Yellow Bird

This made me cry pretty hard the first time I saw it cause I couldn't handle the cuteness. I get really happy when lots of people do things together like play music.

It's middle schoolers doing Yellow Bird. I have liked The Ventures version of it since I was a kid. It is a 19th century Haitian song composed by Michel Mauleart Monton with lyrics from a poem by Oswald Durand. It was rewritten with English lyrics in the 20th century as "Yellow Bird."
