We have lots of these birds in the yard. I kept calling them sparrows until I just now looked it up and learned that it was a finch.
This is a song that I rocked out to yesterday on the drive home from work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzzAXO81CyQ
I forgot just how much I enjoy listening to The Love and Rockets. This song in particular has a good refrain at the end:
Live the life you love
Use a god you trust
And don't take it all too seriously
