It's back! This video had vanished, but now it's back! :') This is definitely one of the most wonderful sounds in the entire universe. Andrew Bird is pure magic.
what i get a kick outta him the most is that he always changes the tempo and the flow of his songs when he does a live performance. it's tough to make a song seem like something totally different, but still make it sound like nothing's changed. well done andrew.
+Kevin Allen I find myself moving between both. I'll leave it alone for a while then obsess over it again for a while. With headphones on man it's pure eargasm. The strings at the end are one of the only things I've heard that can bring me to tears pretty much every time.
Going to see him for my fourth time this summer in Boston. Every time he puts on a great show!! Andrew if you're reading this we'd love to see you play Lowell at the old mill building again!!
Will see Andrew Bird live in 1 week in great venue. Third time. Once saw him solo in a very small venue, but he only played for 35 minutes. He and 2 other musicians/bands were stepping in for a cancelled show. The sad thing was he played for shortest time and was, far far and away, much better than the 2 groups that followed him. He's put on a fantastic live show each time. Love introducing people to his music. Just keep spreading the word.
@BirdTheJunior i heard him on world cafe today and he said as a child he was a classical musci geek, lol but got into high school and moved into other areas. David Dye asked what he liked of pop he said the White Album and some Dylan stuff. Glad his mom or whoever encouraged such a talent...
dude where can I get a copy of this. I used to watch this over and over again...rediscovered/remembered it out of the blue and it's as amazing as it was the first time I heard it
I always listen to musicans like Radiohead, Andrew Bird, ect. who have the quiet patience to feel the music that when it comes out it's just utter inspiration that brings with it it's own aspirations and warmth, it's simply beautiful.
So I was flicking through the channels late one night, and accidentally stumbled across this performance. I lay on the couch, under a blanket, and just watched in awe as he picked up that violin and played the most beautiful piece of music ever to come out of my television set. This, my friends, is what it sounds like to put love into your music.
i get really lonely at the end of this video. in those seconds before i hit replay, it's as if every love i've ever had has walked away from me, and hearing this music again is the only way they'll come back. so here goes nothing.
Every note, a prayer; time unwound; eternal life, travelers.
how does this only have 15,000 views...he's a musical mastermind and the whole world should listen to him.
His violin solo at the end just makes me want to cry.
Holy crap. This guy just might be the most musically gifted person I've ever heard.
It's back! This video had vanished, but now it's back! :')
This is definitely one of the most wonderful sounds in the entire universe. Andrew Bird is pure magic.
I have been waiting for this for so long
Right??! I'm so overly happy right now, it's unreal.
The end of this song is pure heaven, there's no other way to describe it.
he puts his soul on this. and his soul is beatiful
One man orchestra. Unbelievable.
what i get a kick outta him the most is that he always changes the tempo and the flow of his songs when he does a live performance. it's tough to make a song seem like something totally different, but still make it sound like nothing's changed. well done andrew.
ive been crying for 15 minutes this is the mostamazing thing ive seen iny life
+Kevin Allen i still don't know if i never wanna see this again cuz it'll never be as good as the first or if i wanna watch it every day til i die
+Kevin Allen I find myself moving between both. I'll leave it alone for a while then obsess over it again for a while. With headphones on man it's pure eargasm. The strings at the end are one of the only things I've heard that can bring me to tears pretty much every time.
This song inspires me so much. It actually helps me to restore faith in humanity. :D
Andrew Bird is a wonderful musiciian
The best kind of love...to fall in love with a song. Thank you Andrew Bird for all the emotions you’ve brought into this world
How can anyone dislike this, it's so perfect.
He's a genius, I can't really think of another way to describe Andrew Bird
Mesmerizing, this never gets old.
Damn. I am always amazed by his live performances. His timing is ridiculously spot on and groovy, too.
Damn. Once he stops singing and starts looping the violin, that's just pure mesmerizing.
Straight up banger
This song makes me fall in love with music again.
Andrew Bird.The Big Chill 2009.Sunday afternoon.A beautiful summer's day.Amazing vibe! I was there.
Far beyond the word 'beautiful', beyond any words... well at least in my vocabulary... it's PRECIOUS TERRITORY indeed ❤
Going to see him for my fourth time this summer in Boston. Every time he puts on a great show!! Andrew if you're reading this we'd love to see you play Lowell at the old mill building again!!
I'll be seeing him on the 6th in Boulder, CO. If he doesn't play this live, I'll cry.
One of the single greatest displays of musical talent. Can;t say I'm a huge fan, but I appreciate his work and always come back to this video

I always listen to musicans like Radiohead, Andrew Bird, ect. who have the quiet patience to feel the music that when it comes out it's just utter inspiration that brings with it it's own aspirations and warmth, it's simply beautiful.
Coming from an 11 year old who is surrounded by awful songs playing all day, this is so awesome :'D
now that you're older, do you still feel this way about music? just curious
about Andrew Bird’s music, specifically.
So euphoric.
I feel alive when hear this version of the song.
So I was flicking through the channels late one night, and accidentally stumbled across this performance. I lay on the couch, under a blanket, and just watched in awe as he picked up that violin and played the most beautiful piece of music ever to come out of my television set. This, my friends, is what it sounds like to put love into your music.
gives me goosebumps once his voice hits the mic
Muy bueno lo tuyo "Gran pájaro silbador" !
Me pareció muy bueno¡¡¡¡¡¡
He's one of those musicians who sound better live than they do in their album recordings.
just stumbled on this from Shaws' ""Arms and the Man"...never heard of Andrew Bird but really nice intro to him.
great
4:18, my goodness is that wonderfully beautiful.
OMFG!
I respect people that don´t think like me, I just can´t respect people who don´t think at all - the ones who disliked this video
now its eleven, this song is just too good for them to handle.
@CleanX409 it's a violin, but violas are just as beautiful ;)
This is my feel sad, want to feel happy song.
my brain is melting.
@amrohijjawi both amazing musicians!
É o Cara. The One...
@MusicTheAccount I totally agree.
@r92cab I agree! He looks so nice in it.
I... he's... wow.
I like the way he sang it on the studio version better, but the intro loops here were perfect.
eargasm
Now that is what u call a freestyle ladies and gentlemen!
Sounds like I died and woke up in Heaven. Stunning!!
i get really lonely at the end of this video. in those seconds before i hit replay, it's as if every love i've ever had has walked away from me, and hearing this music again is the only way they'll come back.
so here goes nothing.
I had this song with the volume way up and the birds all came to my window
what if andrew bird was literally a bird once
That'd explain the whistling.
what if this comment was a bird once
Craw?
What if he was a Ndrew once?
What if we all had wings just once
I love how he just kicks his shoes aside at the end.
