Take Courage - Andrew Bird

[kiak12]

i find Andre Bird music yesterday by accident while watchign tv,this is a accident i dont regret but i look forward.

[XHotPinkPunkX]

I want him to do me like he plays his violin (with passion) while singing in my ear lolol!

[AwesumSawce]

you should see him live~ I am convinced he's the doctor XD

[axelolson6]

I want to make a movie and have all of his music as its soundtrack....damn copyrights!

[animechick1408]

This song makes me want to just sit, listen, and sway...

[superfly299]

If Nick Urata of DeVotchKa went solo I'd except the album to sound like this.

[dlk190239]

this is such a sad song it made me cry. it fits my situation perfectly...i am so far away and she is suffering so much. i feel like a nazi but i cant help her. i dont even know how to reach her, but she'll never be alone. she'll never be alone...Mia!

[fromtoronto2guelph]

@theachillestendon i think we know more about his sock monkey then we do him

[msgreeneyes161]

I could listen to this all day.. so beautiful. Right now listening to this song while watching the snow fall is quite an experience <3

[EduardoA478]

[eddygoombah]

From these pictures... I think Andrew is Dr Who

[MeLlamoAllison]

I can't even explain how much I love this song. The lyrics, instrumentation, his voice...it's all just perfect.

[MrStillewilly]

My God so beautifull,Pfffffff.

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

What we need to do is save the goddamn whales so they can be featured on more of Andrew's songs :D

[TheVeritaas]

This isn't my style of music. However he is a very talented musician!!!

[galumpha]

Spread this around to your friends in "Occupy."

[tombanger]

@galumpha They'd end up misinterpreting it anyway.



[zirunxsmug]

romantic uwh <3 <3 <3

[radianexplorwalker]

Love it!

[martinmfuchs]

Wonderful

[MadMindStudios]

One person took THE COURAGE to prove they are a shit head.

[lachaloncharon]

I love this man!



[Nintendoof]

Lovely. 

[rthomas08]

Since when are we measuring success by the lack of dislikes? I like it. That's enough! Also, how did I not hear this song? Is it only on the vinyl?

[wigglymonkies]

God, that whistle.

[108egduF]

93,000 views. 1 dislike. I am putting out a hit.

[MrModestmouse94]

How could you dislike this with a straight face and not just kill yourself afterwards for being so terrible at life? This song is fucking brilliant!

[DerPhiL]

<3!!

true story

[misterwatching]

when i listen this song, nights are falling in love with me

[LovetteCher]

I like to think that Andrew Bird gets his inspiration from an angel who is also Andrew Bird.

[Huurpes]

Screw the 1 person who thought it would be funny to dislike a masterpiece.

[steamjerry]

thank you Andrew

[flabson777]

i think the one person who liked this only did it so he could be "that asshole who disliked that Andrew Bird video" whata cuntsack

[ninjaisfast]

@flabson777 Cuntsack...how does that even work. xD

[MissKatieindie]

the 1 person who disliked this is retarted.

[princeoftidds]

@MissKatieindie like the kind of person who misspells retarded?

[MissKatieindie]

@princeoftidds congratulations you can spell! Would you like an award? ;D

[princeoftidds]

@MissKatieindie No, thank you, though. The recognition is enough. Take care.

[itbetterberavenclaw]

I think I'm backed by scientific evidence when I state that the one person who disliked this had the interior of his ear rearranged, the sensory part of his brain altered, and is a monkey.

[Bobjove]

1 person is too gay for Andrew

[sweet13runette]

This is such a beautiful and magical song!! ♥♥♥♥♥It!!!

[MrOrange7536]

one person didn't take courage

[Msmonkilove]

One dislike, who are you?

[itbetterberavenclaw]

This song is absolutely amazing. It's incredible how his music can bring tears to your eyes because it's so beautiful.

[KH2fanatic2010]

Satan disliked this

[kittywittykatt]

@KH2fanatic2010

[ClearBlueSilence]

i get shivers every time I hear this.

[Thatbrownkid510]

that one person can go die...

[iambored1121]

i think the person that disliked this just did it to try and person people off. we all know no one dislikes this song

[steamjerry]

never before hav i so enjoyed music

[krishaaa]

You know how everyone says that you were born with a song? I think this may be mine.

[sorrydadigottago]

This song helps get through the day more than I'd like to admit.

[caraoke20]

:O...magic...music



[kristinp942]

Someone liked this for shits and gigs and for that, they deserve to die.

[Laventear]

@kristinp942 Liked or disliked?

[kristinp942]

@Laventear

Dislike, whoops haha

[aha45]

lol at the picture of him at 4:49

[cheekybuttmonster]

WHO THE FUCK DISLIKED THIS?

[MrrANDOM34]

@cheekybuttmonster lets track them down then tar and feather them!

[OriginalKlubber]

@cheekybuttmonster Someone trying to spite you :D

[Escolicot]

@cheekybuttmonster Some one who has different tastes maybe.

[oHistamine]

@cheekybuttmonster why do we have to concentrate on the negative??

[inaniell1]

that song filled my heart with love.

[rubymylove1]

Such a beautiful song.

[privatepile762]

can't find this on iTunes. How do I get this song (I have noble beast and many others... NEED this song). Thanks!

[tenatopps]

@privatepile762 I downloaded realplayer and it allows me to download songs directly from youtube, so that's how I get whatever songs I can't buy ! You can convert them into mp3's and put them right into your iTunes, it's pretty wonderful

[guilhermesossegado]

Can you see the Dislike Bar? Because I CAN'T!

[jackgibbs1994]

That one prick who just wants to press dislike for a joke... god-damn-it.

[BehindTheSea29]

This song is right next to my heart, forever my most beloved Andrew Bird song. It really does make me feel brave when I need to be, and reminds me of the beautiful disastor, some call it life, happening around everyone, unknowingly or knowingly. But honestly, there's so much emotional that swirls in me when I hear this song, it's impossible to place a name for all of them.

[musicislife571]

fucking amazing is andrew bird. i would marry this man in a heartbeat

[zombieforaday]

Whenever I listen to this song I think of how I would play this on the radio during a zombie apocalypse to keep hope alive in those still alive. Maybe I'm just weird.

[R193L1]

@zombieforaday no i thought of the same thing! :D

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

@zombieforaday I think of that shit now just because you mentioned that X) it makes the song that much more exciting.

[Fonchezzzz]

@zombieforaday I love you.

[Redeadify]

@zombieforaday Hello this is THREE DOG! Bring you the news no matter how bad it hurts! Something like that??

[joaodfardilha]

@zombieforaday you sir are owner of greatness inside your spirit. would love to run from zombies while this was playing...

[Cheeseisgood7789]

@zombieforaday If I ever make a movie about zombies, this is totally going to be the song for the ending slo-mo scene where all of the main characters die painfully

[muumitonhot]

There's something about AB's songs that just get to you, Hypnotizing.

[beeeefa]

AAGgggjh this is just so good

[xXSynchronicityIIXx]

wow, this is absolutely fantastic. I feel like Andrew Bird entirely captures the esence of every emotion in one song, in every piece he makes. It's tearing at you heart but allowing it to leap with joy. Absolutely beautiful...

[MrBrianojee]

This is so bloody good  it's giving me a kind of tourettes impulse to hit the dislike button

I feel naughty :)

[KoekieLi]

This song gives me the hope for the things I've never did and want to do it ! This song gave me answers to my questions and that is that I'm in love with someone that I know that person about 2 years ... but that person is far away from me ... Scared to say it to ...

[mabelle32]

this song just exudes such a positive message...i love it! it gives me hope...

[Murny119]

Ohmygoodness! I am loving this song so much!

[tobymoo]

So listening to Andrew Bird while working on Genetics has made me assume that he is a part Biologist with songs like "Imitosis" and "Fake Palindromes"

[conoley92]

@AnnaRose5225 Ah you jinxed it!

[AnnaRose5225]

@conoley92 of course, it had to be ONE blockhead! :)

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

I like this song because it gives me courage :)

[Sudekai]

Friday is better!  There isn't even any autotuning in this song.

[emilyblesserfly]

WHOAAAA ANDREW BIRD! I...I like this. More than I like Ben Weaver...He almost has a voice similar to that of the singer of Beirut.

[emilyblesserfly]

WHOAAAA ANDREW BIRD! I...I like this. More than I like Ben Weaver...

[MrScientition]

One person is deaf.

[usrnaim]

Andrew Bird's music is nothing less than ethereal. Truly one of the most talented musicians of our time.

[Karina12491]

I'm in love with his music.

It's all just great. He is magical indeed.

[R193L1]

Did anyone else found out about Bird in the OriginalSkateboards trip to Puerto Rico series?

[svenvaeth]

@R193L1 yeah and I'm very thankful about that. They use great music.

[ZomBiezley]

@jykone, this is actually its own song as an entity. it is based off of dissent but also ties into section 8 city. which also has sectionate city as its predecesor. it may seem weird, but I think Ser Bird throws out riffs as songs to make a point that hes making new songs, or that these are the meleodies of his life and he gives us a continual developement of his everchanging styles and loves. I may be drunk. but. all 4 are different songs

[nonesuchone]

We are all very lucky, aren't we?

[silentmelody12]

just incredibly beautiful. no need for words, just play this and let there be peace.

[jpetro99]

I don't understand I just purchased Andrew Bird's Noble Beast album, and there is no bonus track called take courage, or any bonus track for that matter. I am upset!!!!!!

[XxN3MxX]

one of the most underrated artists ever.

[kaylashalaylaaaaa]

thank you so much for posting this!

[AnnaRose5225]

Wow. After 20,000+ views this song has yet to be "disliked". Andrew Bird is magical.

[apocrisia]

@AnnaRose5225 Ups! Wrong button! :D

[AnnaRose5225]

@apocrisia of course, i mean, who would have the audacity to dislike! ;P

[xXsamurai36methodsXx]

@AnnaRose5225  of course one person had to troll an click dislike button -____-

[AnnaRose5225]

@AnnaRose5225 i don't want to jinx it anymore so i'll just say i'm digging the view count!

[TheCapitalLetter]

@AnnaRose5225

Great... now someone disliked just to annoy all the fans...but we know that doesn't count!

[yomanPDC]

@AnnaRose5225 89,000+ views and only 1 dislike! :p

[PhoeFira]

He's to be admired. I'm glad that I am from the same city as him.

[peace4allyo]

I'm gonna listen to the song on my first day of college:].

Even if it's still 2 years away.

[wirelesselectrode]

@peace4allyo Why so? i dont get the point? .....anyway this just another amazing song from this amazing artist !

[peace4allyo]

@wirelesselectrode

Dunno. Just seems like it'd be a good song to help me "take courage" (pardon the pun xD) when I'm leaving home and stuff. Lame, but I like to listen to this when I have to do something hard or something.

[sandra82390]

Me gusta mucho su voz!!

[KayBiskerow]

By the way, apparently this song was available as a bonus track for Noble Beast exclusively on emusic. That fink!

[KayBiskerow]

How did I not know this song existed? Just when I think I've listened to everything by him available here, I find a track to blow my mind all over again. It's as if everywhere he walks he leaves a trail of gold.

Bless Andrew Bird's wandering imagination!

[CutItOutEditing]

I work in a second-hand bookstore and whenever I play this song almost everyone asks what it is. I say the sentence 'The highly talented Andrew Bird' about six times a day. Haha. Love it!

[SuperSquirrl01]

@CutItOutEditing Haha how wonderful!

[TheyMakeMeHappy]

I really like this song, and i love it's title. I really need to take courage cuz im really shy, and i let that keep me from many life changing stuff

[kaylashalaylaaaaa]

andrew bird why are you so sexy! and why don't i have this song, i have noble beast?! it isn't even on the deluxe two-disc edition...

[doulamommie]

where can i find this song?? i looked on itunes and on all his albums. its not anywhere =(

[mirto19]

μα, δεν είναι πανέμορφος?

[KailzIsOmg]

He's quite a good looking fellow

[diddlybop]

I think Andrew Bird is beautiful inside and out. I don't know him but it seems impossible to me that this kind of music would come from someone who isnt beautiful inside too.

[bestiablue]

Has anyone noticed how the end almost sounds like whale calls? It's absolutely magnificent!

[bosle41]

@bestiablue The end is a part from the song "Dissent" from the bonus Album "Useless Creature". Nevertheless it sounds like whale calls.

[GreenvoxLizzy]

picture at 0:42 is sooo cute!

[doulamommie]

@GreenvoxLizzy omg its such a great pic. everytime it pops up i smile =)

[kochy91]

same chords from his other bonus track on Noble Beast, Section 8 City... cool!

[peace4allyo]

Happy song:]

[skatinsteezy]

take courage.

[verona123]

He does not only make good music, he also has great style!

[hippityhop05]

I love this song. The lyrics' hopeful tone and the tune behind them make it beautiful.

[Turrreena]

Gorgeous song. It makes me feel hope.

[nyan69]

greatness.. love it!! =D

[awhitestripe]

weird. the ending of this is the beginning of dissent. thank you for posting it!

[karaninakaramazov]

Thanks for posting this. Great photos and song.
