Jackson Browne tells the story behind “The Birds of St. Marks,” a song he wrote years earlier, forgot about, and eventually rediscovered in an unexpected way.

In this interview clip, Browne explains how the song was inspired by The Byrds, why it never sounded right on acoustic guitar, and how playing it on piano during an interview helped bring it back to life.
