More quotes by Andrew Bird
Some of my earlier songs are kind of more about mental illness.
Andrew Bird
The way I work, I'm not a confessional singer-songwriter.
Andrew Bird
The earth almost looks like it's packed down and dense from so many feet treading over it.
Andrew Bird
I don't like to disappear between records. I like to play shows while I'm making the record.
Andrew Bird
You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I’m going, or when I’ve lived in a place so long that there’s no chance I could possibly get lost.
Andrew Bird
I've never approached classical music in a formal way, ever. I couldn't read very well. I'd have to play every piece and internalize it, almost as if I had written it myself.
Andrew Bird
I really believe there's more honesty in one live show than there may be in my whole output.
Andrew Bird
There is something comforting about going into a practice room, putting your sheet music on a stand and playing Bach over and over again.
Andrew Bird
I'm a terrible Scrabble player.
Andrew Bird
With digital sound just becomes simply information, not the sum of its parts.
Andrew Bird
Sometimes I think I don't have much choice in the matter. It's just what happens, and I'm following my instincts the whole time.
Andrew Bird
There's songs that could either be taken as a conversation between two people, like The Privateers, or Why, from a much earlier record. Or Glass Figurine. That's my version of a relationship song.
Andrew Bird
I guess I'm attracted to more archaic words because they can be imbued with more meaning, because their definition is elusive.
Andrew Bird
I can't relate to the process of just disappearing and writing a record, all at the same time, followed by the sort of drudgery of going out on tour and trying to recreate the record, playing the same 12 songs every night.
Andrew Bird
What you see at the Field Museum is only like, 10 percent of the collection. It's birds of paradise and passenger pigeons and in all these drawers that pull out, these specimens come out and it's spectacular. And it worked out.
Andrew Bird
The music that I write is often not necessarily full of doom and gloom. You'll notice in most of the darkest songs, the music is actually pretty peaceful and lulling.
Andrew Bird
Most of the songs that I appreciate are lyrically vague.
Andrew Bird
I think when I was pretty young I got really into the tone of my instrument and I remember just playing one note for an hour to just kind of feel the resonance of the violin.
Andrew Bird
I've literally opened it up to suggestions and it's totally chaotic and kind of a bad idea. You don't need the actual feedback to get a sense. When you're showing a song for the first time, people can feel that newness.
Andrew Bird
The anti-aging advert that I would like to see is a baby covered in cream saying, 'Aah, I've used too much'
