This is the kind of high budget blockbuster music video i like to see

TIL my favorite whistling violin player is a total goofball. Perfect.

This feels like such a departure from the usual polish of his music videos, in the most beautiful and intimate way. His son adds this fanciful tone to the surrealism of the imagery and goddamit it just does it for me

Producer : How much is your budget for this upcoming video? Andrew: 5 dollars Producer : Say no more

Producer : What can we do with a green screen? Andrew : Yes

He's been 8 years in my top 10 artists of all time. a true GOAT of musical beauty.

Will surely be a great souvenir for you and your kid for years to come

This here's a workout regimen I can get behind. 💪

I've been loving your music and sound evolution for over 20 years and I must say, you are my favorite musician. Thank you Dr. Stringz! Thank you for your passion!

Andrew's been spending way too much time on the internet

This is the kind of dream I have when I get heat sickness. When the nausea, diahhrea, and sweating subsides a bit, I would take some paracetamol and electrolyte and passed tf out. I would have this type of fever dreams. Andrew Bird showed the world what my brain makes up when it thinks that it's dying

it’s 11:45pm and i’ve been waiting for something to make me day. i have now found that thing.

I can totally visualize this ending up as the background music on some car driving away into the sunset scene in some movie in the future

~~ Mr. Bird flying through space ~~

Andrew Bird, you are a hero of mine. Your music is so honest and true and evocative and it pulls me out of my skin and helps me remember the world around me. This video, in particular was incredibly intimate and told a strange, cacophonous story that I have yet to understand, but it left me no less awe-struck. And I needn't mention, the pure beautiful severity of this song, but oh how it grasps me with passion and consequence. It is a stunning piece of music. Andrew, you're a marvel. This is no doubt your finest work yet.

Sweeet. Looking forward to it. Just saw a copy of one of your CDs at a library.

This is one of my favorite songs and I just found out you music video and I’m in literal tears .

You were inhabited Speaking in tongues in the night I wasn't having it I could tell that something wasn't right Why don't come to bed Instead of stumbling into the light Of medicine cabinets? Shaking out pills left and right Right Who's giving up the most? No one's gonna give you a medal Who's giving up the ghost? Oh, wouldn't you like to know The competition rages This nocturnal dance The misery's contagious We are Olympians Oh, we're gonna turn it around We're gonna turn it around We're gonna turn it around We're gonna turn it around We're gonna turn it around, yeah We're gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn You start spitting out anathemas You start spitting out anathemas It was anathema Spent half of my life on the exchange Oh, it was anathema 'Bout half a mile between addled and deranged Oh, it was anathema La-da-da-da-da-da It was anathema La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Who's giving up the most? Who's giving up the most? Who's giving up the most? You were speaking in tongues in the night Who's giving up the most? I could tell that something wasn't right Who's giving up the most? Shaking out pills left and right Who's giving up the most? Stumbling into the light Light The competition rages This nocturnal dance Misery's contagious We are Olympians Ho, we're gonna turn it around We're gonna turn it around We're gonna turn it around We're gonna turn it around We're gonna turn it around, yeah Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna

Love this song & video w/son! The rock, scissors, paper & on hands/knees picking up pingpong balls to put in mouth, ears... crazy! The falling pills too - Andrew is too much, as always. 🥰

Well that was unexpected. Haha. Awesome stuff.

Love, love, love

Your music always bright up my days! Thank you so much! Greetings from Mexico, Andrew! Btw love the video 👽👽👽

This is so fun thanks Andrew Bird team- I am assuming that Andrew is joined by his son, Sam ... makes me live this video even more ( I have an 8 year old Sam!). And this song was locked in my head yesterday so to wake up seeing the video joy all around. Can’t wait to c u Andrew & Mad in Mke Sept 26

this song is genuinely SO good & these visuals just made me love it even more

i love this. a cinematic masterpiece. the best thing after a shift at work is seeing this fine masterpiece. making sure to download this later so i can watch it whenever i want to.

As expected every top comment is about the video. One of the best songs he’s written to date. Simple and catchy without tons of digital instruments. I’ll take that in 2019

- Hey look it's a bird! -NO! It's Andrew Bird!

This exceeded all expectations

THE HEAD RETURNS

There’s something about Andrew Birds music that just takes me to a happy place.

LOOOVE your work !!!!

One of my favorite tunes by you man! Love it!

He's showing his new sides. Loved it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

such a wonderful song, as always!! ❤ but does anyone think he looks a bit like Richie in The Royal Tenenbaums??

Love this song instantly💕

this is what the weekend had in mind for his super bowl half show

I actually love this

Great Great Artist❤👏👏👏

Andrew is the coolest, haha this video is awesome ! I hope to get him on 'smallsongs' !

Not enough songs utilize the word "anathema." Glad to see that's changing.

Amazing artist ❤

YESSS nice pogo skills, plus you did like three or four whole push-ups!! 😂

My man Andy's out of his gourd idk what happen to him but its batshit dope

I sang this refrain (we're gonna turn it around) whilst speaking in tongues during my nocturnal dance. In 2012.

“Oh so this is what Andrew Bird is doing now..”

awesome

What an inspiration you are!

OMG!!!!!!!

One of my favorite tracks on the LP

I'm so glad I decided to listen to a few songs before bed and logged on to this.

Man, you have been in my top 5 for the last 13 years. You never stop getting better! The video was baller, too.

Olympians, inspired by 70's rock n roll hairdos, the NBA and Michael Scott's 'Threat Level Midnight'.

Awesome album!

This video is horribly ugly. I love it.

So really BEATIFUL,wild

Absolutely adore the intro instrumental

This is super-fun. Love the goofball aesthetic!

luv it :)

I love this song, and the video is so entertaining!

Sir, this is a Wendy's

thank you andrew, very cool!

I get the impression someone really loved the new green screen! As usual, perfect music.

Serious Talking Heads vibes from this music video. This is great!

ahaha i love this! This was one of my faves on the album too ♥

I usually listen to this song on CD or watch the live version on KEXP, so I had never seen this clip before. I was not disappointed 😎

This song hits hard as an addict

I don't know how I missed this before but it is my absolute favorite thing ever! :)

Andrew adoro tu música (y tu personalidad en este video), Te he descubierto en esta cuarentena y gracias a ti es mucho mas amena.Muchos éxitos y saludos desde Latinoamérica

great song

Endorsing sports - thumbs up from me! Plus it’s a great song and a creative video. God bless

Great songwriting as usual, It inspires me to new heights.

*High* quality as usual

Lets go great work Andrew. Huge fan! Hoping to meet you one day! I have a great story to share with you about how your music keeps the memory on my brother alive.

This is so indie, I love it

Totalmente inesperado. Me encanta 😍

Very happy to see you staying indie.

"We can't find anybody to produce a music video due to the lockdown" Andrew, "hold my fiddle"

I was hearing "Stop Spitting on anatomies" and I was like "what a filthy song".

Wow! Nice song! Your look

Sky's is Siskin's limit! 😅

hello Richie Tenenbaum, nice to see you making music again

Why does Andrew Bird look like Luke Wilson? I do love his music though

The entire time I was like "Yo, what the fuck" And "This is art" There's no in between

We are indeedy

one of the most unsettling 5 o'clock shadows I have seen

"I'll shut up when I'm dead and when I'm done talking tell Mark Twain that doubt is a bit deeper than dust on armoire." ,dan'

Andrew Bird so cool now

"I cannot apostrophize" What did you see out in the pouring rain? Something else to lose? Nothing left to gain? What did you feel beneath the fallen snow? Something long forgotten? Froze to keep from rotting? Warmth thawed by the cold? What did you taste among the falling leaves? Freedom? Flight? Death? Bittersweet? What did you smell beside the blossom blooms? Resilience? Pride? Humility? Concern? Success? What did you hear before an empty heart beged you try again? "This city and the sorry shape I am currently in are the desert and an amaranth blowing in the wind." ,dan'

Awesome thumbnail Bird

Parece o cenário do programa brasileiro ´O último programa do mundo". rs

bruh why doesnt andrew bird have more recognition. im sure the tiktok teens would be all over his music lmao

I discovered this song not so long ago and I listen to it at least two times per week on my way to university (which is for me the sign that I really like the song, actually I'm into older stuff when it comes to motivate myself + I don't have class very often. Anyway.). I didn't pay a lot of attention to the lyrics as I'm a French person and not fluent in English (I bet my spelling and grammar mistakes speak for me) and did not take the time to read them to understand them, so I did not really get what was the song about. Some sentences would reach my small brain like "something wasn't right", "we're gonna turn it around". But. I discovered this music video and looked at it and this long introduction leads me to the thing that made my evening, maybe thanks to my lack of comprehension : the song goes "I could tell that something wasn't right" when, in the video, Andrew in running ON A HIGHWAY WITH FIRE and it just felt like my favorite kind of meme like "Oh I gess something's wrong *some guy running on a highway on fire*". This made me laugh a lot. Hope I did not disapoint too much the people who took time to read this

nice :)

This the bestest video that will stand the test of time for homeless people. I love your music since the egg thing

I love the reference to tin foil! lol

In this song, Andrew's Vocals sound similar to The Shins' James Mercer. Love it!

Love it. 😂

cool

Producer: how many drugs do you want in the video? Andrew bird: YES
