[Llop8]

orgasmic!

[Omgberto]

Man, this is the exact video that got me hooked on Andrew Bird. This man is a genius; one I will be forcing my children to listen to.

[BehindTheSea29]

Yes, I love these sessions.

[aha45]

fuck dats good. By the way, do we know for sure that Bird isn't a stagelastname?

[beckyheartsjosh]

warms my soul.

[kifn2]

In 1961, The Beatles all had sex with Edith Pilaf. The resulting progeny was Andrew Bird.

[snyder42093]

[msinlove81]

The riff he starts at 1:28 breaks me. He makes that violin weep.

[95PercntDeprogrammed]

Soothing to the soul... I found Andrew Bird watching a kids show with my son and have been a fan ever since. This melody reaches gently inside of your body and massages your soul.... ahhhhhhhhhhh

[sethfafa]

this is the same intro aesthetic as take courage, maybe its like I and imitosis, same song differnt format

[BehindTheSea29]

@sethfafa That's what I was thinking, too.

[loganriscool]

I love it when he's starts to dance sort of at 2:14, just flowing around with his music

[bonbonbonification]

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS!?!?!? I can't seem to find this performance anywhere!!

[DerekGuenther]

@bonbonbonification It's a series called "From the Basement" produced by Nigel Godrich (famous mostly for producing many Radiohead and Beck albums). The website is fromthebasement.tv and I believe you can buy DVDs of all the full performances. The series is famous for making the best recordings ever.

[Bedslumper]

How does this only have 25,783 views? I've probably watched it 25,000 times

[Lucretius42]

@Bedslumper Your views are mighty appreciated, then!

[TheOldtreecheckmate]

A true artist, his works make the world a better place. Andrew Bird makes me want to be a better person.

[lufc550]

1:30 he starts playing those high notes, feels like his violin is crying. That's real emotions being represented through an instrument, and true musician. Favourite Andrew Bird song

[ZomBiezley]

I wish this was the version that was being sold on itunes

[ITipCowsWorldWide]

@zayaspablo1 No shut up with the Justin Beiber jokes already.

[zayaspablo1]

@ITipCowsWorldWide make me. no seriously why are there dislikes in this song?

[dearestnora]

His talent and passion never ceases to leave me in awe. I watch him play for hours and never tire of it.

[chocogirl105]

Heehee. Happy memories.

[Timewaverider1984]

when i listen to andrew,i can say im listening to actual music.

[TheNimasan]

he is a genius!!!!

[midgetman9942]

So relaxing, I could seriously listen to this forever.

[dancetoska]

I'm sad that they took this video down from the site. Two years later and it still gives me chills.

[kaylashalaylaaaaa]

how is it that he has not gotten the recognition he deserves. he is gloriously talented.

[pooponmyfacefetish]

@kaylashalaylaaaaa I think that fits his personality. He's a shy guy. I'm not sure he needs to be world renowned, though his genius does deserve it.

[kksproat17]

i think i'll follow along on me ukulele

[noise4yt]

Wish I could do that...

[Omgberto]

Looks like 3 people missed the "Like" button.

[ageofconceit]

I clicked "Like" when I meant to click "I Really, Really Love This. A Lot."

[jstema]

[UpsetGoldfish]

I'm pissed that I missed him in concert here.

this is beautiful.

[notnoah007]

[aprilbloom1]

I actually love his head-bopping at the beginning

[aprilbloom1]

I saw this song live and loved it, but didn't know what it was! Finally found it!

[disposition27]

I'm in love.

[mysticalmoon111]

absolutely, wonderfully, simply- BRILLIANT.

[NihilAdmirari]

[MindControll]

this video deserves like 8000000 views

[carouselambra7]

SEEING HIM TOMORROW. I'm so excited, i might cry.

[Googolagahummike]

Bonnaroo? Lucky.

[hippityhop05]

Call me ignorant, but is this a new song? It's the first time I've heard it. Very beautiful (and catchy)!

[Jykone]

It's a bonus track from Noble Beast, so yes, it's pretty recent. And I definitely agree, it's really a enchanting song.

[hippityhop05]

Ah, I see. Cool.

I don't think I have it on my edition of Noble Beast, but maybe it's one of the songs in my free iTunes download I have yet to use. I'll have to see.

[dancetoska]

This song is called "Section 8 City." Sectionate City is a track on the Soldier On EP. :)

[Lucretius42]
