I was wondering how he would perform this song live, as I thought nobody could whistle live like that. Turns out I was wrong.

He is a Bird.

@yves78 11 ай бұрын

Story goes the National whistling association wanted to make him representative because he is so good but he declined because he only does it to fill in melodies and does not take himself that seriously with it.

Andrew Bird sold his soul to the devil for that whistling talent and the devil got a raw deal.

. He isn't even TRYING. it's mad. I can whistle pretty well, but i have had to really learn to control my tongue more. His is no doubt wiggling in there in a wild fashion. I can do some of Andrew's diddies, though.. feels good

Andrew and his violin are wild animals whom can't be tamed, even the devil can't stop them... actually watching Andrew play, it's something else, him and his violin are one. Andrew Bird is like Dr.Dolittle but with musical instruments instead of animals, he can speak the language of the violin and we're so lucky to have their music and the translations he offers

i can’t wrap my head around his melodies, plenty of music can make my hair stand up but he takes me beyond that. the tension is so strong that when they break into the hook u just have to move.

I looove how Andrew Bird can make playing guitar on a violin sound ethereal. I resonate with the daily tasks of “Sisyphus “. Let the rock roll=]. When you’ve lost your treasury, you realize that you truly have nothing to lose and everything to gain=]

Had no idea about this song until 4 mos ago at a Starbucks. I was like, "Whoa! I gotta use my Shazam app!" Bam...I got busy and learned the song asap. A great tune! His melodies are amazing!
