Andrew Bird
Well, my main instrument is violin, but I think of myself as a songwriter who happens to play violin.
Andrew Bird
The orchestra's an amazing instrument, but I don't want to just arrange my songs for it. I think that might be kind of boring and a little bit overdramatic, perhaps. I'm still just having too much fun doing it my way, for the time being.
Andrew Bird
Just don't let the human factor fail to be a factor at all
Andrew Bird
Songwriting requires some sort of ceremony to even get the process started, and it can be somewhat arbitrary.
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 don't write poetry and then strum some chords and then fit the words on top of the chords.
Andrew Bird
