Awards Buzz, Quesada and Alexander detail the artistic process behind “Like A Bird” and explain what being a part of Sing Sing’s message of finding humanity has meant to them.
Sing Sing is available on VOD.
