andrew bird - lull (daytrotter version)

[@anarchydancer]

Really great video. I love the squid. And this is one of my favorite Andrew Bird songs!

[@chairlover721]

same here. Thank God for public radio. There needs to be more of it!

[@deathcabkerouac]

one of the best music videos i have seen in a LONG LONG time...

[@thetuscangun]

Such a talent...met him in LA at an Amoeba Records performance...would love to jump fifteen years back in time, and listen to "One Hundreds Years of Music" from Brown and Reininger...thanks for the visit to the site! g

[@Juarrox]

Very melancholy song that goes extremely well with the animation. Wonderful!

[@amarr1]

this is pure musical genius.

[@charmister]

Andrew Bird performed "Lull" and they showed this animation at the Chicago Millenium Park Free concert. Great performance, this song is great.

[@bellaellie]

i am in love with this video!!

[@FilFortress]

You are an amazing artist!

[@Borringbee]

The most beautiful song in the whole wide world. It just is.

[@BrittVonKruel]

this is so beautiful, first off, I love squids and second off this sounds like something I'd play for a child when it's time for them to sleep and it's so.....oddly romantic.

[@Ary999]

Beautiful.

[@KAR-5225]

this song is comforting for me, a melancholy sort of comfort. perhaps this is ironic for a song that's describing a lull...

[@stevestamps3173]

absolutely love it!

[@eaglesn]

Cool video. Weather Systems was my first Andrew Bird album.

[@shufflebrainn]

i love this!

[@foxyfer01]

I LOVE THIS MUSIC VIDEO!! but I LOVE THE SONG EVEN MORE!!!

[@deathcabkerouac]

i just got the video 'mermaid' - the movie from which this music video is footage is for. it was quite different (mermaid was quite witty and more light-hearted). i highly recommend seeing it, too. thanks, cranky!

[@AGirlNamedKeila]

overall i actually think that this is a really beautiful video. it's an interesting concept and it was well executed. the only strange part is the ending. it is rather disturbing actually. but really if you just ignore the ending part it reminds me of the beatles' song octopus's garden. it's am interesting spin on the phrases "there are plenty more fish in the sea" and "i love you to death."

[@Gilliandiffenderfer]

i couldn't agree more. i thought i was the only one.

[@JohnsonBrand2000]

Lisa Barcy RULES!!!

[@iluffyoudodo]

"Ohh I'mmm, I'm in love", LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[@BrittVonKruel]

@ryuu304 Weather Systems have the original one, the daytrotter version, I do not know.

[@geminiflux0]

Does anyone know if the instrumental portion is a separate song?

[@TheDeysiRae]

The Weathersystems version is wonderful too...I love this song in any form.

[@carlasalza]

la animación está demasiado buena.. Y la canción.. uffffff.. :D finísima.

[@deepknotch]

good health and love of life,hug your youngins everyday

[@kandinsky20]

wow, great video!! it was so sad.

[@p4tr10ts12]

This is amazing. To titaniumstarship, music is art, and not everyone likes all art. It is subjective, but you should respect other peoples tastes, and not write it off as inferior. I respect that you like to rock out.

[@CandyCane]

listen to that beautiful violen.

[@kirwin44]

just, a. bird and his sexy loop magic.

[@BrixSnBs]

I'm all for moderation but sometimes it seem, that moderation itself is a form of extreme.

[@JoeDoggTV]

@ridgeruna yea hes on itunes.. this guy isn't that un known haha he's pretty popular

[@dreDREb13]

I actually really wish I had the instrumental from the beginning of the video. Of course the song itself is beautiful, but the instrumental makes me want to cry...

[@ttran8385]

@Reublucian321 So true. Natural pleasure and enjoyment gets compromised when others dig in too deeply.

[@MoinsterB]

Why do humans always ends up messing up something so beautiful with their rubbish? Who cares whether you won or lost and if you really know andrew bird to hell with that Realize that things have in common rather than what not Disfruten de esta bella canción!!

[@Rikke0Richard]

Beautiful intro, love this song plus the video even though it is a little disturbing

[@lexxe16]

beautiful ;)

[@TheArborTree]

look up this song on daytrotter and it has the instrumental!!!

[@kirwin44]

its the live daytrotter session with dianogah

[@simbelm]

@jaydoubleyouess agreed... bizarre is an understatement!

[@ZombieMannequinRobotStatue]

i happen to know several musicians who play music and travel for no other reason than they love to play music and to see people enjoy it. for them it isn't business or the desire to belong to some "fad". i do agree with you that there certainly is a mainstream "indie" fad coming about. my last comment was pretty snappy, but understand that your comments sound very self-certain and perhaps pretentious. i just want to clarify that there are several reasons for people to follow musical pursuits.

[@deathcabkerouac]

i'd actually like to see this "mermaid" film. do you have any more information i could use to track it down? the title is a little vague and of not much use...

[@Gibsonway]

The Man and the Squid fall in love, and eventually, end up running away together. Though they are both happy under the ocean, the squid forgets that the man needs air and forgets to let him up for air and he drowns.

[@shiner11]

yes.

[@antigravity000]

Reminescent of Wallace Stevens in my opinion, if the squid= the man's lucid imagination set free.

[@ieatcomments]

@AnnaRose5225 for me atleast a lull in life has always had an unsatisfied melancholy feel, i much prefer to be striving towards something out of my own comfort ^__^

[@shhrimp]

Amazing piece of music and animation. Never trust a squid though.

[@vaiomunstey]

it's a violin or mandolin or cello

[@WLevy1]

Don't mind me asking, but what album is this on?

[@roysters5]

im officially freaked out by this video.., but in a good way...

[@ttran8385]

I'm at peace.

[@carriekmms]

where can i find this version of lull?

[@sidDkid87]

@amilisom Ever drink Bailey's from a shoe?

[@anstar31]

@Gibsonway i think the squid kills the man. first time around after they make love the man shuns the squid from touching him and by offering it a lobster but it rejects and he goes down realizing what wrong he did. Goes home and decides to leave his wife and pack up and goes and finds squid again, but squid is different towards him. tosses him around and he lands on the squids spike and murdered. maybe because she it felt used and wanted revenge or got crazy.

[@AngelicDelight]

@theshruggingofatlas Hence the allowance of excess in moderation. :]

[@jamesshijie]

@4caster1 Umm dude I think spooninspoon was referring to the number of people who have "disliked" this video. Aka he likes this video. Just sayin'

[@garrethdavis]

wow

[@TheArborTree]

this video is oh so sad.

[@Crownshorts]

I'm kinda confused how did he die? Drowning or something?

[@chrisneto]

RAWK AWN BRUTHA

[@manatyson]

Hardly...

[@slinkygman]

I'm a heterosexual 18 year old male, and I'd go gay for Andrew Bird. I can't wait to see him next month

[@sidDkid87]

LOL! What are you doing in my waters??? : )`

[@iluffyoudodo]

Are you speaking english? What's "the tyle"?

[@grahammccallum9026]

❤

[@iluffyoudodo]

I am so confused by this video. The squid loves the man but then gets too rough playing with him and ends up killing him..?

[@amilisom]

I'm Old Greg!

[@yomama9567]

Wow

[@chairlover721]

it's just you.

[@yomama9567]

Jeff Buckley's brother?

[@jMcb47]

I like the song, but the video it is a litle bit disturbing!

[@spooninspoon]

6 thumbs down ? get a clue and a good taste for music and art

[@chrismyers7568]

Still a better love story than Moby Dick.

[@iluffyoudodo]

"Why do humans", what are you? Some sort of higher being?

[@Boogers32150]

Uh, no. Oh god no, this is too weird. I love AB to death, and this doesn't serve him justice. A mermaid, sure fine, but bestiality is where I draw the line. :c

[@ayngemac]

I heard someplace that there is actually such thing as tentacle porn in Japan. I'm sorry, this is just too creepy. Love AB and his music, but I'm not ready for man-squid love.

[@iluffyoudodo]

I win.

[@MoinsterB]

Obviously!!! lol xD I came from a star close to what you know as Antares and I realize your silly attitudes postadolescent By the way I thought you were the kind of people who throw the stone and hide the hand Note that you deleted your first comment and then decided to put it back in the same words but adding "?" That's why you deleted it? Or maybe you repented? Anyway thanks for corroborating my point Have a nice day

[@spingk]

But I am not one of the stereotypical pretentious indie kids that you have in the back of your mind. I do listen to mainstream music in addition to indie music. Here one man plays guitar, sings, and whistles. Can you do that? It's beautiful music made by one singular person. Who cares if you're grandma would like it? Just because she likes spaghetti doesn't mean you can't. Indie is just short for independent. Any act not on a big label is indie. Of Montreal is indie and certainly not wimpy.

[@iluffyoudodo]

I'm racist? Because you spelt wrong? I'm sorry I didn't understand what tyle was.

[@mrJeazlepeats]

So... did he bang that squid?

[@twinlakestheband]

Awesome video! If you get a chance you should check out one of ours! Hope you enjoy it!

[@deathcabkerouac]

i love you please marry me thanks

[@ubertuna1]

He didn't drown, it looked like the squid impaled him at 6:00.
