[FionaBoosh]

Budgie!

[campsterman2010]

I have a friend named Andrew. And another we all call "Bird" and neither of them can compare to Andrew Bird.

[Excuseify]

Andrew Bird is my favorite kind of bird. 

[QueenOfDerp]

@Excuseify there needs to be a tshirt made with that! haha

[sohcsarewicked]

ctia wireless sent me here

[thelegend759]

@benjamminroemer lol I just wanted to see how many people would get mad at me for saying that.

[michaeldiogenes]

Sounds like my new favorite album.

[thelegend759]

sounds like Bruno Mars.

[benjamminroemer]

@thelegend759 werd??!? rally??? no hate on bruno, (as far as the mainstream pop goes these days, hes pretty decent). just dont see the semblance.

[sueannwashere]

@thelegend759 are you fucking kidding?

[thelegend759]

@sueannwashere Yes. Of course I'm fucking kidding lmao.

[Shoovit]

sounds a bit like killers

[PACKSrock331]

@Shoovit as andrew bird's music as a whole, i beg to differ. in fact i plead!

[basara7661]

This best part of this song is from around 0:00-7:31

[tamroluluromtakankav]

his whistling is fantastic !!! >3

[aha45]

Some of those lyrics are slightly off. But their good either way!

[ohasia]

TORE THE SPINES FROM OUT OF ALL OF THESE SELF HELP BOOKS

[derposi]

sounds a bit like travis?!

[RichieW]

@derposi NO U!

[aymansays]

seriously...

"do you wonder where the self resides? is it in your head or between your sides and who will be the one who will decide it's true locatioooooooon?"

the best.

[hbash089]

YES!!!

[TheWelby73]

Those lyrics are enchanting. What goes on inside this man's mind?

[SkiethxEpitaph]

where most of us think in words, he thinks in melodies

[Icix1]

He just oozes pure talent. Effortless. It's incredible.

[Fantasticawesomeguy]

I wuv this son so fucking much!

[heimerz]

my brain just exploded

[skatinsteezy]

i feel like i'm going on an adventure

[grocerycart311]

loved that game!

[slippereal]

fucking love this song

[CromDubMonday]

Best album I've ever purchased. It's like he was speaking straight into the thoughts I've already thought.

[gildedintention]

Loving the album cover. Whistling just fits the name bird. he was a bird and then aliens transformed him into a person thus making him genius. by the way all of that being rubbish the music is insane.

[myindiemuse]

kind of reminds me of the start of picnic at hanging rock

[XxComancheKingxX]

dark matter withinspace.

you rock man...

[Yalquzaq87]

Hold tight, this is half storylike plot, half science, half philosophy and best of alll the most articulate piece of music, this guy is the most interesting personality in the show-biz world able to rhyme every freaking science in his own world to make his music up composing them whistling and playing violin.

[to4twentyfour]

@Yalquzaq87 i was thinking the same thing!

[Yalquzaq87]

thank you very much! I'm glad that we still have a lot of people who can eschew what's being sold to masses today, the studio divas becoming flat tire on the live stage whereas real musicians like Andrew are still underestimated because of not being able to fulfill commercial desires of the major labels

[DogNights]

It's unfortunate that more people don't know about him, but nowadays, most can't be bothered to care about philosophy, and the sciences.

[ChadwickLynch]

@DogNights Rather, the best things are best kept secret as father would always say.. .

Just saying.

[trumpetmastaska]

@Yalquzaq87 so basically 15-% awesomness

[kaylashalaylaaaaa]

i love him, i swear he's some kind of genius... and i've always thought his voice was like if you took 50% rufus wainwright and 50% jon foreman, 100% andrew bird. so beautiful

[mylesloves2sing]

@kaylashalaylaaaaa i think you should include jeff buckley too coz he has some vibrato moments which sounds just like him

[littletart00]

happy birthday, andrew bird!

[malevolentvick]

The lyrics in the description are wrong..

Not trying to be anal but lyrics is what makes the song so it'd be nice to get it right..

aha

[QUIVOT]

This song is starting to grow on me.. I still like sweetbreads more..

[BernadineFollano]

Plus I like the way he strums his violin.

[BernadineFollano]

Well I first heard Andrew bird on this great radio station called The Current we have here in Minnesota. He was doing a program with the announcers and talking about how his music just got done and put him into a trance like state where he would just awaken and wonder what he had just done. Wow.

[cerberusgoddog]

that's because he's tripping BALLS!

[CandL181]

maybe hes a genious straight up. not knockin the theory though COULD be valid havent seen any signs during live shows ive watched if anything i could be wrong.....(counterproductive comment wasnt it)

[HenryNavarre]

I heard him on The Current as well! Amazing station :D. Andrew Bird is absolutely great.

[Wolkenkuckucksheim]

great song.

[Malleolust]

Genius.

'Nuff said.

<3

[cookieMage]

im glad my friend introduce me to this guy. He is a GREAT singer

[roysters5]

this is so incredible! i can't believe I heard of him sooner!

[yahweh764]

messed up the lyrics on the side-not a huge deal.

great song.

[Cristiggi]

Is that the album cover? So wonderful... ah.. love it. :)

[savedhaf4u]

from one of the best ever c.d.'s

[snowflake2133]

Andrew Bird, yeah just recently heard of him. Amazoning, rich voice

[savedhaf4u]

You're right. He's amazingly multi-talented.

[chuckooo1]

Amazing. I wish I could whistle and write and sing and play and everything like he can.

[nmdspec]

love this song!!!
