I like it that way, because then it's not too crowded at his concerts.

Each new live performance is a rediscovery, because it is totally différent from the other.

Lyrics: [Verse 1] Sisyphus peered into the mist A stone's throw from the precipice, paused Did he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist? Did he raise both fists and say, "To hell with this" and just let the rock roll? [Chorus] Let it roll, let it crash down low There's a house down there but I lost it long ago Let it roll, let it crash down low See my house down there but I lost it long ago [Instrumental Break] [Post-Chorus] Well, I let the rock roll on down to the town below We had a house down there but I lost it long ago Lost it long ago Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I'm letting it roll away It's got nothing to do with fate And everything to do with you [Verse 2] I'd rather fail like a mortal than flail like a god, I'm a lightning rod History forgets the moderates For those who sit recalcitrant and taciturn You know I'd rather turn and burn than scale this edifice, yeah Where's my accomplice? So take my hand, we'll do more than stand Take my hand, we'll claim this land Take my hand, and we'll let the rock roll [Chorus] Let it roll, let it crash down low There's a house down there but I lost it long ago Let it roll, let it crash down low See my house down there but I lost it long ago Lost it long ago [Post-Chorus] Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I'm letting it roll away It's got nothing to do with fate And everything to do with- [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Sisyphus peered into the mist A stone's throw from the precipice, paused

My favorite song because the Greek mythology story that the song is inspired by can be a metaphor for a lot of stuff and it is really interesting and beautiful, and that’s why I’m learning it on guitar. But.. *i simply cannot whistle* because my tongue is deformed and it’s attached to the bottom of my mouth more than it’s supposed to. ;( Also zero likes on the vid nice

Check out 3:45. I find it interesting how Sam can sit beside a guy performing like that and not show any sort of physical connection to the music like tapping his foot or moving his head or hand. He's perfectly still.

Does Andrew Bird remind anyone of Shins front man James Mercer? Yes, he does. He most certainly does.

Fine whislin' an a pickin' but can Marat get a piece? Jacques Louis-David plastered to a ton of work and no mention of the artist or portrait likeness? Work on this, Sir! "The Death of Marat." -- Jacques Louis-David circa 1793?
