Sean Lennon and Princess Leia composed the song Bird Song.
41-year old Sean Lennon has shared a recording of a song he co-wrote with the late Carrie Fisher.
The Star Wars actress passed away on December 27, 2016 after suffering a severe cardiac arrest on a plane from London to Los Angeles days before.
The beloved son of musician John Lennon and Fisher were good friends, with the musician calling her “one of the best and closest friends I’ve ever had in my life” in an Instagram post after her death.
This week, Sean shared a song the pair wrote together called ‘Bird Song’, explaining it was about “staying up too late and hearing the birds sing.”
“Carrie and I wrote this song years ago,” Lennon wrote in a note accompanying the demo. “When she died I just felt I had to record it. This is only a demo unmixed, we only had a few hours to record it. But the lyrics she wrote with me I think are marvelous.”
“Carrie and I used to stay up til dawn chatting and pontificating about life,” he added. “They were my best moments.”
