5.0 out of 5 stars Ingenious, January 31, 2009

By	Braxton Hicks "Hicks" (USA) - See all my reviews

If only there were more singles like this. Creative, wonderful, literate, perfectly-wrought, unusual, lovely.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great new single, April 19, 2004

By	David Goodwin (Westchester, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I really adore "Come Home Billy Bird," the lead-off single from the Divine Comedy's new album "Absent Friends." It's bouncy, jaunty, and be-lyricked delightfully. It sounds nothing like the rest of the album, though, and the b-side "Idaho" (a somber, somewhat overwrought number that clearly deserves it place as a B-side) is another thing entirely, heavily orchestrated and heavy on Mr. Hannon's exquisite vocal impact.

“Come Home Billy Bird

by The Divine Comedy

is mainly Baroque Pop, quite Alternative Rock, with hints of Indie”
