Low Anthem, The - Boeing 737 Lyrics
I was in the air when the towers came down
In a bar on the 84th floor
I bought Philippe Petit a round
And asked what his high wire was for
One foot straight into heaven
As the prophets entered boldly into the bar
On the Boeing 737,
Lord, on the Boeing 737
Hey little bird,
Would you be the one
To nest beneath my Gatling gun
There's nothing left I call my own
Come down and build me a home
I was in a bar when they rigged the tower
Trying to leave all my sins
The barmaid asked my order
And where my mind had been
I tried to recall the high wire
Philippe and his foot there in heaven
As the prophets entered boldly into the bar
On the Boeing 737,
Lord, on the Boeing 737
Hey little bird,
Would you be the one
To nest beneath my Gatling gun
There's nothing left I call my own
So come down and build me a home
Hey little bird,
Would you be the one
To nest beneath my Gatling gun
There's nothing left I call my own
So come down and build me a home

Low Anthem, The Boeing 737 Comments
This is still one of the most underrated songs I've ever heard, and music videos I've ever seen.
Wtf am i watching
I was so confused to why the start of the song did sound familiar because this was the first time I had heard it, until I realized 'Piano Man.' The start sounds really similar. Great song!
Bob Dylan
I don't know, something about this sucking I presume.
Wonderful song!
Shawn Hardy
Indeed.
Nope. Different people translate music different.
you must me joking. it is clearly about 9/11.
strange people walking through the woods... Why are so many music videos like this nowadays?
Regardless, cool song
This song is about doing coke in a small bar. In Atlanta, most people can relate to this. =D
Phillipe Petit lives!
i showed your video for a short film in my cinema class, beautiful work done here
Saw this live. It rocked!!
@Joe11yeah Fucking owned.
@DragonBoy537 You have a JLS video in your favourites, so you sir, suck.
Saw them at Gateshead on Aug 17! Absolutely FANTASTIC
go on wemyss
Wow, what a powerful song! It's reminiscent of Neutral Milk Hotel, methinks.
LOVE IT! Thanks for being an uncompromising artist with the guts to pair these lyrics with this imagery.
Whoa. I've been digging this song for a little while and am really glad to see the video. It's a perfect fit, and very evocative of the scenery the song paints. The tightrope walkers falling, the feathers in the air at the end... I finally feel like someone gets it.
GREENMAN! I'LL BE THERE SHOUTING FOR A NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL COVER!
Just saw them las night open for Iron & Wine and they are incredible! I spoke with Ben for a little while -- such nice, humble artists who are so very appreciative for their fans. Great vid.
How has this only got 600 views? Incredible!
