The bird song | Victoria Vox | TEDxSIT

  • 0:02 - 0:05
    What can be done with one voice?
  • 0:05 - 0:06
    And when I say voice,
  • 0:06 - 0:09
    I not only mean the actual sound
    that is being produced,
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    but it's the message
    that is being delivered.
  • 0:12 - 0:13
    I feel fortunate
  • 0:13 - 0:17
    that when I have something to say,
    I can say it with music.
  • 0:18 - 0:23
    I know that my single voice
    can reach more people,
  • 0:24 - 0:27
    so I'll be performing an original piece
    called "The Bird Song",
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    and this is along with an animated video
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    which was created
    in a collaborative effort
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    to increase the impact of my voice.
  • 0:41 - 0:42
    (Video)
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    (VIdeo) (Birds chirping)
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    (Ukulele music)
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    (Singing) I'm gonna sing
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    Sing like a bird
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    A bird in the sky
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    The sky so high
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    And I'm gonna send
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    Send you a song
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    A song from my heart
  • 1:35 - 1:39
    My heart full of love
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    When you look in the mirror
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    Tell me what do you see
  • 1:50 - 1:55
    Do you see me in your eyes
  • 1:59 - 2:05
    Although I can't be there every day
  • 2:07 - 2:12
    You can hear me if you try
  • 2:13 - 2:17
    'Cause I'm gonna sing
  • 2:17 - 2:21
    Sing like a bird
  • 2:21 - 2:25
    A bird in the sky
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    The sky so high
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    And I'm gonna send
  • 2:34 - 2:37
    Send you a song
  • 2:38 - 2:41
    A song from my heart
  • 2:42 - 2:45
    My heart full of love
  • 2:48 - 2:51
    (trumpet beatboxing)
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    I'm gonna sing
  • 3:23 - 3:26
    Sing like a bird
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    A bird in the sky
  • 3:31 - 3:35
    The sky so high
  • 3:35 - 3:39
    And I'm gonna send
  • 3:39 - 3:43
    Send you a song
  • 3:43 - 3:46
    A song from my heart
  • 3:47 - 3:50
    My heart full of love
  • 3:52 - 3:56
    A song from my heart
  • 3:56 - 4:02
    My heart full of love
  • 4:03 - 4:04
    (Cheers) (Applause)
  • 4:04 - 4:06
    Thank you.
