about

The Kauaʻi ʻōʻō or ʻōʻōʻāʻā (Moho braccatus) is a member of the extinct genus of the ʻōʻōs (Moho) within the extinct family Mohoidae from the islands of Hawai'i. It was previously regarded as member of the Australo-Pacific honeyeaters (Meliphagidae).[2] This bird was endemic to the island of Kauaʻi. It was common in the subtropical forests of the island until the early twentieth century, when its decline began. Its song was last heard in 1987 and it is now probably extinct.

The melodies in this track are based on a sound recording of the last known living male. It was a mating call, but the bird's mate had been killed in a hurricane earlier that year.

lyrics

You haven't come back
I'm still waiting

I keep calling
You haven't showed up

Press play on the tape recorder
Play it back when the subject is gone
No more clothing for big men
Gold feathers finished in the storm
