Andrew Bird Plays 'Sisyphus' From His Latest Album 'My Finest Work Yet' 

Sounds better than 99.999% of acoustic studio recordings.

modern day genius song writer/performer!

This man's existence is a gift to humanity. Seeing him perform live at the ryman brought me to tears, multiple times.

This person is severely underrated

Nice. You don't hear enough good whistlers these days.

His name is bird. he whistles. like a bird. the sound people nailed it. thats all

Thanks Sam for asking and Andrew for being open to this and all you both do!

That was legendary.

Damn, that man can whistle!

I re-discovered this song a few days ago. I could listen to this 500 times in a row.

I love this.

the interviewer is beyond mesmerized by the end of the song

I love this song. I love this show.🎼🕊🐸

One Take Andy

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS! Happy new year!

Utterly in awe! 🙏💚

Lyrics: [Verse 1] Sisyphus peered into the mist A stone's throw from the precipice, paused Did he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist? Did he raise both fists and say, "To hell with this" and just let the rock roll? [Chorus] Let it roll, let it crash down low There's a house down there but I lost it long ago Let it roll, let it crash down low See my house down there but I lost it long ago [Instrumental Break] [Post-Chorus] Well, I let the rock roll on down to the town below We had a house down there but I lost it long ago Lost it long ago Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I'm letting it roll away It's got nothing to do with fate And everything to do with you [Verse 2] I'd rather fail like a mortal than flail like a god, I'm a lightning rod History forgets the moderates For those who sit recalcitrant and taciturn You know I'd rather turn and burn than scale this edifice, yeah Where's my accomplice? So take my hand, we'll do more than stand Take my hand, we'll claim this land Take my hand, and we'll let the rock roll [Chorus] Let it roll, let it crash down low There's a house down there but I lost it long ago Let it roll, let it crash down low See my house down there but I lost it long ago Lost it long ago [Post-Chorus] Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I'm letting it roll away It's got nothing to do with fate And everything to do with- [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Sisyphus peered into the mist A stone's throw from the precipice, paused

BRILLIANT ❤️

Wow, what talent!

I wish I could wistle like Andrew Bird! BRAVO! :D

LEGENDARY!

GENIOUS.

Over time, such a cool whistler.

Genius

❤️❤️

He's a nice whistler :)

Does Andrew Bird remind anyone of Shins front man James Mercer? Yes, he does. He most certainly does.

What a great voice. Didn't even know who he was.

Check out 3:45. I find it interesting how Sam can sit beside a guy performing like that and not show any sort of physical connection to the music like tapping his foot or moving his head or hand. He's perfectly still.

Enjoy to look it. Its okey.. like it.

he is the god of whistles

My favorite song because the Greek mythology story that the song is inspired by can be a metaphor for a lot of stuff and it is really interesting and beautiful, and that’s why I’m learning it on guitar. But.. *i simply cannot whistle* because my tongue is deformed and it’s attached to the bottom of my mouth more than it’s supposed to. ;( Also zero likes on the vid nice

Holy shit, whistling usually doesn't come through the audio that well. Sam Jones needs to be paying that audio guy more.

This is amazing! Would anyone be able share the strumming pattern?

We need more intelectuals in the business that's för sure.

The rolling rock

David Tennant really can sing and play the guitar

I'm honored to be the 900th like

Is they some kind soul which worked out the strumming on a guitar?

5.17 is happend to be my birthday~

Awesome performance of a song that my two daughters and i love. I cant help but notice that birdman looks maybe, maybe.... just a tad bit stoned?

I want to film an explorative documentary on the life and times of the one person who down liked this video. Their existence must be deeply dark.

sometimes I wish I'd come down with cancer, so I could beg Andrew bird to play music with me all day 😂😂😂 (Reference to Drunk by Noon by Andrew bird 😂)

Fine whislin' an a pickin' but can Marat get a piece? Jacques Louis-David plastered to a ton of work and no mention of the artist or portrait likeness? Work on this, Sir! "The Death of Marat." -- Jacques Louis-David circa 1793?

Birds aren't real

Naw not my bag could see this playing in a gap tho.....if anyone still shops there.

He's amazing, but he always looks like he smells.....

Genius
