Andrew Bird - Cataracts

[thinktoomuchto]

Why does a soft, sad, acoustic indie song like this have a shitty rap song showing girls booty popping at home for an advertisement? Its actually destroying the peace of the song. Now witness the fall of youtube for all the music lovers as its replaced with ads and sex like everything else... sigh...

[TheJeffersonE]

2:10-2:23 is my favorite part.

[travlynn08]

Lyrical and harmonic excellence. Ae you listening? Mixed blessings.

Cataracts  uahsuahsuahsahsu

[quadrophenic999]

is it just me or does this song basically say: speak your mind, stand up for your rights, and don't get complacent or your rights will be gone and it will be painful when you see the truth of it?

seems very appropriate for what has been going on for so long now. government/corporations have slowly been encroaching on our way of life and it's starting to hurt.

Bono hit the dislike button...

[jazzyguy22]

[RypeMango]

@jazzyguy22 that is very touching, I may never know you but I'm very sorry for your loss :(

[KickinRadProductions]

The one dislike is Zach.

[roxtar55]

This song reminds me of my late Grandma. I miss you Grandma Anne <3 and the waffles you made (:

[CommissarTom]

I swear at 1:40 that bird gets larger :)

[KB12456]

@CommissarTom The bird gets bigger throughout the entire song :) Then it shrinks again

[lpseudonyml]

I would really like to see Andrew Bird and Iron & Wine do something live together. Cataracs and Sea & Ryhthym, Samuel Beam singing Armchairs slowly. Andrew Bird singing Jesus the Mexican Boy. Anyways, amazing song, and amazing artist.

[Phanie2121]

omg!! this song is cool! :D

[Grainne7C]

This song has had 0 dislikes, finally some sense on youtube!

Ive never been the type of person to come across lesser known artists who are really great, but im so happy Andrew Bird is my first!

[ceve23]

its not on itunes

[peaceLUVbarbies]

@ceve23 yeah it is

[insanityvideoskid]

For a while I thought the cover was the inside of a cave on the ocean shore at sunset or something (like it was Photoshopped). It looked to me like some kind of fossilized footprint for a while, too, but I think it's a bird of some sort. After all, he is Andrew BIRD.

[Grainne7C]

@insanityvideoskid haha I can totally see what you mean now ive looked at it like that. Its the back of a budgie

[ceve23]

does anyone know where you can buy this?

[insanityvideoskid]

@ceve23 Download it from iTunes.

[EscapDAfate]

the cover is a parakeet

[stephiel1995]

omg

[anellostella]

I'm pretty sure it's not an owl because of the blueish color mixed in.

[SkiethxEpitaph]

@peace4allyo maybe your right :P

[peace4allyo]

Did he redo this song or is the the redone version?

[ilikegoodmusicalot]

andrew bird cures insomiac(: i swear.

[ageofthoughts]

@ilikegoodmusicalot Insomnia is what you meant. And I agree.

[SkiethxEpitaph]

i like the cover, you can tell it's an owl, but you don't know for sure since his head it turned

[peace4allyo]

@SkiethxEpitaph

I thought it was a parakeet xD.

[thesquatpen]

the sounds, the wordplay, the imagery, the way he mumbles... this song is beautiful

[eeellieblossom]

So beautiful, just like everything he does. One day he will come to NZ...

[MarthaMyDear64]

Great Song! this is the first time I hear it and I already like it a lot!

[aduma123]

[jackiebegoood]

[etakily]
