Andrew Bird - Manifest (Live on KEXP) 

best whistler, ever.

What an amazing style; hairs stand on end. Andrew Bird's lyrics are immaculate and fitting and instrumentation satisfying.

Andrew and Madison together is just so great.

My son has been whistling Sysiphus incessantly today. Bird's melodies and lyrics are addictive.

I truly think Bird is one of a handful of genius songwriters we get every generation. These folks playing in this performance is why spend so much of my time listening to and playing music. And Check out Madison's new album if you haven't.

I love the Bird. The lyrics are absolutely amazing. Beautiful music that unfortunately doesn't receive the recognition that it deserves, but I think that is also part of the beauty.

1:25 I love her so much!

Great song. Great Lyric.

This is a song you can throw on in front of anyone at anytime and expect them to move around and ask who it is. Just an objectively beautiful tune.

I discover him yesterday...what a gem!!!

So much talent in one room

Love Andrew so much! My pretty Bird.

Beautiful song

Great song, I love it.

Came here after discovering Madison's cover of it, to be delighted with her featuring on this performance

Thank you, this is great!!!!

Andrew seem to get better every new presentation. Cheers KEXP and tks again for sharing

Minute 1:03 to 1:30 pure GOLD

I'm coming to the edge of the widest canyon My companion's dear I'm starting to question my manifest destiny My claim to this frontier I'm coming to the brink of a great disaster End just has to be near The earth spins faster, whistles right past you Whispers death in your ear Don't pretend you can't hear Don't pretend you can't I can hear your tendrils still digging For everything that's walked this earth once living Then to be exhumed and burned to vapor Can you save her? Now she's in the air Radical and free Neither here nor there She's obliged to no one She's obliged to no one Yeah, yeah I'm coming to the edge of a rising ocean Such commotion and fear Keeping all our eyes on what's on the horizon And all that we hold dear I'm coming to the brink of a great disaster End just has to be near The Earth spins faster, whistles right past you Whispers death in your ear Don't pretend you can't hear Don't pretend you can't I can hear your tendrils still digging For everything that's walked this earth once living Then to be exhumed and burned to vapor Can you save her? She's in the air Radical and free Not a goddamn care She's obliged to no one She's obliged to no one Oh, no Don't pretend you can't hear Don't pretend you can't hear

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What does this song mean to you?

Ewan McGregor is a great drummer

I find myself surreptitiously converting my friends to Bird bandwagon! Still can't whistle worth a damn like this fine gent :/

“All these people talking to themselves out loud (on blast) for money. How much are they giving for a lb. of guts these days? A chicken shit at best? A house in California where the fault line strengthens from the stupidity, the naivety that inhabits the topsoil? Probably not but who knows.” ,dan’

I like him but you know homeboy takes himself too Seriously
