Ironically, I've been listening to this song on repeat

If you are wondering, Bespoke Samsung used this in their korean ad. Just the ad alone has 9 million views on youtube. thats why you see a lot of Koreans here.

This song is criminally underrated

삼성광고음악에서 들었는데 뮤직비디오가 광고메세지하고 어울리네요..자유.여유.해방 너무 좋은 노래예요. 응원해요

"When you save money with Allstate, you feel like you're winning"

"I'd rather fail like a mortal than flail like a god on a lightning rod, history forgets the moderates." is like the rawest fucking quote and it's from a music video that can be viewed like a weird Chevy/hiking commercial.

그랑데 세탁기 광고음악 찾아서 오신분 👋

Nerd Alert: So, I read the artist's description, and I see that the song is supposed to be about “...being addicted to your own suffering..." but Camus's interpretation of the myth is so much better! Sisyphus released attachment to his punishment, not the rock. He still rolled that boulder every day, but he set himself free from punishment by doing it well and therefore overcoming the absurdity of his eternal fate. It's a story of defiance and strength through deciding not to be a victim rather than that of addiction to suffering. Having said that, it's a cool and intelligent song, and Bird's interpretation matches American culture better. I like how he humanizes Sisyphus. Translations of the Greek myth are open to interpretation, but I like trying to apply it to my life and contemplate my own existence. In modern life, everyone has to wake up and role that rock every day, but whether we go about it like we are punished or strong is up to us. Thanks, Andrew Bird, for getting that philosophic with it!

Super jealous of his whistling skills. Legit mad about it.

Andrew going 🗿 mode

he looks like a beardless Richie Tenenbaum on that bike. I love it. Love the song too!

Oh my ..This is just perfection. Everything about this song is spot on, musically and lyrically. Brilliant writing. Song of the year so far for me. Absolute genius.

삼성전자에서 광고로 나온 음악이 넘 좋아서 여기까지 왔어요 ~~♡♡

광고음악의 마법.......노래가 너무 좋아서 광고를 계속 보게 되고 그러다 그 음악까지 찾게 되고.....이런 음악을 찾아내서 광고에 삽입하는 사람도 대단함!

음악 안에 오묘한 메세지가 들어 있는것같네요. 중독성있는 보이스..마력 또한 있는것같구요. 광고계의 순기능. 요즘 잘 듣고있어요. 행운이있기를.

I'm a South Korean who met this song through one of our commercials. Good work, good lyrics!

Lyrics 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? 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 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 I'm letting it roll away It's got nothing to do with fate And everything to do with you I'd rather fail like a mortal than flail like a god on 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 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 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 Sisyphus peered into the mist A stone's throw from the precipice, paused

너무좋은곡이네요 음악도 음색또한 너무 매력있어요 이곡에 빠져들게하는 계속듣게되는 중독성이있는 곡이에요 오랫만에 저의 감성을 자극하는 음악이네요 Andrew Bird - 팬이될꺼같아요

그랑데 cf 보고 검색해서 들어 왔어요. 잠자던 감성을 부르는 노래. 너무 좋아요.

How did I miss this gem? This is one heck of an awesome good song. And album. Seriously it is that good.

매일 반복적으로 듣게 되는 음악~ 나도 모르게 흥얼거리며 ~~부르네요.

사운드 날것의 느낌이 너무 좋네요 마치 연주하는 공간에 있는듯해요 특히 아날로그 감성의 드럼과 휘파람 넘 좋습니다

My favorite part was that he was on the back of the truck the entire time. Got me good there

Some journeys need to be walked in two, you and your invisible friend, your soundtrack. That song is that perfect invisible friend, your fellow traveler.

광고음악의 순기능.. 몰랐던 좋은 곡을 알게 해준다

His whistling is magical

this song is a masterpiece. i wouldn't change a thing.

그랑데 세탁기광고 보다 음악이 너무 좋아 여기까왔네요❤️

Thank you for keeping good music alive.

Andrew’s vision for this song and the resulting music video both turned out so god damn good

앞 전주 부분이 무척 설레이네요. 목소리가 맑고 귀에 너무 선명하게 들려요. 앞으로 승승장구 하시길^^*

I will never get tired of the whistling...

그랑데가 나를 여기까지 오게 만들었어💙 노래의 힘인지 광고의 힘인지 광고 보면서 아련해지긴 처음이네🙈

광고로 첨 듣는순간 확 빠져서 하루종일 계속 듣고있어요 벨소리로 설정까지해서 듣고있을정도로 노래가 너무 좋아요 ㅋㅋㅋ 듣고있음 힐링되는 기분이에요

Fantastic song. Glad to know there are people keeping the art of the music video alive and prove you don't need a big budget to make something sublime.

♡♡♡ 듣다보면 자꾸 듣게되는... 광고와 잘 어울린다는 생각이 드는 곡이예요.광고때문에 좋은곡을 알게 되었네요.

Andrew is such an underrated artist. I love his music soo much.

when I was a child I'd always have the same nightmare over and over againg about giant rocks rolling down a hill. and I'd get terrified they'd crush me, but I couldn't stop staring up and watching them roll down towards me. The strange thing is that when they finally came to the bottom of the hill, they were tiny, tiny rocks which always amazed me and provided an oddly satisfying end to a horrible nightmare. From observation in real life I realized pretty quickly that shorter distances between the object and the observer actually make them look bigger, not smaller. And somehow I expected the dream to abide by the laws of physics. night after night I'd dream about this and forget the rocks were bigger when they were far, get scared they'd crush me -- but never walk away for some reason -- and then relieved when they fell on the ground, so tiny. I'd look at them, amazed by how strange this situation was, and then I'd wake up all sweaty from this anxiety-induced dream and think about how this did not make sense at all until I fall sleep againg. this video really reminds me of that dream.

Andrew Bird is really killin' it right now.

It's crazy…your watching TV on comes a commercial you hear a whistle which spawns a search for this tune. I remember a day when I used to call the radio station. Great song and that whistle…tis a good thing! :)

DAMN! It's been quite long since an artist wrote such an amazing song!

We rollin boulders with this one 🔥 🔥 🔥 💯💯💯

It's nice to see Andrew Bird promoting the new eco-friendly, bicycle-powered car

Official budget report: $15 in plaster, $10 in gasoline for Chevy. Now that’s how you make a video.

Love this song! It’s got intelligent lyrics, an interesting chord progression, a good melody and lead vocal plus a nice harmony vocal plus a whistle intro and solo! I became an instant fan! I’m old school and don’t hear many newer artists who can really grab my attention but you did! That you have a classical violin background makes all the difference! Bravo, Andrew!

I was looking for a meme, I found a masterpiece

This is a weird Chevy commercial, but I like it.

Bird discovers Camus and the Absurd Desert!? I LOVE THIS!!!

In Greek mythology Sisyphus or Sisyphos was the king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity. King Sisyphus also betrayed one of Zeus's secrets by revealing the whereabouts of Aegina, (an Asopid who was taken away by Zeus) to her father (the river god Asopus) in return for causing a spring to flow on the Corinthian acropolis. Zeus then ordered Death (in Greek, Thanatos) to chain King Sisyphus down below in Tartarus. Sisyphus was curious as to why Charon, whose job it was to guide souls to the Underworld, had not appeared on this occasion. King Sisyphus slyly asked Thanatos to demonstrate how the chains worked. As Thanatos was granting him his wish, Sisyphus seized the opportunity and trapped Thanatos in the chains instead. Once Thanatos was bound by the strong chains, no one died on Earth. This caused an uproar especially for Ares (who was annoyed that his battles had lost their fun because his opponents would not die), and so he intervened. The exasperated Ares freed Thanatos and turned King Sisyphus over to him. Before King Sisyphus died, he had told his wife to throw his naked body into the middle of the public square (purportedly as a test of his wife's love for him). This caused King Sisyphus to end up on the shores of the river Styx. Then, complaining to Persephone, goddess of the Underworld, that this was a sign of his wife's disrespect for him, King Sisyphus persuaded her to allow him to return to the upper world. Once back in Ephyra, the spirit of King Sisyphus scolded his wife for not burying his body and giving it a proper funeral (as a loving wife should). When King Sisyphus refused to return to the Underworld, he was forcibly dragged back there by Hades. In another version of the myth, Persephone was tricked by Sisyphus that he had been conducted to Tartarus by mistake, and so she ordered that he be released. As a punishment for his trickery, Zeus made King Sisyphus roll a huge boulder endlessly up a steep hill.The maddening nature of the punishment was reserved for King Sisyphus due to his hubristic belief that his cleverness surpassed that of Zeus himself. Zeus accordingly displayed his own cleverness by enchanting the boulder into rolling away from King Sisyphus before he reached the top, which ended up consigning Sisyphus to an eternity of useless efforts and unending frustration. Thus it came to pass that pointless or interminable activities are sometimes described as Sisyphean. King Sisyphus was a common subject for ancient writers and was depicted by the painter Polygnotus on the walls of the Lesche at Delphi.

This feels like a Wes Anderson short. That's certainly not a bad thing.

Albert Camus feels proud in his tomb

광고에서 처음들었을때는 6.70년대 비틀즈 시절 음악인줄 알았다. 근데 2019년 노래라니.. 옛날 감성👍👍

Thank you for making this fascinating song. In South Korea, your song is getting more famous for being added to the advertisement of Samsung Electronics.

Andrew you are very talented musician.I love this song very much. I am from Israel.keep doing great music.

Cannot believe the healing power of this song. Awesome

Deserving of it's own streaming platform

This song has been with me through all my great falls in life- "Let it roll....."

Andrew Bird starring Jason Schwartzman

Love every aspect of Andrew.. and the songs are just so close to heart and worldly.

Samsung’s laundry and dryer commercial lead me here and I keep listening to it all day. Good to know this beautiful song!!!

한번듣게되면 반복해서 자꾸듣게 되네요 휘파람소리가 인상적입니다

Wes Anderson needs to use this.

삼성 광고보고 너무 좋아서 찾아왔어요....아름다운 음악이네요

What a song! I've listened to it about 17 times in a row, great chord progressions/key changes, kind of McCartney-esque

I only discovered Andrew Bird yesterday. How did such great music escape my attention for over 20 years!

I heard this song on a Korean commercial for a washing machine, haha! Love it!

오늘 운전하며 고속도로에서 98.1 fm 채널에서 듣고 바로빠져듦,시지프스 검색해서 계속 들으며 감,중독성쩔어요 멜랑꼬리한감성 오래전 창고 스타일 맥주홀 구석에서 죽치고 듣던음악같아 왠지. 드럼과 휘파람 심장 어텍한다.

나른한 일요일 아침에 듣기 좋은곡이예요..카 커피한잔과 함께~~ 삼성광고음악듣고 왔어요~~ 노래 넘 좋아요♥

I'm an Italian fan,i love this singer.You are the best Andrew🇮🇹

Best new song we heard on vacation driving through Colorado. Greatness.

Such a talent, and always a well-tucked-in shirt to boot. Attaboy, Andrew. Never stop.

I'm never not thinking about this song. AB is a genius.

I like how Andrew Bird creates new mood.

This entire album is so good.

Back when I started listening to Andrew Bird, I thought of him as a great string player who wrote nice songs. Listening to his progression, now I think of him as a great song writer who is also a great string player. Thanks for the ride Andrew!

Just listening to you ,I've learned so many things . Beautiful song . Love your spirit and energy. Love you .

I came to know about it when I was in the advertising music of Samsung Electronics in Korea.The song stimulates your emotions.

such a gorgeous album, thanks again Andrew

Welcome back, Mr. Bird! Long time fan here. Loving this western, idgaf, free-flowin’ vibe. “I’d rather fail like a mortal than flail like a God” 🖤

Knowledge brings to skills, ignorance brings to nothing. Merging greek classical culture with a jazzman career plus a pinch of self-deprecating humour? Done. How good is that? I'm impressed.

이 시대에 70년대 영미권 락밴드 감성을 구현하는 밴드가 있었다니

@Andrewbirdmusic Andrew, please don't stop making music.

이런음악은 어떻게 찾아내서 cf랑 매칭시키는걸까? Amazing cf보면서 듣는게 훨씬더 느낌이 배가됨

Truly the best whistler out there in music

What a wonderful song. Thank you Andrew. :)

LOVE the lyrics and whistling and instrumentation. 👍

Thank you Garth Trinidad for showing me this song. Your set is absolute gold.

요즘 이 음악에 빠져있네요 너무 좋아요

The drum sound and performance are amazing. Very Motown. Wow.

I really love this song.. I've never heard of this band before..

Just heard this a few minutes ago in a Starbucks in Tokyo. I had never heard it before. I love it.

건조기야~고맙다^^ 덕분에 힐링되는 명곡을 발견했쪙~ 다친내맘에 대일밴드가 되어준 곡♡

Wow I just heard this on the radio here in ireland live in studio. I had to find it here on KZfaq, awesome song awesome

Love to hear you whistling agian. Love your new song. Loved your song from the start. Also liked how you where never scared to experiment with genres.
