u aint showing em andrew bird? cant show em Andrew Bird bein all angry bruh, either u aint gonna look very angry or Andrew Bird gonna look like angry music and my boi aint strum one angry chord on here
I have been listening to this song a few times a day since last week. Yesterday my wife passed and this song became so much more significant. I will play at her services. Now she’s in the air radical and free Neither here nor there She’s obliged to no one Rest well, babe.
Quick story. I had never heard of Andrew Bird. I went to an Ani DiFranco concert in 2005 and Andrew Bird opened for her and came out to do his one man show. He came out in a suit with a violin and looked like he might be ready to do magic tricks. I was intrigued. Then he put on one of the best performances I'd ever seen. Me and my friends we literally falling all over each other in amazement. We were floored! Then Ani DiFranco came out and I couldn't concentrate on her music at all. I wanted Andrew Bird to come back out. After a few songs, I went out to the lobby, bought the Mysterious Production of Eggs CD from the merch table and left so I could listen to it in the car. And still...he floors me.
What kind of bottom feeding NPCs are liking this inane entry in a lame brains diary? Holy fuckin shit am I glad I'm not so fucking stoopid and self obssessed to think anybody cares about an Ani DiFranco concert experience like you and your open weeping soggy asshole my gay dood.
I know why it makes me shiver. Just before I found this piece, I was reading a bit on Luiseno culture, and learned that for them, ghosts retain all the power they had in life, but lack any of the social restraints. That is, they can still affect the world as they could when they were still alive, but freed by death from any sense of community or social responsibility, they can be as nasty and petty and vindictive as they want to be. Nicety is a social construct, and ghosts are no longer obliged to be nice to anyone. If "she" is the Earth...
Been havin a tough time in my early twenties, as a lot of people do. This music video is one of the best I've seen in awhile. It and the song have brought me to tears. I feel overwhelmingly grateful to have the privilege to experience art such as this and for amazing artists and musicians everywhere who aren't afraid to share a piece of their world and make everyone just a little bit closer.
I’m coming to the edge of the widest canyon My companion's dear I’m starting to question my manifest destiny My claim to this frontier I’m coming to the brink of a great disaster End just has to be near The earth spins faster, whistles right past you Whispers death in your ear Don’t pretend you can’t hear Don’t pretend you can’t I can hear your tendrils still digging For everything that’s walked this earth once living Then to be exhumed and burned to vapor Can you save her? Now she’s in the air Radical and free Neither here nor there She’s obliged to no one She’s obliged to no one Yeah, yeah I’m coming to the edge of a rising ocean Such commotion and fear Keeping all our eyes on what’s on the horizon And all that we hold dear I’m coming to the brink of a great disaster End just has to be near The Earth spins faster, whistles right past you Whispers death in your ear Don’t pretend you can’t hear Don’t pretend you can’t I can hear your tendrils still digging For everything that’s walked this earth once living Then to be exhumed and burned to vapor Can you save her? She’s in the air Radical and free Not a goddamn care She’s obliged to no one She’s obliged to no one Oh, no Don’t pretend you can’t hear Don’t pretend you can’t hear
A perfect song. I've been waiting for something of this beauty and power for several years, the past few of which have been difficult for obvious reasons. The lyrics here are so profound and necessary - a clear and pleading lament for our planet and the climate change we're submitting it to.
The Brain - is wider than the Sky - For - put them side by side - The one the other will contain With ease - and You - beside - The Brain is deeper than the sea - For - hold them - Blue to Blue - The one the other will absorb - As Sponges - Buckets - do - The Brain is just the weight of God - For - Heft them - Pound for Pound - And they will differ - if they do - As Syllable from Sound - Emily Dickinson
This song has brought me to tears so many times - It used to put a spring in my step whenever I went for a walk with my dog in the cold night, the rhythm fitting well with her joyful walk after I finished work and could finally walk around with her, looking for cats, wanting to stay just a bit more but never insisting if I was too tired - she had been with me since the day she was born, 10 years ago, on the day of my birthday. Her smart eyes struck me since she was just a puppy and we've been through a third of my life together, hiking, exploring, by my side even as I worked. We moved across an ocean together and she was such a pillar of trust and someone for me to rise out of bed every day. Six months after we moved, she died of leukemia - the vets didn't see it coming, despite us taking her there multiple times. Now this song has evolved and wrapped around my loss like a warm blanket. It both warms me and it's something I can cry on, and it's hopeful undertones help me see past all the pain. I don't know when the pain is going to stop, if it will ever stop, but I'll keep my eyes on what's on the horizon, and hang on to the hope and pain this life and this song bring me.
i grew up around hip hop and r n b, but allways have had a passion for indy, alternative. so on so forth.. this guy is a fucking genius... what a tune..
One of the best days of my entire life, if not the singular most fantastical, was the day this album was released. I had just fallen madly in love with someone, while beginning to reconfigure who I was and how the life that fills us behaves; the re-emergence after the depths of shadow. I had done it, and my soul was having a celebratory season that I will always look back on to reflect with a smile on my face. I lived in Las Vegas at the time, and it was raining that morning. I listened to this song on the way to the UNLV after finding my call to study anthropology. I laughed and cried in wonder the entire drive.
i lost my dad and later my mum in less than two years. i just can't help thinking about them, everything could be a brutal trigger. i tried to comfort me and my sister with a thought that they are always by our side because we are from them, just give yourself a hug, if you miss them so bad.i hugged myself once writing this comment. Thank you for crafting the song.
i miss everything, i miss my parents, i miss my cat, i miss my friends, i miss my old lil birthday parties, i miss myself. well, that was before covid, now i miss those times i wrote that.
@@ppgang1694 yeah, that's the how the life does to you i guess. i have life going on and have another life which i feel stuck in. i feel like i better leave everything behind me and start a fresh one by i dunno like going to another country or something like that but im not sure as always..
kursat, i guess I don't miss anything I have never felt anything good enough to miss but I'm so envious of those who have most of my memory is blocked by traumatic memories but I know one thing watching the sunrise listening to this song and just thinking is the closest to bliss I will ever come
I came back to this song after losing what I held most dear on our planet. I'm terminally ill BUT found my "heart home." My ashes were to be given to the river there but ALL of my beloved paradise was just was obliterated by the Dixie Fire. @AndrewBird and good souls, what are we going to DO, NOW?
I love songs about Science, Philosophy and our place in the world and in the universe as a whole. I feel like I'm constantly falling towards alienation and conformity, and for me, that is terrifying Dunno exactly why I'm saying this, but why not, right?
Listen to this song, I’m both so happy and sad at the same time. Happy because the song is beautiful and resonates with my thoughts, I felt understood. Sad because it’s not an optimistic outlook.
i see the meaning of the song as the continuation of life is inevitable no matter what form it takes and as time passes by life tangos with death in an endless cycle to create beauty in the universe, order where there shouldn't be
What a gorgeous song and an incredible animation! I love how the artist incorporated all the life before us into those colors, and then somehow pulled off a happy, beautiful turn at the end when the ghosts all finally get to float around, after being "exhumed and burned", but yet they are drawn happy because "finally she is free". Beautiful work! The whole album is fantastic!
I think their happiness is ironic because they're going to murder us. "She’s in the air / Radical and free /Not a goddamn care / She’s obliged to no one" > The meaning is that the chemistry of the CO2 emissions is going to fuck us because "she" (Death, or the Dead, everything that WAS alive before) has "no obligation" to us, to our well-being. Free radicals: a) contribute to global warming and b) are believed to be the cause of aging in living beings: in other words, they're bad news, death incarnate.
This song is some Beatles-Abbey Road level music imho! Told my brother that this reminds me of the beginning/history of life and then i watched the video lol. Hole Nutha Lvl. This is the type of music i want to be playing while i ascend to the next realm of existence! thx Mr Bird.
I thought this album was okay sitting through it. Listening to this song as a single makes me want to listen to the rest of it again and again, study and analyze it like I've done with Mysterious Production... Andrew has released a fine piece of work. Is it his finest work? I have such a deep love for mysterious production of eggs. That album grabbed me immediately. But this album is growing on me the more I discover about it. Andrew Bird is a fascinating creature and I cant believe I dont know more people who even know this guy. Hes one of the best American songwriters today and his touring show is enthralling. If yall ever get a chance to see this man play live do yourself a favor and go.
Si perdiera la memoria, rezaría porque está canción sea una de las pocas cosas que recuerde al perder la memoria, es una obra de arte, me destroza desde adentro mientras camino observando las calles, la ciudad, las personas, me hace pedazos, pero al terminar de escucharla, me purga, me deja limpio, Cómo nuevo.
This one could be a song by Fleetwood Mac, but it's Andrew Bird, and I love both of them!!! I love all your new album, Andrew. Thank you for being a great muscian.
Brilliant as always. Been a fan for the past ten years (I actually left a comment on your older “why” video from 10 years ago), here’s to 10 more years of brilliance.
Andrew et al. You're music is just spectacular. Sad we're gonna miss you at Red Rocks - Morrison this year, but wish you the very best and look forward to future opportunities. Keep making beautiful music please and thank you for everything past and present. Cheers!
I love you radically ..you beautiful bird. Tenderly..with tendrils..nothing is permanent..not power from the depths of a heart. Yeats, A bird told me all about you. 🐦
This song addresses philosophical themes such as destiny, death, freedom, responsibility, and man's relationship with nature. The first line "I come to the edge of the widest canyon" suggests that the author is facing an important obstacle, represented by a canyon, which may symbolize the finitude and limit of human existence. The following line, "My companion is dear", can be interpreted as a reference to the importance of human relationships in life. The third line, "I begin to question my manifest destiny", suggests that the author is questioning the belief in an inevitable destiny, and perhaps the conception of life as a predetermined path to follow. The line "My claim on this border" can be interpreted as an allusion to the notion of ownership and possession, often associated with the idea of borders. The lines "The earth turns faster, whistles just in front of you / Whispers death in your ear" evoke the impermanence and fragility of human life, as well as the constant proximity of death. The author seems to invite the listener not to turn a blind eye to this reality and to become aware of the finitude of existence. The chorus, "She is beholden to no one", evokes the notion of freedom, absence of constraint, and independence. This can be interpreted as an allusion to the relationship between man and nature, suggesting that nature is free and independent of man, and that it is important to respect this freedom. In conclusion, this song addresses important philosophical themes such as destiny, death, freedom, responsibility, and man's relationship with nature. It invites the listener to become aware of the finitude of existence and to respect the freedom of nature.

@Jason lane Strength
Right as I saw this comment, those lyrics came up
I'm so sorry for you, may your wife in peace
I like that his last name is Bird and that he whistles in his songs. Don't pretend you can't hear.
I am a fan of his, and out of curiosity looked up if that was just a stage name because he whistles so well. It's his real name, even cooler.

My companion's dear
I’m starting to question my manifest destiny
My claim to this frontier

End just has to be near
The earth spins faster, whistles right past you
Whispers death in your ear

Radical and free
Neither here nor there
She’s obliged to no one

Yeah, yeah
I’m coming to the edge of a rising ocean
Such commotion and fear
Keeping all our eyes on what’s on the horizon
And all that we hold dear
I’m coming to the brink of a great disaster
End just has to be near
The Earth spins faster, whistles right past you
Whispers death in your ear
Don’t pretend you can’t hear
Don’t pretend you can’t

Oh, no
Don’t pretend you can’t hear

What an amazing style; hairs stand on end. Andrew Bird's lyrics are immaculate and fitting and instrumentation satisfying.
I love the way this sounds like it could of easily been released in the 70's.

Very nice song.
This song addresses philosophical themes such as destiny, death, freedom, responsibility, and man's relationship with nature. The first line "I come to the edge of the widest canyon" suggests that the author is facing an important obstacle, represented by a canyon, which may symbolize the finitude and limit of human existence. The following line, "My companion is dear", can be interpreted as a reference to the importance of human relationships in life.
The third line, "I begin to question my manifest destiny", suggests that the author is questioning the belief in an inevitable destiny, and perhaps the conception of life as a predetermined path to follow. The line "My claim on this border" can be interpreted as an allusion to the notion of ownership and possession, often associated with the idea of borders.
The lines "The earth turns faster, whistles just in front of you / Whispers death in your ear" evoke the impermanence and fragility of human life, as well as the constant proximity of death. The author seems to invite the listener not to turn a blind eye to this reality and to become aware of the finitude of existence.
The chorus, "She is beholden to no one", evokes the notion of freedom, absence of constraint, and independence. This can be interpreted as an allusion to the relationship between man and nature, suggesting that nature is free and independent of man, and that it is important to respect this freedom.
In conclusion, this song addresses important philosophical themes such as destiny, death, freedom, responsibility, and man's relationship with nature. It invites the listener to become aware of the finitude of existence and to respect the freedom of nature.
Great music
Heard the first notes and was like: "ooh I feel like this song is going to be my next heaven loop on repeat"
I can just imagine this song playing as the credits roll on a movie
