[@merrymitchell6231]

Anyone else still coming here to feel inspired? I feel like I always return to this specific video when I feel like I need to see something really amazing!

[@robbwolf3309]

Yes…January 4th 2022

[@radkin9747]

Always always come back to this every now and then. Such a gem.

[@rosewashburn2619]

Doing exactly that

[@ychristopherz9649]

Yes absolutely!

[@AnonymousHippopotamus74]

8-years later and this is still my favorite song.

[@michaelconnor5061]

I have come to know this video as a reliable means to remind me at full force, how among all other things, we humans are also breathtakingly beautiful.

[@lightlysaltedcalmingvlogsa7286]

He is truly an inspiration, reason why I've started playing the violin and piano

[@killercowld]

To the girl that suggested this to me on the bus in Asheville leaving the Andrew Bird concert... Yeah this is good stuff for sure

[@PeachMoo1]

I think the biggest amazement here are those socks he's wearing. They're glorious.

[@CScott-zu5mv]

Why does this not have millions of views? Breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you Mr Bird.

[@ohsnapitzlana]

Dear Andrew Bird, Please never stop making music. And wearing cool socks.

[@carriekmms]

How does he make it sound like his violin is weeping? Just unbelievable.

[@faithlessbelievers]

The last three minutes from 6:00 to 8:55 are so freaking beautiful. I love this video so much because it really shows the level of brilliance and soul Bird puts into his work. Music without soul isn't worth listening to it, and Bird's soul really shines. He's like the bad scientist of music, and I respect him so much for it.

[@lookingforstuff101]

Funny he even looks like Bill Nye

[@crabanna]

Do you mean MAD scientist?

[@leif1075]

How can I be like him?

[@emmyarellano3704]

Hells yeah! Very well said!

[@PlankChild]

Usually whistling isn't considered a talent but man,he can whistle

[@abryant73]

... Imagine being his spouse and getting to hear that every day.

[@LittleDinkens]

nice try Andrew on another side account!

[@jasonsteves734]

[@jenanib]

Did I die and go to heaven? Andrew Bird is an angel playing true beauty

[@diego6strings]

[@carlosfrusciante1]

today I found andrew bird today was a good day

[@karaa7595]

I fell in love with the violin the moment I heard it as a child.

[@americanboy717]

AMazing what he does with a four track!

[@VortalPortex]

What a powerful piece! How seamless are his layers? Magic at it's finest.

[@oliverrios93]

he actually feels the music

[@stefanie57043]

How does one man have this much talent? Just pure perfection.

[@danbabs]

My heart exploded with feel good

[@HDPersonal777]

My new theme song!!!! Maybe for this generation!!😍😀 I grew up playing violin and LOVE viola and this!

[@aw00gag0rl]

This is the video that made me fall in love with his music 🙌🏼✨ It's well exectuted and stunningly beautiful.

[@GrimmJohn6]

I had no idea he did it all! wow amazing

[@azulski]

how can you not fall in love with this man?!? true definition of art & uniqueness :)(:

[@pretendyourealive]

I wonder the same thing; and as frustrating as it can be, it's still nice that there's a select few of us that can recognize genuine talent.

[@jenanib]

Thank you Andrew Bird. This is insanely beautiful, I watch this very time I need to restore my faith in humanity.

[@jacquelinedijkstra620]

Wonderfull music!

[@Kymystery]

I cant stop watching this. Simply makes life more fullfilling knowing music like this still exists.

[@Zaneurus]

This is music.

[@colleend9976]

Ope, time to watch this another 200 times

[@faithlessbelievers]

That ending. Gives me chills every time.

[@CrazyBrolly]

sweet jesus... that feeling that goes through you when 1:52 starts up...

[@viachicago]

Set up so well by the Don’t Be Scared intro.

[@Kaleymetz]

I've watched this several times, and every time I'm in awe.

[@edvela3865]

Unbelievable

[@rokstar2001]

[@ednafrau]

[@chrisbaker3795]

hes using two line 6 DL4 Loopstations for those curious, one for pizzicato and the other for arco

[@peacelovebrandy]

I'm so glad he exists. All his albums are so well beyond amazing. He is a classical musician for our times. So talented. Geez...I think I have a crush

[@Brewst]

Wow, that ending was so beautiful.

[@allanduh]

a bottle of whiskey, a good set of speakers and this song. yes.

[@andicis]

Wow! He's truly a genius. One man making all those sounds. I love how he makes modern music with the violin and that ending was unbelievable.

[@AyngeMackay]

[@addicted2anime123]

brings the chills! brilliant!

[@beccamarie7008]

Absolutely beautiful, as always.

[@wash93af]

Who is giving this video a thumbs down. I really don't understand

[@MerriBrownwing]

Beautiful! I found this while looking for something totally different! Nice detour and thanks for the inspiration!!!!!

[@AdventureDumbie]

[@EduVilhena1979]

Fantástico!

[@igmaticdrummer]

The best video on KZbin period.

[@CatWolf21]

Yes, God is in that chapel... his name is Andrew Bird!

[@tdrewmiller88]

This makes me cry every time.

[@BrotherSaturn]

same ten years on

[@killar55]

You are a beautiful human being

[@jeremybriddell513]

woooow.....wow

[@lennoncat]

I think I've probably viewed this 20 times since Tuesday.

[@dholmestar]

6:21 when the beat drops

[@utsux3]

How does this not have a bajillion views? This is the music I'd like to die listening to.

[@jasonsteves734]

... Imagine being his bath sponge and getting to hear that everyday.

[@clancy201]

Wow !

[@HenshinDoll]

You don’t understand the process I went to find this song that I randomly thought of out of the blue from years ago in 5 minutes lol. I went “Owen…Pallett?” Then I typed “Owen in Cathedral with Violin” “Man in cathedral with Violin singing” “Man singing while holding violin in cathedral” “man plucking violin in guitar and singing” “man whistling while plucking violin” 🗿 then something clicked and I remembered the words An-non-animal and I went on google to search “anonanimal lyrics?” And google felt bad for me and handed everything to me instantly lol 😭🎀

[@holy7]

This is so good that it legit scares me me. Not sure why

[@catubefun]

Thank you for putting what I'm feeling into words!!

[@samforryan468]

The socks

[@rgatny]

I guess one person doesn't like genuine music. Or appreciate talent. Or understand they just watched the one of the greatest musical treasures of this generation. Hopefully, that one individual doesn't procreate.

[@CrazyBrolly]

those socks...friggen awesome.

[@kc0jsj]

I'm seeing a lot of weird posts about him playing in a church. What's important are his socks. Look at his socks. And listen to the music. While looking at the socks.

[@thosewhodream4926]

I'm an atheist who sees God in the beauty of man. There is God in that chapel, whether you are religious or not, the creation of man in the house of the Lord is moving beyond what any beliefs you may hold. To me that is God, the movement of the heart through the worldly and earthbound. I don't want to start a religious debate, as I said, I'm an atheist; but consider beauty and love the highest pursuit of man and feel this move you and let your heart decide if you agree or not.

[@dylandingo]

Seeing him Saturday in MKE!

[@sanctimonia11]

I love the socks. :)

[@samwoah]

@François Dillinger yessssss

[@zenzoxander5567]

Wow! that's it that's all.

[@TheArm97]

this guy was in the most positive state of stoned when he wrote this song

[@jabenev]

Whoever disliked this must have had a Lego stuck in their ear. Happened to me all the time as a kid.

[@danniflakesalot]

just gonna put this out there... He had some awesome socks.

[@ClueVios]

and not only whistling

[@Phloem77]

gotta love those socks! hehe

[@Edgarsopper]

Holy fuck. That just happened.

[@xxmdogxx1ify1]

HOLY SHIT

[@admitdafeet]

I don't believe in god but I'd go to church for this!

[@jackarlington3939]

Howdy!

[@ItsMunch]

Video directed by JJ Abrams

[@blondthought5175]

This is a little unfair to anemones.

[@mark_midmark]

When you put it that way, I agree.

[@skithekey]

44,000 views and 4 dislikes.... Andrew Bird is God.

[@Phabulouso]

You're far too open minded to label yourself as simply atheist. I really appreciate your unbiased objectivity. It's really refreshing, especially among the hovel of trolls that is KZbin's user-base. I was indoctrinated with the belief that "God is love". The notion of caring for someone else in a manner that distinguishes us from instinct-based animals is truly a wonder. You don't have to believe in the traditional omniscient God to understand that there is something special within us.

[@terrikayy]

Shutup!! This is about Andrew Bird. Leave and don't come back!

[@Chemabrain]

This is fucking Swag

[@Corannr]

Whats up with the ending

[@nikstlittselpmur]

Don't be scared :)

[@Saledburnette]

its a delay pedal set to loop...

[@tomasgormley]

:o

[@ArkinAngle]

The last truly great composer

[@terrikayy]

Warning: this is not a forum for discussing religion vs. atheism. This is about Andrew Bird and his music. see below. Go away and respect the man and his music.
