More quotes by Andrew Bird
I'm not a home-studio guy. I spend a lot of time working by myself developing songs, but I really need some other counterpart to help me pull it all together, because you go nuts working if I had to finish an entire project all within my own head.
Andrew Bird
There's always a tension between wanting to write a really concise, instant gratification type song that gets under your skin the first time you hear it, and wanting to really stretch out. I think it's a healthy tension.
Andrew Bird
There's a lot of interesting words, nomenclatures, in science.
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
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
I'm a terrible Scrabble player.
Andrew Bird
It's not set in stone. I like to keep it rolling and changing, and so I am like, Great, I get to remake my song.
Andrew Bird
The way I work, I'm not a confessional singer-songwriter.
Andrew Bird
I don't like to disappear between records. I like to play shows while I'm making the record.
Andrew Bird
You can build up expectations for a song before you record it, and then it's like nothing's good enough in the studio.
Andrew Bird
I really like the sound of analog things where clearly there's something being touched. You can sense that something is handmade. So much with digital, there's a disconnect.
Andrew Bird
Music as a social conduit has always been important to me.
Andrew Bird
My favorite literature to read is fairly dry history. I like the framework, and my imagination can do the rest.
Andrew Bird
The weirdest time is when I'm having to explain myself all day to journalists, and then I don't perform, so there's no release, just a lot of self-consciousness. Then what do you do with that at the end of the day? How do you release your brain from talking about yourself all day?
Andrew Bird
Playing the violin and singing and whistling are just three different ways of making sound.
Andrew Bird
I still kind of believe this absurd line that if you have to write it down, it's not worth remembering.
Andrew Bird
Most of the songs that I appreciate are lyrically vague.
Andrew Bird
The melodies come out so strong that I'm like, Oh, crap. It's really better if they could both be kind of able to compromise, but the melodies, even more recently, they come out very fully cast and formed.
Andrew Bird
I've always had levity in my songs, so I like to turn things over, twist them around, and make fun of myself.
Andrew Bird
I just pay attention to what's in my head. That's my number-one rule.
Andrew Bird
