As recorded by Andrew Bird on the album Weather Systems
Transcribed by Cameron Brydon ([email protected])
Andrew Bird is an amazing singer/songwriter out of Chicago. He is a one-man
orchestra,playing multiple instruments during each song, looping samples of each
to build songs.
He is amazing live, putting on his entire show with just one person, Kevin O'Donnel,
who plays drums and keyboards simultaneously.
