From The Basement

[@angrox87]

Just gotta drop in and show some love in 2023. ♥️

[@Bedslumper]

How does this only have 25,783 views? I've probably watched it 25,000 times

[@Omgberto]

Man, this is the exact video that got me hooked on Andrew Bird. This man is a genius; one I will be forcing my children to listen to.

[@darr915]

how goes the child indoctrination?

[@Amins88]

This is the song... This is the video that made me pick up the violin and start playing. Maybe one day I'll achieve this level of brilliance.

[@KunjaBihariKrishna]

Hows it going?

[@TheChrisSoria]

Adam Nowak have you done it?

[@dearestnora]

His talent and passion never ceases to leave me in awe. I watch him play for hours and never tire of it.

[@msinlove81]

The riff he starts at 1:28 breaks me. He makes that violin weep.

Current loc: a group home for the disabled, nuerodivergent, etc. Thank you for this song. I have a traveler's heart, but have found many of my new "family" among this strange *tribe* of misfits (and some hooligans). Our "crime" is being "different", feeling fully, dance and song, defenders of outsiders, fierce about injustices. My family history has been tragically erased by those seeking control of time and written history; your music often rides in my "medecine bag"; your violin and voice haunts and soothes most of my new compadres. Life here would be vastly harder without healing and hard truths you bring to life here. Fellow travelers: you're never alone. Stay on the path. ❤😊❤ Cheers, from a human being with a random brogue, whose family also looks "suspiciously Italian". We rode in trough Chicago and Texas (before it was the USA). Be true to your hearts, travelers. A tribe of one is a tribe of none. */saunters by, waving*

[@midgetman9942]

So relaxing, I could seriously listen to this forever.

[@almaculturacom]

De lo mejor que he escuchado en toda mi vida. En voz, sonido, letra, música y arte. Gracias, gracias y gracias querido Andrew...!

[@patriciareilly530]

I came across this by accident and I'm just blown away. I've never heard anything like that on a violin before. Just awesome. Thank you for posting.

[@notnoah007]

Only 7,637 views? This thing deserves OVER 9000!!!!!!!!

[@Stowneyo]

this man is such a goddamn genius. holy hell

[@jazminandrade1059]

Te amo Andrew Bird!! Es una belleza tu música , el don que nos compartes !! No tengo palabras!!! Dios te bendiga siempre ♥️♥️♥️

[@lcd19777]

it starts around 610. he has been doing that for years. you can find traces of songs in many tunes. he gets an idea and seems obsessed with it and trys different things. like the fatal shore line from oh sister

[@yonayrispaulino4730]

wow I really loved that combination of singing with playing the violin at the same time, this is what I was looking for so that it is my admiration and I already found it, I admire you a lot, keep it up! ... God bless your talent

[@mizzprezli]

So glad this song is long enough, great songs need longer than 3-3.5 min

[@Killdoomkid]

From the Basement is always amazing. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@alexponzo4880]

Oddly, I sometimes cry during this song. And Im no wet-cheek...

[@alexponzo4880]

Nice comment!

[@alexponzo4880]

[@aprilbloom1]

I saw this song live and loved it, but didn't know what it was! Finally found it!

[@PearlyKinetic]

[@friedrichfermi6559]

[@nikstlittselpmur]

2015 y parece que el tiempo dejó intacta esta obra maestra.

[@Blyroberto]

Gracias Andrew Bird

[@yimairacastillo9988]

-7:44 , Angels came down to sing with him. The Grace that you posses.

[@logangrace9393]

If anyone could find a video of Plasticities from In the Basement I would appreciate it. I saw it a couple years ago and would love to see it again.

[@kutteschleonard7459]

Wunderschön!!! Ohhh Got..❤

[@richardburt9812]

Beautiful

[@HipHopapatomous]

I will never forgive myself for missing Andrew Bird and Patrick Watson perform together..:/

[@ZomBiezley]

I wish this was the version that was being sold on itunes

[@DerekGuenther]

@bonbonbonification It's a series called "From the Basement" produced by Nigel Godrich (famous mostly for producing many Radiohead and Beck albums). The website is fromthebasement.tv and I believe you can buy DVDs of all the full performances. The series is famous for making the best recordings ever.

[@Borringbee]

by the 8th minute it starts to sound like Hole in The Ocean Floor.

[@loganriscool]

I love it when he's starts to dance sort of at 2:14, just flowing around with his music

[@launicaalicia]

Heard it on The Story on NPR last night, and I'm glad I found who it was (:

[@aprilbloom1]

I actually love his head-bopping at the beginning

[@MrsLZombie]

awesome! i loved it, omg, this is music

[@jstema]

fucking amazing. most beautiful thing ive heard in awhile.

[@alecsandracaliari3365]

02:23 I'm broken by a love, my only love.

[@patm718]

this will be released as an itunes bonus track, yay.

[@hippityhop05]

Call me ignorant, but is this a new song? It's the first time I've heard it. Very beautiful (and catchy)!

[@darcycrews]

I’m coming here 13 years later to say, you are ignorant! I don’t actually think that, but you told me to call you that!

[@hippityhop05]

Ah, I see. Cool. I don't think I have it on my edition of Noble Beast, but maybe it's one of the songs in my free iTunes download I have yet to use. I'll have to see.

[@carbonator100]

Legendary

[@TheNimasan]

he is a genius!!!!

[@delilahjoneslove]

PREACH.

[@dlk190239]

i miss Mia!!!!! im not sure if i want to go through with this life without her...MIA!

[@Omgberto]

Looks like 3 people missed the "Like" button.

[@chocogirl105]

Heehee. Happy memories.

[@dancetoska]

I'm sad that they took this video down from the site. Two years later and it still gives me chills.

[@vinayakgupta93]

@notnoah007 your wish has come true. it deserves like over a million atleast

[@PabloZayas]

@ITipCowsWorldWide make me. no seriously why are there dislikes in this song?

[@noise4yt]

Wish I could do that...

[@philmcintosh2824]

Imagine -John lennon🎉

[@sethfafa]

this is the same intro aesthetic as take courage, maybe its like I and imitosis, same song differnt format

[@ericjr8277]

@LoganGrace it was removed awhile back :( along with tenuousness in the basement

[@scrumbole]

FUCKING FINALLY

[@alecsandracaliari3365]

you have lied to us, My Love?

[@calebmund]

All I really wanna know right now is how come you can't tell the violin leaked into his vocals mic when he's playing and singing at the same time...

[@234semaj]

..........

[@ITipCowsWorldWide]

@zayaspablo1 No shut up with the Justin Beiber jokes already.
