Plus, all the side stories, which play out in a quasi-Short Cuts manner, feel banal as well. Songbird is too much of a trudge for us to care about these two characters, amongst the rubble and ruin, and it causes everything else to collapse on itself.

This beautiful, single level home in the gated development. Play Songbird has brief flashes of inspiration, like the idea that immune people are even more alone than everyone else because (as carriers) they can't see anyone, but as soon as one character insists that it makes them "Gods," because they can go sit in anyone's abandoned mansion, you realize how poorly nurtured the idea actually is. house located at 27 Songbird Rd, Trabuco Canyon, CA 92679 sold for 915,000 on Sep 2, 2020.
