Greenfinch and Linnet Bird (Sweeney Todd) – Vocal Cover by Elizabeth Sparrow

My darlings,

This poignant song – Greenfinch and Linnet Bird, from Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd – was planned for this month, my first performance in several months, which marks my fifteenth year housebound, and the latter half of my near thirty years of chronic, unrelenting and often severe illness.

It was not planned that Ma wouldn't be here to watch me do it, nor that I would be as weak as I presently am.

But I'd like to think that my greatest ally is still watching, and applauding as only a devoted mother can, wherever she is.

This one is for you, Ma, with all my love.

🙏❤️🌈

[Video Description: Elizabeth is standing in a sideways profile, wearing English rose make-up, with her auburn hair swept into a tousled faux bun and adorned with a double red-rose clip. She is looking pensively out of the light-blue curtained window, dressed in black with her late mother's green and sky-blue bird-patterned silk scarf around her neck. Her thoughtful expression remains as she sings, trilling the high notes that are so very deeply affecting to herself and the millions around the world just like her.]
