Always felt this song was about wanting to give someone everything but not being capable of enough.

[@rya9264]

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..

[@liyasmilesalot]

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

[@virgilux_2969]

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! 💗

[@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.

[@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]

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..

[@colemanjones4374]

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

Thank you Andrew Bird for this beautiful song. It resonates so much with me Especially growing up & living on the south side & on Pulaski. Working downtown & all my many adventures & all the hard times too. I went to high school at curie on archer & Pulaski. It means so much to me. & you literally touched my heart & sang it so beautifully ♡

[@birdlawco]

[@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.

Andrew, your talent is uncomprehensible. When i was around 6 or 7 we took a road trip in a van from Texas to Canada, my dad would always play his soundtrack of camping music. We would always listen to this song and all of the others, it was just breathtaking being out there and taking this trip with that. I never knew the artist of the song until recently I found you name again. I played this song and it is so nostalgic and warm. Thank you for the memories you gave me and the music to get through hard times.
