one of the greatest love songs... human frailty vs commitment and the struggles to figure it out as time continues passing ... and we are in it, for such a time as this.
Lovely, and spot-on observation. I've always thought of this song that way. And as much as I love Talking Heads, I feel like the Lumineers took this up a level. 😊
Please please please check out his album The Mysterious Production of Eggs. Listen to the whole thing straight through in one sitting if you can. One of the best albums ever made, hands down. One of the other best albums is: the Lumineers’ 10 part song/music video (basically 10 expertly produced short films) recent “album” called Trilogy. I put album in quotes because you _have to watch the videos._
Its been close to 2 years since i discovered this. Been coming back every month or so to listen to it because this is damn well the best cover of any song ever made
@@angelalawler5816 Thanks Doll, just got my Alexa and I'm fixated on all the music (old to Contemporary)and different (Genre). Don't think I would want to live without music.

@@garriecortelyou9280 I'm so glad you're enjoying all that's out there. I'm with you, I hope music follows me on my next journey, too. Please stay well and be happy. Hugs
Thank You 🙏 to Andrew Bird and Thank You ☺️ where would we be without The Lumineers? What a great 👍 combo. I love the pizz in unison with the whistles. Thank You 🙏 for all you give! Thank You for always being the lights that shine in the darkness. Forever. Thank You ☺️
One of my favourite, all-time songs ! ✨🙀✨I am amazed that this turned up in my feed ✨🙀✨! Such a ✨Beautiful!✨, 💞heart-felt💞 reinterpreting of this Talking Heads song. I L♥️VE this group !!!!!! David Byrne is one of those ultimate artists for me. How he can articulate the ineffable with such simplicity and playfulness... Life is more interesting and enjoyable with humanity like David Byrne and all of U who "⚡️gets" him. 🕉 💟 ☮️ ✨🧚🏼✨
I love this song soooo much by the Talking Heads! The whistles are ofc perfect 👌! It’s Andrew Bird! This song is everything. I’m so glad you covered it In this set. J’adore 🥰
The Talking Heads are one of the greatest Rock and Roll bands ever. They belong in the same conversations as the Rolling Stones and The Beatles. That being said, I never understood how deep and incredible this song was until I heard this version.
No one can whistle as well as Andrew Bird especially these days. Yes it’s so difficult. You can shred on the fiddle. Start with boil the cabbage down! You will blow yourself outta the water Brian Pittman! God gives you the desires of your heart. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
@@reGood I’m always running behind too. Thank You ☺️ so much for this rare and precious treasure we have in you and your channel and the music you give and share with us. You are appreciated more than you will ever know.
Dionysus6969 I doubt it’s possible. I always joke that I have P.D.S. (punctuality disability syndrome!) 😂 Not a real deal actually, I just call it that. And nothing seems to effect it. It’s just the musician in me? Always wanting to come in on 2 I suppose. Haha I need to be there way before the 1... anyway you’re funny 😆 Thank You for the levity. S’Good!
Hey 👋 Jake~ all I know is The original song is by Talking Heads. I think it’s ‘86? Not sure 🤔, but yes this version oh man, the intro with whistles instead of the flute sound/modulators is amazing 😉 and every single note is nailed. Perfect 👌 for Perfect! Thank You 🙏 to re:Good for your channel. Thank You Andrew Bird! Thank You ☺️ to The Lumineers! What a treat. Just discovered today. But it’s been in my heart forever...”I guess I’ve just been having fun!” -- David Byrne
Yes!!! Talking Heads! Oh Amen to that! Probably maybe my favorite??? Idk there’s so much to choose from especially David Byrne rep. It’s just oh come on! And these two groups together, they are stand alone so well, and yes, “TWO, can put 10,000 to flight.” ❤️ love this combo. Maybe they will write an album together and then it will be more than “once in a lifetime.”...Talking Heads;)
How sad. If you don't like it that's cool, but seriously, it is the furthest thing from cheese.... Do you mean the original Talking Heads version or this cover? Or both?
I played this at my partner's memorial service on October 8, 2022. We both loved your music. Thank you, dear Andrew!
2 artists that I adore
WHY THE HELL HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS??????
This is one of those things you don’t know you need until you stumble upon it. Thank you, UA-cam, for bringing this to me.
Home, studying online. I do a little break, in my Backyard in Switzerland watching the Mountains and listen to this treasure i just found. Thank you
Pleasure is all mine. It's great how music connects people around the world.

Two of my favorite bands covering one of my favorite songs of one of the best bands in the 80s
OH MY GOD IM SO UPSET THAT I DIDNT SEE THIS EARLIER BUT IM SO HAPPY I FOUND IT
My fav song from all times.... can´t believe that a show like Fargo led me to Andrew Bird´s music and to this sweet cover. Thanks internet!

My absolute goodness. This has to be the best most beautiful thing I’ve heard this month 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Great version of one of my favourite songs ever ............ ❤
Since the wonderful Tiny Desk Concert i love this Guy.
One of my all time favorite songs. What an incredible cover. How am I just now discovering this?
Ditto
Where has this been all my life?
This is a badass song. Can't get tired of it
One of the best covers I have ever heard.
A perfect rendition of timeless.
Bird can whistle like no one’s business
Hence the name
My favorite cover of the Heads. Ever.
yes
look up tiny home. it’s better

How come they do not tour together !!! Awesome !
They should write an album together
Agreed!
I’m blown away!!!
I thought I’d heard all the bird!!
Belts it out!
Wow
Loved the original but these is great also.
so much talent in one video
I wish I could love this 100X over...
This is amazing!
Omg why am I just now finding this?! 🤯
Probably in part because I haven't used any sophisticated ad service yet. :)
Really, REALLY hard to cover, despite the song's depth and beauty--this is a mystery. Thank you, friends. You sound good!
Check out Sean Hayes version ua-cam.com/video/2xiHWKdNZto/v-deo.html
Thank you
This is a fucking gem
This was our song.
Geniaal
Bro where did you find this? How is it that nobody talked about this cover back in the day? Its absolutely amazing.
It is on Andrew Bird's Facebook page. I'll add the link to the descriptions someday.
I know right? This is amazing!

I wish I could whistle that well 😕...and shred a violin

Whistling is another word for annoying
Is where I want to be.
But I guess I'm already there.
@@reGood 💓
👏👏👏💚🌟

where has this video been hiding??
On Andrew's Facebook page, and then on this page, waiting for UA-cam algorithm to show it to you. :)
Flashing blades
Is there a better quality version of this song somewhere?
I'd recommend you to check out the album version of the Lumineers' cover of this song, or the original by Talking Heads.
@@reGood yes, good too, but really like the colab with Andrew Bird
Too bad the audio quality on this is lacking. It is a great cover.
@2:00 Andrew fucks up the lyric "Never for money" and the drummer looks at him because he know he fucked up.
There's either a one second lag between image and music, or, I've smoked too much. Can you ever smoke too much? What page were we on?
Did you sober up? If so, do you still experience a lag?

2017, it’s originally from Andrew’s series “live from the great room”

Why so long?..... but thank you.
Who else whistled along?
Not sure that to this song, but I do it often to Andrew's music. :)
Really.. WHO DIDN'T ????
♥️🤙🌻🦄At Last, pro whistling..Primo !
Density anti muso
Love the song but this version does nothing for me. Sorry.
tiny home covers this song and it’s much better. this was strained and rushed. feels very unpracticed.
Great song/cover, no doubt these folks are incredibly talented.. this style is just not for me. Ruins the song
Sorry guys, Im not convinced by this cover. You can’t beat this Talking Head’s original. The only band who did a good effort doing so was Arcade Fire.
This would be pretty good if the lumineers weren’t in it
and this comment section would be better if you weren't in it but i guess we can't pick and choose lmao
Could do with a bit less of the whistling but rest is nice.
Mainstream cheese. Ikea music for the millennials and gen x’ers
How sad. If you don't like it that's cool, but seriously, it is the furthest thing from cheese.... Do you mean the original Talking Heads version or this cover? Or both?
Average version in my opinion
I love the Talking Heads and Andrew Bird but this is awful. Borderline disrespectful to the genius that is this song in its original arrangement.
stfu edgelord
No, it respects it by not giving it the same feeling and sound. Both are unique. Like Johnny Cash and Nine Inch Nails with the song Hurt
Beautiful.
This is so awesome!!
