Andrew Bird Quotes

I think life is a wondrous thing. I’m happy to try pretty hard Picture Quote #1

I think life is a wondrous thing. I’m happy to try pretty hard Picture Quote #1

Some of my earlier songs are kind of more about mental illness Picture Quote #1

Most of the songs that I appreciate are lyrically vague Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the word dictated the melody Picture Quote #1

If you take a little time, let’s say three weeks off, after recording a song, and you listen to it every other day, you’re just going to know eventually Picture Quote #1

The music that I write is often not necessarily full of doom and gloom. You’ll notice in most of the darkest songs, the music is actually pretty peaceful and lulling Picture Quote #1

I just pay attention to what’s in my head. That’s my number-one rule Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I think I don’t have much choice in the matter. It’s just what happens, and I’m following my instincts the whole time Picture Quote #1

There’s always that struggle between me wanting to keep [song] new and fresh and then be - I can never get with pop songs being so repetitive Picture Quote #1

You can build up expectations for a song before you record it, and then it’s like nothing’s good enough in the studio Picture Quote #1

People who are thinking about your music almost as much as you are, that almost never happens Picture Quote #1

I still play solo shows. And some of those shows are still some of the best, most gratifying shows Picture Quote #1

It’s like you don’t know you’re making a record unless you’re half-killing yourself Picture Quote #1

Every time I make a record, it’s kind of like scarification or something. You work 15 hours until you’re stupid. You’re just kind of all jittery Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The earth almost looks like it’s packed down and dense from so many feet treading over it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

With digital sound just becomes simply information, not the sum of its parts Picture Quote #1

With the words, a lot of things start with questions. Some word kind of piques my interest, and I love the way it sounds, but I really don’t know what it means. And I honestly don’t care for a while Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have the patience for the research, or anything like that. I just like how it sets the imagination off. It’s just an area that’s very fertile for great words. Great metaphors, potentially Picture Quote #1

My head is full of shifting patterns and polyrhythmic stuff; but I want to use all acoustic instruments and create this kind of tapestry of interlocking lulling parts Picture Quote #1

The fact that I wasn’t expected to read music at all and was absorbing everything by ear... it had a huge affect on the kind of musician that I became Picture Quote #1

You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I’m going, or when I’ve lived in a place so long that there’s no chance I could possibly get lost Picture Quote #1

Honestly, I didn’t have the patience for biology or history in an academic sense, but I always liked the kind of big questions Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been fascinated and stared at maps for hours as a kid. I’ve especially been most intrigued by the uninhabited or lonelier places on the planet. Like Greenland, for instance, or just recently flying over Alaska and a chain of icy, mountainous islands, uninhabited Picture Quote #1

You can build up expectations for a song before you record it, and then it’s like nothing’s good enough in the studio Picture Quote #1

My mom had this romantic notion of her children playing classical music. The idea is you learn it when you’re still learning language. It’s using the same part of the brain Picture Quote #1

I also don’t believe that everything happens for a reason, which is in a similar category of world-views Picture Quote #1
