Yes! I couldn’t have said it better myself. I listen to this bescuse some things came back to me, some series Rewatch after 16 years. And back at the country I so badly want to make better memories off. But this country is getting into sivil war.. I mixed the news videos with this song, and it hit the rock, so warm and yet so sad; country I want to visit but Chile my parents homeplace is in hurt..

I initially heard this song on Orange Is The New Black & instantly fell in love. The song fit the scene so well, as Piper was getting transferred to the Chicago detention center. The scene was very bittersweet & that’s the exact vibe I get from this song. It’s happiness, but melancholy is right around the corner. Reminds me of my ex for some reason

[@laurlaur2die4]

I'm from Chicago, and though there are times when I hate my city and just want to run away from the congestion and the grime, this song reminds me of all the things I love about it... Its idiosyncrasies, its character, all that make it home to me. Right now I'm in the highlands of Scotland, and though I am sad to go back home soon and leave this beautiful country, this song reminds me of why I call it home and everything I have to look forward to. Love you Andrew Bird and I wish you were still holed up in good ol' Logan Square instead of out in California. Chicago misses you! 💗

Every Andrew creation is touched by God. I am an atheist, but there is no explanation for such thing.

[@LuzkLT22]

I'm not sure of how many times I've listened to this song. But I am convinced that anything this guy creates is nothing but pure magic.

[@singing_bones]

i've come back to this song often over the past few years, because it's a very good song. but recently it feels like my entire life has fallen apart, and after having to make a drastic and sudden move, it's been helping me keep my cool in the face of the uncertainty of it all. this feels like it's the end of my world, like i'm failing my past self in every sense, but this music does help me sift through the chaos in my head. maybe there will be some light in this.

[@EverythingandnothingP]

Every ending leads to a beginning

[@bellacapulet1933]

This song reminds me of cuddling up on cold nights and drinking warm tea, or dancing slowly with the one you love, soft kisses and then passionate love making, long phone calls and love letters, bike rides and long walks. This song just makes me so freaking happy.

[@Claire-West]

Dear Andrew, when I am listing to this song, all my half-baked attempts at life seem alright. I feel like it's okay to be upbeat about them. So thanks.

[@Vylkeer]

This tied in so perfectly with the state of confusion, loneliness and sadness Piper was in while being brought in the other penitentiary in Chicago. The shots of the city’s skyline, the river, the bus getting through all of it. Beautifully directed, really. It created the sense of melancholy they were probably after. Oh and do we want to mention the strings in this one?

[@hamizahamran1126]

Exactly. It's the kind of melancholy you get from a road trip/travelling + people-watching. In her case, well maybe a bit different.

[@polygonmap]

When I hear this song I think about the relaxing walks on campus I would have Freshman hear. It was something so simple yet reminiscing about it now makes me teary. Just walking to my doorm in the always beautiful Athens ga and thinking about my new life, my future and my place in the world. What an exciting time

[@andreabutitsruth]

I met a guy once by happenstance. We hit it off, and then nothing happened, which I’m alright with. But this song always reminds me of the many evenings I spent during a fall semester writing bioethics essays, writing scenes for a novel about a Chicago man begging for his lover to come back to him, and listening to this song out in a cold plaza as the moon rose and the sky turned a perfect royal blue. I grew up near Pulaski. Things worked out for the novel, and things didn’t with the guy I met at the library. I don’t mean to come on here with a story that’s particularly interesting, unique, quirky, or beautiful, but it still is an odd period of time in my life that I’m strangely nostalgic for. I had different fears and different challenges then, and the only reason I think I find myself finding comfort in the past as opposed to the future is knowing that for my past self, things worked out. None of us really ever have that comfort to give to our future selves, no matter how steady and sure we shore up the foundations of our lives.

Love my city! Thank you so much for writing and sharing this song with the community. I moved away for college and now I am in Louisiana. I listen to this song when I am homesick. Pulaski was my stopping grounds when I went to my Dads house. Let me tell you! Pulaski street runs through a lot of neighborhoods and captures the blend that chicago brings. I really do miss my city but this comforts me when I miss my family, friends, and ultimately what I call home..

[@keithfletcher6702]

As a fiddler myself, I really appreciate the new ground Andrew is breaking with the violin in pop music. It is something new under the sun. And as someone who loves Chicago, I am glad he has given this gift of a song to a great city.
