His pride, her anger, his confession, her skepticism, his honesty, her disbelief, his reassurance, her distrust, his final plea, her truth, but still their love unresolved because that’s love.

I love it when they harmonise! Watching Fiona's facial expressions in this, I think she would be a talented actor.

Fiona's voice just floors me. It's always a couple of seconds after she's finished singing that I realize I better start breathing again now.

"The Sargasso Sea is the only sea on earth without a coastline, as it is surrounded by a gyre resulting from multiple currents converging. Bird is probably indicating that falling in love is like being in a vortex."

What's astonishing to me about this track is the fact that it really doesn't have anything resembling a chorus, doesn't adhere to or even acknowledge traditional pop music structure, and yet it still manages to be utterly memorable. I can't stop hearing it in my head.

it would be unbecoming to say exactly how many times i've listened to this on repeat.

We definitely need a full album with this duo... in love!

"The point your song here misses is that if you really loved me, you'd risk more than a few 50 cent words in your backhanded love song".

I am not a musician, nor am I a songwriter. If I were, this is what I would aspire to.

She's always been good at delivering raw emotion in a charming way. And Andrew... there's that signature Bird-sound to everything he makes that I am fond of.

I really care for Fiona and seeing her just makes me happy... Such a beautiful soul.

"Left Handed Kisses" (feat. Fiona Apple) [Andrew Bird & Fiona Apple:] I don't believe everything happens for a reason To us romantics out here, that amounts to high treason I don't go in for your star-crossed lovers In the heart of a skeptic There's a question that still hovers near [Andrew Bird:] For it begs the question How did I ever find you Now you got me writing love songs With a common refrain like this one here, baby [Fiona Apple:] And all your left handed kisses Were just prelude to another Prelude to your backhanded love song, baby [Andrew Bird:] But it begs a question How did I ever find you Drifting gently through the gyre Of the great Sargasso sea, Atlantic Ocean Got me writing love songs With a common refrain like this one here [Fiona Apple:] The point your song here misses Is that if you really loved me You'd risk more than a few 50 cent Words in your backhanded love song [Andrew Bird & Fiona Apple:] For it begs the question How did I ever find you Drifting gently through the gyre Of the great Sargasso sea, Atlantic Ocean The point your song here misses You got me writing love songs Is that you really love me With a common refrain like this one here, baby Is prelude to another of your backhanded love songs Now it's time for a handsome little bookend Now it's time to tie up all the loose ends Am I still a skeptic or did you make me a believer? If you hesitate, you'll hear the click of the receiver

"The point your song here misses Is that if you really loved me You'd risk more than a few 50 cent Words in your backhanded love song"Wow. That's a much needed lyrical punch in the face. Especially with Fiona's voice. Love it.

this video has just reaffirmed my undying love for both Andrew Bird and Fiona Apple. sigh....

For those of you who want to see more of Andrew and Fiona jamming together, look up for "Andrew Bird live from the great room with Fiona", that was terrific.

i miss fiona and this is really awesome

I’d take a full duet album with these two

Coming back here after years... I can't get it out of my head...

I love how at the end they sing it live, and not lip syncing to the recording

these two are the definition of emotionally charged and I love it

This song is amazing. Damn , Fiona Apple is epic on this. Always glad to see new stuff from her.

I am addicted to this. I fell in love with Fiona around seven years ago and no other artist emotionally and creatively energizes me the way she does. I discovered the greatness of Andrew around five years ago and those two together - superb.

I think this song mainly talks about being skeptic about how a sane, reasonable person could ever love someone that is frail and submerged by self-doubt. How, amongst all the people in the world, someone could choose a singular individual, and about how, at every single chance we have, we are able to argue against this possibility instead of appreciating this opportunity.

I feel a little sorry for Andrew that Fiona is getting so much of the attention in the comments, but I have to echo those sentiments. Please know, Mr. Bird, it isn't that you're not talented, many of us just deeply miss the music of Fiona Apple.

That knife blade ending...cuts deep. I cant stop watching this. I'll need a blood transfusion to continue.

some people spend their whole lives searching for their "tribes," so I'm lucky to find mine in the youtube comment section of this video LOL

I have had this song in my head for days and days. It's carrying over into dreamtime - I'm waking up singing it part-way through. Every inch of this song is heartfelt and cheeky and amazing. It's one of those songs that creeps up on you unexpectedly, until you are just compelled to listen to it on repeat. Two incredible artists.

Came to Bird through Fiona. Went to see him based solely on the power of this video. Watched many of his videos online to get somewhat up to speed and was pretty much blown away by his live performance. Incredible band backing him up. Great chemistry in this video, due largely in part to the brilliance of director Philip Andelman, I would love to see them collaborate again. Bird is brilliant, and Fiona, well, she's in a class all her own.

i love how much this song and video seem like a conversation

This song is amazing and Fiona's acting is great. I get chills eat time they begin to sing together. Magical.

only checked this out cause of Fiona and I'm glad I did, love this song even though it's not my type of genre I love this song. And how Fiona kept looking like she was gunna say something but let him finish or decided not to share that thought

Ya know I'm wondering WHY HIS MUSIC IS SO FREAKING ADDICTING!!!!!!!!

I want to tout my praises, but I am uncharacteristically stunned into silence. I think I'll listen again. And again.

it would be unbecoming to say exactly how many times i've listened to this on repeat. i miss fiona and this is really awesome

The harmony of their voices sends chills

What a gift. I'm such a huge Fiona fan, and Bird's song is just beautiful. I can't get over the depth of emotion that comes out of these two, I feel compelled to watch it over and over...

I've always adored this song. Fiona apple first c.d was one of my first ever bought c.d's when I was about ten. Saved up for it, and instead of kids toys and other things I said I wanted to support her and buy her c.d. Found Andrew Bird much,much later, but I'm truly thankful for you both creating this. It means so much, and I always wondered what it would have sounded like if she worked on a song with a male artist and this is better than my imagination. The micro expressions and control you both have while performing is beyond amazing. ❤❤❤

Me, talking to my cat.

You find a song like this when you need it most. I found it September 2019 ❤

Wow, that is really fucking intense. What a wonderful song

this video has just reaffirmed my undying love for both Andrew Bird and Fiona Apple. sigh.... i miss fiona and this is really awesome it would be unbecoming to say exactly how many times i've listened to this on repeat.

me alegra ver a Fiona Apple de nuevo! ojalá esté de vuelta en la escena pronto

I love this song. The emotion in Fiona’s voice on “if you really loved me” at the end makes me want to cry even when I’m having a great day.

on the topic of fionas acting, I would say its more passion then a act

Can't wait to see him live again!

Anything from this talented duo

Fiona is gorgeous!

Such a good song, such a good pairing for a duet. Brilliant songwriting as usual from Andrew Bird.

I love Fiona’s unique music style and she literally can adapt to any style. If this was what her new album sound was like I’d love it just as much

The curtain behind Andrew changes...I've seen this so much but I never noticed

oh my god i've been blessed

I haven`t heard a song nor seen a video of this quality for some time.....5 stars to all involved.

saw andrew bird with a drummer opening for nicklecreek back in 2005, what a performance. if he comes to your area, see him, enough said. goes for fiona as well. support these incredibly talented, inventive artists as much as you can. we need more of this.

Their deep singing styles really complement each other. Those harmonies gives me chills!

Once I read an interview of Fiona where she said that she doesn't care about other people's music. Lately, you only see her playing other people's music. One can change I believe.

How can you not fall in love with her here

ugh her FACE is PERFECT

Beautiful!! I want to see Andrew Bird before I die. He is simply incredible.

it would be unbecoming to say exactly how many times i've listened to this on repeat. I am not a musician, nor am I a songwriter. If I were, this is what I would aspire to.

GAWWWDDDD....I can't....I keep watching this over and over again because it's well...perfect. The lyrics, their expressions....gah! Addicted.

I remember seeing them on Ellen when this was released...love the song...violin's magnificent❤️ as well as Andrew and Fiona😊

fiona looks flawless

Goosebumps.......these two geniuses need to do more together 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

just heard it today. fell in love with them all over again.

she is my Goddess!!!

Bird & Apple

Wonderful

Thanks to Andrew Bird and this awesome video I just discovered Fiona Apple, somehow she passed me by in the 90's. The Idler Wheel is fantastic, been playing it on repeat. Now off to check out the rest of her discography.

Oh my heart. I'm ready for round two.

What a beautiful song, they work so amazingly well together. I love when Fiona gets looks so emotional when singing, and smashing that bottle. Her hands, I'm sure, are very strong from slamming the keys on the piano like she does sometimes, I love it.

This is so mind boggling good I don't know what to do with myself...And Fiona is so beautiful. I love seeing her.

Fionna Apple rocks ♥️ just love her

this is a gorgeous song and one of my favorites off the album

Its been almost two years since this Phililip Andelman video dropped and I still get shivers every time I watch it. Andrew and Fiona are flawless, and the chemistry he brought out between the two is inspiring.

I wish I could like this video FIFTEEN THOUSAND TIMES!!!!

This is heavenly

All the faces(expressions) in that beautiful face.She would be a great actress!👌

Criminally underrated

Literally two of my top-tier favorite artists ever. How did I miss this?!

Wow... And yes!!!... Musical majesty. Now its time!

TWO GENIUSES TOGETHER OMGG

They would be couple goals. Ugh my heart

Years later I still come back and always watch more than once.

ahhh so much passion and greatness and ugh

God I love her!

sooooo perfect. the lyrics are astounding

Pure musical harmony

Absolutely in love with this!

Thank you. I was starting to miss real music. This is what real and great music sounds like. No f@&king autotune,and no repetitive and meaningless lyrics.

They both amazing.

I love that the did the end of the song live for the video. So much more soul! Love it!

I'm so pissed! how did I miss this? I love fiona.

Goosebumps every time

I love them both so much. So moving and passionate

How am I just now finding this..... such an amazing song!

Have mercy! 💗

1:31 through 1:40 gets me every time. Such deep emotions. I always get that feeling in my soul that surges me with happiness, you know what I mean?

Wow .. the emotion conveyed in this piece is so true to life. Great performance.

This video may be my new favorite thing. Their voices are fantastic together, achieving just the right tension.

been loving fiona since age 15! can never get enough! Goosebumps dont even explain what this song does to me!
