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.
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.
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...
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.
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 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.
how does this only have 15,000 views...he's a musical mastermind and the whole world should listen to him.
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.
Every note, a prayer; time unwound; eternal life, travelers.
The end of this song is pure heaven, there's no other way to describe it.
I probably listened to this a good 100 times a few years back. I'm glad I stumbled across it again. Bird's a Legend.
One man orchestra. Unbelievable.
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
he puts his soul on this. and his soul is beatiful
Holy crap. This guy just might be the most musically gifted person I've ever heard.
This song inspires me so much. It actually helps me to restore faith in humanity. :D
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.
Far beyond the word 'beautiful', beyond any words... well at least in my vocabulary... it's PRECIOUS TERRITORY indeed ❤
what a TUNE......TUNE !! right out the top drawer....a wonderful example of why i luv muzik....fanx andrew
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.
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!!
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
How can anyone dislike this, it's so perfect.
Andrew Bird is a wonderful musiciian

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.
it's like he conducts himself with the shaking of his head.
a nervous tic motion of the head
Yeah!
He actually said in an interview that the whole time he’s performing, he’s counting in his head
i remember when I saw him for the first time at a live show, pure magic, no one expect such a performance, he´s an incredible musician
This is what music is all about. Simply brilliant
chucha!!! me buena cancion!! hubiera querido ver esto en vivo debe ser lo mejor del mundo!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
What an artist. So much talent, so much musicality...unbelievable :)
His violin solo at the end just makes me want to cry.
this is so beautiful and perfect and masterful and full of emotion that i am actually crying. andrew bird has changed my life.
this is one of the most wonderful things ive ever seen. the whole atmosphere of the the reverb and the lighting of the room is amazing
Damn. Once he stops singing and starts looping the violin, that's just pure mesmerizing.
one of the most underrated modern greats we have nowadays.
Love the sound textures and layering. Wow. So happy I found his work.
a god among men. why he ever stopped creating music like this is beyond me.
Straight up banger
Beautiful
love how this song builds at the end. like a musical climax
He useing a lot of looping effects to acheive that kind of ton gotta love it
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.
Too beautiful for words.
@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...
speechless.. I discovered him, finally..
so beautiful !
he's such a talent. i love him
Amazing. What a talent.
the music is so beautiful
Saw this on Sky Arts - quite beautiful ! A real special treat, thank you.
SO good..
I watch this when I need to remember why life is so damn beautiful.
I'll be seeing him on the 6th in Boulder, CO. If he doesn't play this live, I'll cry.
This music is so much better then everything else.
brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marvellous…splendid… awesome, brilliant… Genius poète.
I'm pretty sure he will, he played it in San Diego when i went to see him last week. It was such an amazing show.
Me encanta la canción pero no puedo escucharla sin el video me trasmite una paz
Gorgeous.
4:18, my goodness is that wonderfully beautiful.
the ending is glorious.
bootiful
Es un genio.
I had this song with the volume way up and the birds all came to my window
the ending is so beautiful and intense. love when he kicks his shoes off.
My favorite… no words… i let him speak …
Now that is what u call a freestyle ladies and gentlemen!
He's one of those musicians who sound better live than they do in their album recordings.
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
This is amazing.
Both in my top 10
I feel alive when hear this version of the song.
gives me goosebumps once his voice hits the mic
SO MUCH LOVE!!
This is my feel sad, want to feel happy song.
the best
my brain is melting.
This is a brilliant masterpiece. I must say :)
now its eleven, this song is just too good for them to handle.
Sounds like I died and woke up in Heaven. Stunning!!
what a beautiful song my dude!
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.
I like the way he sang it on the studio version better, but the intro loops here were perfect.
not to sound mean but some of his live music sounds sooooo much better than his studio recordings. This one for instance.....Amazing!
Adrian Salas I agree 100%
ALWAYS he's just better live.
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
great
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
@r92cab I agree! He looks so nice in it.
@MusicTheAccount I totally agree.
OMFG!
Muy bueno lo tuyo "Gran pájaro silbador" !
dig this song!
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.
Me pareció muy bueno¡¡¡¡¡¡
I like how he kicks his shoes off at 6:20.
I love how music.
Wow never even noticed
eargasm
É o Cara. The One...
just stumbled on this from Shaws' ""Arms and the Man"...never heard of Andrew Bird but really nice intro to him.
@amrohijjawi both amazing musicians!
