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.

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.

Holy crap. This guy just might be the most musically gifted person I've ever heard.

he puts his soul on this. and his soul is beatiful

One man orchestra. Unbelievable.

Every note, a prayer; time unwound; eternal life, travelers.

ive been crying for 15 minutes this is the mostamazing thing ive seen iny life

He's a genius, I can't really think of another way to describe Andrew Bird

This song inspires me so much. It actually helps me to restore faith in humanity. :D

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

Mesmerizing, this never gets old.

Damn. I am always amazed by his live performances. His timing is ridiculously spot on and groovy, too.

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.

it's like he conducts himself with the shaking of his head.

what a TUNE......TUNE !! right out the top drawer....a wonderful example of why i luv muzik....fanx andrew

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.

Far beyond the word 'beautiful', beyond any words... well at least in my vocabulary... it's PRECIOUS TERRITORY indeed ❤

How can anyone dislike this, it's so perfect.

This song makes me fall in love with music again.

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!!

speechless.. I discovered him, finally..

Straight up banger

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

I watch this when I need to remember why life is so damn beautiful.

Coming from an 11 year old who is surrounded by awful songs playing all day, this is so awesome :'D

He useing a lot of looping effects to acheive that kind of ton gotta love it

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

His violin solo at the end just makes me want to cry.

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

Andrew Bird.The Big Chill 2009.Sunday afternoon.A beautiful summer's day.Amazing vibe! I was there.

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.

Andrew Bird is a wonderful musiciian

Beautiful

Damn. Once he stops singing and starts looping the violin, that's just pure mesmerizing.

what if andrew bird was literally a bird once

I had this song with the volume way up and the birds all came to my window

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

He's one of those musicians who sound better live than they do in their album recordings.

This is what music is all about. Simply brilliant

this is so beautiful and perfect and masterful and full of emotion that i am actually crying. andrew bird has changed my life.

Love the sound textures and layering. Wow. So happy I found his work.

one of the most underrated modern greats we have nowadays.

What an artist. So much talent, so much musicality...unbelievable :)

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

the ending is glorious.

Saw this on Sky Arts - quite beautiful ! A real special treat, thank you.

love how this song builds at the end. like a musical climax

SO good..

so beautiful !

I'll be seeing him on the 6th in Boulder, CO. If he doesn't play this live, I'll cry.

my brain is melting.

chucha!!! me buena cancion!! hubiera querido ver esto en vivo debe ser lo mejor del mundo!

brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too beautiful for words.

he's such a talent. i love him

Now that is what u call a freestyle ladies and gentlemen!

bootiful

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.

the music is so beautiful

Amazing. What a talent.

a god among men. why he ever stopped creating music like this is beyond me.

@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...

the ending is so beautiful and intense. love when he kicks his shoes off.

4:18, my goodness is that wonderfully beautiful.

Marvellous…splendid… awesome, brilliant… Genius poète.

Sounds like I died and woke up in Heaven. Stunning!!

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

This music is so much better then everything else.

the best

SO MUCH LOVE!!

This is amazing.

My favorite… no words… i let him speak …

gives me goosebumps once his voice hits the mic

This is a brilliant masterpiece. I must say :)

Gorgeous.

now its eleven, this song is just too good for them to handle.

OMFG!

I feel alive when hear this version of the song.

This is my feel sad, want to feel happy song.

Hah. I love how he just kicked off his slippers near the end.

Es un genio.

what a beautiful song my dude!

Both in my top 10

This isn't your song This isn't your music How can they be wrong When by committee they choose it all? They choose it all You're gonna grow old You're gonna grow cold Bearing signs on the avenue For your own personal Waterloo You're bearing signs on the avenue For your own personal Waterloo now We'll fight, we'll fight We'll fight for your music halls and dying cities They'll fight, they'll fight They'll fight for your neural walls and plasticities And precious territory This isn't our song This isn't even a musical I think life is too long To be a whale in a cubicle Nails under your cuticle Gonna grow old You're gonna grow so cold Before this song can deliver you You're bearing signs on the avenue You're bearing signs For your own personal Waterloo now We'll fight, we'll fight We'll fight for your music halls and dying cities They'll fight, they'll fight They'll fight for your neural walls and plasticities And precious territory

Me encanta la canción pero no puedo escucharla sin el video me trasmite una paz

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.

great

eargasm

I like the way he sang it on the studio version better, but the intro loops here were perfect.

The craziest thing is that he sings and plays violin and does all this looping recordings at the same time. Oh, and he'll throw in a whistle.

dig this song!

I wish i had talent like andrew bird:/

that was fucking amazing.

@MusicTheAccount I totally agree.

@r92cab I agree! He looks so nice in it.

I... he's... wow.

Me pareció muy bueno¡¡¡¡¡¡

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.
