What you see with your eyes when you're making music is going to have a profound effect on what you hear.
Andrew Bird
Image
I don't write poetry and then strum some chords and then fit the words on top of the chords.
Andrew Bird
Image
I guess I'm attracted to more archaic words because they can be imbued with more meaning, because their definition is elusive.
Andrew Bird
Image
I am, in some sense, a writer. Even though I kinda downplay the word thing, I do enjoy writing sometimes.

The real drag is trying to fly from country to country, day of show, with all your gear. You get hassled all the time. It's hard trying to keep it together.

I think any songwriter or record, no matter how good it is, can become tedious if it's the same person's point of view. After four tracks, you start to get worn down no matter how good it is. It can be relentlessly good, but it's still going to wear you out.

Sometimes I just think we're not meant to fly halfway around the world in a day. That some kind of mutation is going to happen.
Andrew Bird
Image
I'm just trying to get my body in shape so that I can handle it. It's a very physically demanding thing. I've been doing it for 16 years, so I know what I'm going into now. I'm trying to stay calm and not panic.
Andrew Bird
Image
I still kind of believe this absurd line that if you have to write it down, it's not worth remembering.
Andrew Bird
Image
I still play solo shows. And some of those shows are still some of the best, most gratifying shows.

Just don't let the human factor fail to be a factor at all

I've always felt that dark lyrics with dark music is pretty useless. Maybe that's a strong statement - not useless, but for me, it's just boring.

The instrumental record is a bit subtler. It's the kind of stuff on sound check, when I first pick up my violin and start to play, the kind of melodies that just pour out of me. Some of them sound very classical. Some of them sound experimental, polyrhythmic loops that I make.
