A bird you would've liked brought the sky down But it was useless to see it without you around And in the unstoppable camera of my mind's eye I saw you and some foreign guy And I could hear your voice ringing I could hear you singing From all the way across the country in Palm Springs I can hear you now Your laughter tore through the New Jersey night And I can't stand it that I'm alright Stood out on the balcony; I took a look around And a bird you would've loved the sight of brought the sky down And I can hear your voice ringing I can hear you singing From all the way across the country in Palm Springs I can hear you now

One of the best from the album/era - #NotOnSpotify

🌌♥️🌌

Would it be weird to get a tattoo of the toad on a skateboard with lyrics from this song?

Relax your living and cruise past the ppls choice and backwards attitudes

It's crazy to revisit this song after over a decade. I listened to this on repeat in Highschool.

They took it off Spotify. Bring it back

I'm desperate to get my hands on the album again, the link here doesn't work, any leads?

Lovely music💚🎶, feels like swimming in the warm clear blue water

Shocked to read through 10 years of comments on this vid and not see a drunk post from myself about it from 2013ish-2019ish

This, for me, is one of the most romantic songs I have ever heard in my life. It's so beautiful and makes you fall in love, even when you are not. With life, with everything.

sucks that this isn't on spotify

Thank Goodness for this song

Thank you for sharing this!

Just heard this on the radio

I'm a big fan of Cassadaga and listened to it many times yet I've never heard this song. So excited to find this lol

relax your love, relax your ego....

A true wizard

This song is by Bright Eyes and appears on the pre-order release of the album Cassadaga (2007). When all the knots' attention keep you from getting loose Relax your love Relax your living And cruise... past the People's Choice and their backwards attitudes. When you're done all sleeping and all your dreams fall through Relax your rush Relax your grieving And lose... yourself in the trill of your woodwind solitude Light in the corners of the room In your Eighth House is a rising moon Better get out of here soon... Far away from the rag trade Far away from this maritime state you're stuck in Relax your law Relax your ego And groove... from the deep-sea dive to the nose-bleed altitudes When you divide the memories outside the photobooth Relax your cause Relax your feeling And choose... not the one that you want but the one they just handed you When the tequila gimmicks start soft but get you juiced Relax your thoughts Relax your breathing And do... what you want, when you want, with whoever you wanted to The sun is eclipsed as silence swoons And you your Eighth House is a darkened room Is it midnight or high noon? Far away from the rag trade Far away from this marathon race you're running Relax your costs And dodge the zeroes And prove... what you think that you can to whoever you needed to Far away from the rag trade Far away from this maritime state Far away from the rag trade Far away from this maritime state you're stuck in ...You're stuck in

After many years of listening to this, I like how this and the original play off each other.

Gambar google, njir, musiknya emang bikin gambarnya bukan dari google.

He's covering Lucinda...💖

"Hole In The Ocean Floor" I woke with a start Crying bullets, beating heart To hear all God's creatures Roaring again Not a cricket was creaking, Or a floorboard was squeaking, And all the world was snoring again There's a hole in the ocean floor There's a hole in the ocean floor Gonna stop bleeding alone I woke with a start Crying bullets, beating heart To hear all God's creatures Roaring again...

Simply Beautiful.

I ordered a few bright eyes shirts and a harmonica and I got 2 of the mini cds for this song

What was he playing at the end? Sounded like an omage to another tune of his

I love Conor and Maria's voices together

nice!!!

I think I'm gonna thank everyday to the uiverse for the existence of this music. It's so nice, omg I feel so relaxed with it

I don't use this word lightly, but "Wow!"

wish I could double like this...

Sort of heals your soul doesn't it?

Envoûtant !

if you have a chance to fly on American Airlines they did a great interview with Andrew. not sure if it is online anywhere

Crushingly beautiful song.

His songs just pleases so........

Andrew Bird amazes me.... can't get enough of his genius. This composition in particular I can't believe.... I can't explain.... I just sit back and enjoy. It's beautiful. Thank you Mr. Bird.

Thank God for you Andrew Bird

MY HEART

somehow im gonna put that background on a shirt

thus is what life is for..

I woke with a start Crying bullets, beating heart To hear all God's creatures Roaring again Not a cricket was creaking, Or a floorboard was squeaking, And all the world was snoring again There's a hole in the ocean floor There's a hole in the ocean floor Gonna stop bleeding alone I woke with a start Crying bullets, beating heart To hear all God's creatures Roaring again...

I can't even, ah.. This is so beautiful!

I feel like I am deep sea diving and taking in all the wonders of the sea before me... ethereal :)

I tweeted this.

For some reason people think that "collection of singles and compilation tracks" is an actual cd. But it's not! It's just a compilation a guy made of singles and b-sides and rarities and shit. It is really annoying actually because who wants a song without the original album and all that? Lol

Brilliant, as is the entire album - I urge anyone who likes this to go out and buy Break It Yourself, you won't be disappointed..

I don't understand why 3 people would dislike this!! It's so awesome!
