I truly think Bird is one of a handful of genius songwriters we get every generation. These folks playing in this performance is why spend so much of my time listening to and playing music. And Check out Madison's new album if you haven't.
I love the Bird. The lyrics are absolutely amazing. Beautiful music that unfortunately doesn't receive the recognition that it deserves, but I think that is also part of the beauty.
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
Means a letter to My dead cat, I loved her so much, she was my life companion, but now she is dead, I couldn't save her. knowing that now she is in the air, radical and free is My only confort.

best whistler, ever.
Andrew and Madison together is just so great.
What an amazing style; hairs stand on end. Andrew Bird's lyrics are immaculate and fitting and instrumentation satisfying.
I read that in “Patrick Batemans” voice.

Bird and Ray Lamontagne never ceases to amaze me. I mean how do they put up such unreal songs every single time !
This man is amazing
I love the Bird. The lyrics are absolutely amazing. Beautiful music that unfortunately doesn't receive the recognition that it deserves, but I think that is also part of the beauty.
My son has been whistling Sysiphus incessantly today. Bird's melodies and lyrics are addictive.
So much talent in one room
This is a song you can throw on in front of anyone at anytime and expect them to move around and ask who it is. Just an objectively beautiful tune.
1:25 I love her so much!
I discover him yesterday...what a gem!!!
Great song. Great Lyric.
Minute 1:03 to 1:30 pure GOLD
Love Andrew so much! My pretty Bird.
Beautiful song
Great song, I love it.
Una joya 🎉❤, Aun en 2025 alguien ?

OMG so good can't get better than this
Came here after discovering Madison's cover of it, to be delighted with her featuring on this performance
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
🙉🙈🙊

Where do you live?
Wow! This guy's pretty damn good! Getting some Chris Cornell vibes too.
I always thought this song was about oil and the climate but when I listen to it now i hear that it's about woke. Cool!

What does this song mean to you?
Means a letter to My dead cat, I loved her so much, she was my life companion, but now she is dead, I couldn't save her.
knowing that now she is in the air, radical and free is My only confort.
Ewan McGregor is a great drummer
I find myself surreptitiously converting my friends to Bird bandwagon! Still can't whistle worth a damn like this fine gent :/
