Andrew Bird - Left Handed Kisses (ft. Fiona Apple) [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

[@adsensedd]

I love it when they harmonise! Watching Fiona's facial expressions in this, I think she would be a talented actor.

[@elagace03]

Pablo Horteg the beautiful thing about Fiona is that those expressions are real, not an act.

[@happypotter9413]

Eric Lagace !

[@jreyna79]

indeed

[@WaitingForTheHook]

No bullshit, Fiona Apple was almost in the Karate Kid 4 ; the one with the girl... but i guess she did music instead.

[@McSneakFreaks]

She reminds me a lot of Emily Blunt.

[@RickSolid1]

His pride, her anger, his confession, her skepticism, his honesty, her disbelief, his reassurance, her distrust, his final plea, her truth, but still their love unresolved because that’s love.

[@phillipmccutcheon4937]

I bet she is a nightmare as a girlfriend

[@Harpplayer504]

Rick, It's my opinion that your comment covers everything! Therefore no other comments are needed! That's my opinion!

[@UrbanomicInteriors]

Love does not need to be unresolved. Everyone would do well to learn about Attachment Theory to understand relationship dynamics. It's a road-map to understanding each other, and ourselves in relation to others. What I observe in this dynamic is that he seems to be someone with "secure attachment" trying hard to stay grounded and kind and keep the boat on an even keel, but her "anxious preoccupied" attachment style (fear of abandonment, lack of trust) her from meeting him in the middle. Her petulance is strong enough to rock any boat.

Fiona's voice just floors me. It's always a couple of seconds after she's finished singing that I realize I better start breathing again now.

[@jreyna79]

lol right

We definitely need a full album with this duo... in love!

[@nikkib317]

100% agree!!!

[@kevinfishburne]

"The Sargasso Sea is the only sea on earth without a coastline, as it is surrounded by a gyre resulting from multiple currents converging. Bird is probably indicating that falling in love is like being in a vortex."

[@caldar76]

My thought is somewhat different... If he's a skeptic and doesn't believe that everything happens for a reason.. then how did he find a person to love out of all the great masses of people... and I think her point is that it doesn't matter .. he loves her. I love the music and listen to it over and over but... one thing I've noticed in Fiona's videos is she puts the emotions of the song on her face. Others have mentioned it in these comments. You can see this character is both in love and wanting to be less harsh, more forgiving but something gets in the way... somethings upset her so much she can't forgive. And he seems obvlivious to it all. I need to study Bird's face more. It's obvious he's aiming for the same thing but I think Fiona is just so much better at it. It's really amazing to watch these two in this video .. and then see the one "Fiona Apple Rocks" has entitled "Fiona Apple and Andrew Bird - Werewolf" and how they act toward each other. It's obvious they have respect for each other. It's interesting to see the dynamic.

[@rachelmorris5555]

I read a description of the Sargasso sea. They called it "This strange and unique creation of nature" I thought that was a beautiful metaphor for love or the person you are in love with. A vortex also makes sense too.

[@elleeme9451]

That would be a pond, wouldn't it? Badly named.

[@elleeme9451]

@@caldar76 Well........

[@clarencedeis5282]

The Sargasso Sea is the deepest place in the world and all the eels go there to have their young, opposite the salmon who go to the highest water they can find, up mountain streams, something amazing about that😊

[@sidedishfriend]

I really care for Fiona and seeing her just makes me happy... Such a beautiful soul.

[@TomRyckeboer]

So glad to see she's got a bit more body fat again :)

[@sidedishfriend]

Berhoh Comments like that just makes me tired.

[@TomRyckeboer]

Why? Don't deny that she was in trouble. You can't just ignore the fact that she wasn't healthy for a while just because she's a "godess".

[@omarsabih]

Thanks mom

[@rubymccullers2319]

Berhoh agreeeeee

[@tworedtornados]

Coming back here after years... I can't get it out of my head...

[@StephanCox]

What's astonishing to me about this track is the fact that it really doesn't have anything resembling a chorus, doesn't adhere to or even acknowledge traditional pop music structure, and yet it still manages to be utterly memorable. I can't stop hearing it in my head.

[@sidhedanu]

It's a pretty standard call & response song structure, though.

[@amandafeliciano542]

I find alot of fiona's music sounds like that...also jason mrazs EARLY stuff...try run by mraz, you'll love it

[@ZeeboidThrok]

Andrew sings the chorus.

[@72marshflower15]

@3:00 sounds like pure Joanna Newsom if I ever heard it..

[@FirstPersonNewf]

They use a refrain instead of a chorus, they even mention it in the refrain. Its where you end each verse with the same line. Good example is the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald.

[@kermit1473]

Both are amazing artists...i hope i get to play music with them soon...i love this song...." Oh shit baby"

[@DjStewArt2]

"The point your song here misses Is that if you really loved me You'd risk more than a few 50 cent Words in your backhanded love song"Wow. That's a much needed lyrical punch in the face. Especially with Fiona's voice. Love it.

[@syntheticsilkwood2206]

Lol i love her

[@JoelMalley]

I am not a musician, nor am I a songwriter. If I were, this is what I would aspire to.

[@kremzupa_69]

She's always been good at delivering raw emotion in a charming way. And Andrew... there's that signature Bird-sound to everything he makes that I am fond of.

[@sayedsotelo5420]

I love how at the end they sing it live, and not lip syncing to the recording

[@bunnybunny-dy3tk]

Sayed Sotelo OMG TRUE

[@melodyr9786]

these two are the definition of emotionally charged and I love it

[@NorthernDiaries]

For those of you who want to see more of Andrew and Fiona jamming together, look up for "Andrew Bird live from the great room with Fiona", that was terrific.

such a dream collaboration!

[@MrsRoper2015]

this video has just reaffirmed my undying love for both Andrew Bird and Fiona Apple. sigh....

[@amberhaynes9541]

I am addicted to this. I fell in love with Fiona around seven years ago and no other artist emotionally and creatively energizes me the way she does. I discovered the greatness of Andrew around five years ago and those two together - superb.

[@irosencrantz882]

I n T e R e Y e... hell yes. imagine that duo: Apple/White... or White/Apple. that would be amazing.

[@vintageinthenow]

I've always adored this song. Fiona apple first c.d was one of my first ever bought c.d's when I was about ten. Saved up for it, and instead of kids toys and other things I said I wanted to support her and buy her c.d. Found Andrew Bird much,much later, but I'm truly thankful for you both creating this. It means so much, and I always wondered what it would have sounded like if she worked on a song with a male artist and this is better than my imagination. The micro expressions and control you both have while performing is beyond amazing. ❤❤❤

[@calebsnoke]

That knife blade ending...cuts deep. I cant stop watching this. I'll need a blood transfusion to continue.

[@lindiemoon]

I have had this song in my head for days and days. It's carrying over into dreamtime - I'm waking up singing it part-way through. Every inch of this song is heartfelt and cheeky and amazing. It's one of those songs that creeps up on you unexpectedly, until you are just compelled to listen to it on repeat. Two incredible artists.

[@CrustyWhiteBread]

Yup.

[@katherineashley6804]

lindiemoon lol yep...I woke up singing it for some reason

[@xocomaox]

This one gets better with the repeat listening.

[@brianad1556]

i love how much this song and video seem like a conversation

[@nataliastratan7870]

I think this song mainly talks about being skeptic about how a sane, reasonable person could ever love someone that is frail and submerged by self-doubt. How, amongst all the people in the world, someone could choose a singular individual, and about how, at every single chance we have, we are able to argue against this possibility instead of appreciating this opportunity.

[@geraldmorain3166]

Anything from this talented duo

[@monkey4gghplaysgames]

Ya know I'm wondering WHY HIS MUSIC IS SO FREAKING ADDICTING!!!!!!!!

[@matthewmcnitt8405]

Came to Bird through Fiona. Went to see him based solely on the power of this video. Watched many of his videos online to get somewhat up to speed and was pretty much blown away by his live performance. Incredible band backing him up. Great chemistry in this video, due largely in part to the brilliance of director Philip Andelman, I would love to see them collaborate again. Bird is brilliant, and Fiona, well, she's in a class all her own.

[@janedoes9853]

I don't remember her ever expressing that. I recall her saying she felt sometimes that she wanted to listen to music but it would be too emotionally difficult because she is too influenced by it.

[@hifive7366]

+Jane Does Even more, I remember the interviewer ask her wich bands/musicians she liked most and she replied that: "I don't care about other people's music" so she didn't know wich bands/musicians she might like because she didn't listen to any... escept old jazzy music I believe.
