I can't believe this song is only 4 minutes long. Everytime it ends it feels like it's only been a few minutes. he's a genius composer.

[@stephanieschiano7242]

This and other songs of his tease me into wanting more! Especially live performances

[@peterina123]

Here - live! the wonderfull song is longer!!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3ikq4OqrLp9gLc

[@michael-4k4000]

Lol, what it feels like 3 minutes instead of 4? Wtf? Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@SGspecial84]

His tonal pallet reminds me of Jonny Greenwood. Both make killer scores I'm sure.

[@FatihYldz93]

Long live Andrew Bird!

[@cynthiawilson4500]

It seems that every time they record this song there are slight changes, but it never disappoints.

[@valescaoliveira2612]

[@jwest88]

The back up vocals/harmonies on this one sound so good.(edit: especially 3:18 on), really glad those two got their own mics. Such a great version of the song.

[@bunkkasponge]

Don't be afraid of the very nice instruments overdoing your vokal, but anyhow this is nice!

[@Herakleion]

Love the sound, the lyrics are a bit creepy

[@Jestervs]

I imagine he's talking about electron spin. Observation changes it.

[@dasikakn]

He’s talking about a boys first crush I think

[@ProminentCorpse]

It's about meeting his wife. He mentioned in a few interviews.

[@Thezoiz7]

See her light, how it reigns So hard on your high plains So you take such pains That she won't notice you And your x-rays Of your paleo-male gaze How they rest, and play Slowly corrupting you I wonder what the chance is you want it to A thousand vacant stares won't make it true Make it true You need a witness just to know you're there From the tips of your fingers, every strand of hair And know someone's watching you Watching me, watching you And all that we look upon You may not know me but you feel my stare And if she sees you, it changes you Rearranges your molecules And if you see her, it changes her She's a danger now after school And if she sees you, it changes you Rearranges your molecules And if you see her, it changes her She'll be seeing you after school Here's where gentlemen avert their eyes Maybe she's a gentleman in disguise In disguise You need a witness just to know you're there From the tips of your fingers, every strand of hair And know someone's watching you Watching me, watching you And all that we look upon You may not know me but you feel my Stare And if I see you, how it changes me And if you see me, how it changes you Changes you And if I see you, how it changes me And if you see me, how it changes you Changes you
