Bird, Andrew - Capsized Lyrics

CHUDEAR WJUOK'S DAUGHTER Ooh lah-ah!! Great to hear in the late part of the dark morning and right after you just had fun dreaming-eh!!💖💗💖💗

3:07-3:17 is too short an amount of time to compact such musical wonderment.

дуже гарна тємка!!! талановито!

I thonk i have listened to the Are You Serious album 100x in the past week. Its got me.

great music !

One of my favourite artists ever. It's funny because for years and years I cherished some of his songs I had found by chance, but never looked much into it. I thought those pieces were like chocolate: I couldn't toss them around. Thought there couldn't be more material just as brilliant. But lately I've been engulfing in all his work and it's absolute joy, power, inspiration. He's a classic.

listen to Erlon Chaves "Cosa Nostra"

#HulledGhost

So good

This is what a master whistler looks like. Keep doing what you do Andrew and I'll keep listening

Why have I never seen this before?

so everything about this song screams that you about creation code
deceiver eh
why don't you write a song called cellular energy device oh cptn

Thank you Casey!

Casey brought me here!

If you are the one who composes this music, I do not understand why so few visits, you are a musical genius <3

he s underrated peeps listening this masterpiece have special ears

I hate to be one of the guys that say this but
You're really underrated, Andrew.

electric guitar and violin awesome

I usually have a distaste for music videos in general, but this was excellent. God bless the Bird.

fantastic. I just discovered Bird, every album is gold. where is the red carpet for this man?

Fuck this is dynamite.

reminds me of joses gonzalez or junip

And when you break up skies fall and nobody's on your side... something 'bout laundry... darling, you're all alone

Now when you wake up
Night's falling someone is by your side
Pull it together, darling you're not alone

But when you break up
Sky's falling, no one is on your side
Spoon dirty laundry, darling you're all alone

[Chorus]
And when you wake up, another sunrise
Another break up, this ship is capsized
And when you wake up, another sunrise
Another break up, this ship is capsized

Just keep your lamp on

[Verse 2]
Now he's a dyin' bed maker
He's a dyin' bed maker Jesus gonna make my...
It's a holy ghost, holy ghost religion
It's a holy ghost religion Jesus gonna make my...

[Chorus]
And when you wake up, another sunrise
Another break up, this ship is capsized
And when you wake up, another sunrise
Another break up, this ship is capsized

[Verse 3]
And when you wake up
Night's falling, someone is by your side
Pull it together, darling you're not alone

But when you break up
Sky's falling, no one is on your side
Spoon dirty laundry, darling you're all alone
Spoon dirty laundry, darling you're all alone
Spoon dirty laundry, darling you're all alone

[Chorus]
And when you wake up, another sunrise
Another break up, this ship is capsized

It's really nice to see so many positive comments. A few bad apples but generally people are pretty lovely :)

How did I miss this? New fave.

This is a great song to wake up to. Optimism in a mean and nasty world.

this is an awful recording. Watch his Tiny Desk concert if you want to hear what this song actually sounds like.

"awful" as in very unpleasant, disgusting, nasty, terrible, dreadful, ghastly, horrid, horrible, vile, foul, abominable, appalling, atrocious, horrendous, hideous, offensive, objectionable, obnoxious, frightful, loathsome, revolting, repulsive, repellent, repugnant, odious, sickening, nauseating, nauseous? Or more like "I prefer the Tiny Desk version" awful?

Rafael Andrade you should probably get off what ever drugs you're on

John Evans it's not his best work but it's not awful

Thank you!

Thank you Mr. Withers. So F-ing awesome.

How is this song not more popular? This is the best song, ever.

200k views isn't half bad

This is so different than his prior pieces, but I like it.

Props. Heard it yesterday evening on Raadio Tallinn (ERR/Estonia). R. Tallinn likes to play that kind of music.

I feel like this song is so underrated
This is liquid gold

Starring David Tennant as The Doctor

One can hear the Bill Wither's influence. Sweet. Awesome. A+++++++

Wow this guy sounds just like Bill Withers 👍

Crimson Tide and Roll Tide

Of course RTR

Yes! I thought this was a Bill Withers song when I first heard it on the radio.

HippieToad #ToadSquadSupplier --- very much so.

I was just about to say Bill Withers voice reincarnated but I scrolled first to see if anyone else commented that already. Nice.

Obsessed.

i like it so intense !!

Too good for the masses

+chippety pop 56,956 views on this one video, not including other songs by Bird like Pulaski at Night. Not really hidden.

Bro.... but you saying that gives me hope that eventually they'll get tired of the same old uninspired formula we have come to know as mainstream music; both rap and pop alike. Though I personally believe we are in the midst of one of the most creative periods of music there has ever been (hence the vague term ALTERNATIVE MUSIC) because honestly I listen to both undiscovered classic rock from back in the day and today's indie scene and there is an unbelievable amount of quality music been made recently that just doesn't get promoted. But idk man Dirty Harry out... #savemusic

First heard about this artist on WMNF in Tampa.

yeyyyyy!!!!! nice

the weirder the person... the better the music they make

Fucking "A" right!

This is such a great song

Intro is oddly familiar to Bowies "Lazarus" with the bed scene and his arms stretching out in that way.

exactly man

Now I finally understand the lyric "Spoon dirty laundry" at 3:00.

+Jessica Golden hahaha, me too! all makes sense now

+Jessica Golden please explain

Because at 3:00 he's Spooning (cuddling with) a pile of laundry.

I interpreted this as the song's protagonist waking up without his (her) partner and having snuggled up to their bedsheets (laundry) in sleep, as if the body wasn't physically ready yet to give up the other person. The song's lyric reminds the addressee of that.

I don't know. Don Henly did a pretty good job describing what dirty laundry is... "spooning" it would be less about a physical configuration of one's body, and more about disseminating derogatory information about someone, hence leading to "darling, you're all alone," as is Bird's next lyric.

This is fantastic!

ur a douche

good song ... not sure it classifies as 'rock' though lol

+Hunter Mannertitten Who said it should?

YouTube has it on top of their 'new rock songs' playlist

@Hunter Mannertitten Oh I see. Well it's got some rock elements... as well as soul, blues, funk...

Gotta say, it's a bit weird seeing Andrew starring in his own video. It's just so... unusual. Great vid anyways.

+Mónica Martínez -- This whole album was "unusual". That's not to say that I didn't like it. I loved it. So honest for someone like Bird who typically hides behinds convoluted metaphors to the point of misunderstanding his intent.

+Biff Burgerstein Oh, absolutely. I've always loved his obscure songwriting and his reluctance to write transparent lyrics, but this new honesty is quite refreshing, and, after years of hiding behind convoluted metaphors, like you say, it's nice to see he's just as able to be direct and sincere without losing his ability to be engaging.

Mónica Martínez I feel it's hard for him to star in his own video because of who he is, and it's probably why I like his music 🙂

Mónica Martínez that is being an artist. He is also is down to earth nice guy
