My number one, I think for more than 12 years. Since I first ever listened to his music. Had the chance to go to one of his gigs here in Madrid in... 2016? And still wishing for the next one!!!
Andrew bird is an amazing artist. i enjoy that his lyrics often hold a deep and sometimes cryptic meaning. Chemical switches is one of my favorites, it's interesting to hear his process in creating that song as well as others.
“Over the years people say: music is math. And I’m like, no its not haha. It’s anything but, it’s the antidote to math. I’ve always been unmethodical, intuitive; soaking things up by osmosis. And I take that as far as I can possibly go. -- I find it a messy process, and I like that. - It’s the same reason I don’t like to read music or look at charts, even though we have charts scattered on the floor. I don’t look at them because it is a middle man between me and what has to get done; between me and the audience. ---- Truth with a capital T
Music is the audible math and the beauty of it! But if you get caught in the elegant math of it, you're missing the point! Music is also the burst of a supernova and the opening of a flower and a language. Andrew Bird captures that!
It is! Loved his stuff since he was in Squirrel Nut Zippers! I figured it was that song, but I was just hoping there was a version of that song in particular with the whistling and glockenspiel. Thanks, John!
Bird's first three "bowl of fire" albums were amazing. Since then, he has created good music but not great music. His Quality Six stuff was also very good. He is also fun to watch in concert. But, I wish he would return to the Bowl of Fire mindset.

I've followed Andrew Bird for a long time now and I am compelled to say that this is the best interview I have seen from him. Thank You

Thank you so much for this. You have inspired me to begin trying to learn the violin again.
Fantastic video of a fantastic musician! Thank you so much!
Very talented musician.
And what a beautiful voice he's got
...How did I not know Andrew and Chris Thile were acquainted?
I know Andrew from Fiona Apple and Chris Thile from his Radiohead covers, I love how these artists connect somehow... :P

What song was he playing in the beginning, with the whistling and the glockenspiel? It's beautiful~
It's called "Hole in the Ocean Floor" from his album "Break It Yourself". REALLY good album.

Great interview, love the Birdman, not sure about that hat though
I'm sure he didn't wear it for you tho.
You don't even know.
