My friend gets to see him live this year... so jealous. brb, watching Andrew Bird's, It's not Easy Being Green.

Andrew Bird is awesome . . . one of the best kept secrets in this country, nay, THIS WORLD! Yet they contnue to shove shows like America's got 'talent' and such down the public's throat . . . open your eyes & ears people!

[EloisesBestestBuddy]

Wow.

"What if we hadn't been born at the same time?

What if you were seventy-five and I were nine?

Would I still visit you,

bring you cookies in an old folks' home?

Would you be there alone?"

It doesn't get any purer than that.

[bridgewindsoup]

maybe everything will be ok, you guys

[NoIDontSpeakFrench]

For those of you who are in love with this song, it's been repurposed! Mr. Bird just scored the indie film, "Norman". It's under the title "Night Sky" on the Norman Soundtrack released by Mom + Pop records.

May his gift never be forgotten.

[kevinkrull]

holy shit, I never cry and this came dangerously close to making me do so

[itbetterberavenclaw]

What if we hadn't been each other at the same time?

Would you tell me all the stories from when you were young,

and in your prime?

Would I rock you to sleep?

Would you tell me all the secrets

you don't need to keep?

Would I still miss you?

Would you then have been mine?

This part made me tear up.

[itbetterberavenclaw]

This song gives me goosebumps because it's so good.

[luckyblindshot]

I am man crushing so hard right now.

[samsolor1234]

@TheChickDrummer I can see how this song can be extremely meaningful to you. It is life changing. I listen to at least 50 songs a day and I have no trouble pin pointing this song as the best one among thousands.

[jjb003]

And one person is deaf.

[augustatapadas]

wow!!

[samsolor1234]

hands down the greatest song i've ever heard.

[TheChickDrummer]

@samsolor1234

You know, I feel that way too. But it might be because I had it stuck in my head the day I got engaged.

(I also met my husband because of Andrew Bird.)

[xploreurmind]

@TheChickDrummer Thats really awesome Im legit happy that it went down like that for you haha

[thinkinoftomorrow]

[Whutha1]

His performances are always so perfect it's easy to forget that it's live.
