Don't Be Scared
As recorded by Andrew Bird on the album Weather Systems
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.

When...whenever Paul
- -
Thinks of rain, swallows fall
In a wave
And tap on his windows with their beaks
- -
And...when Paul
- -
Thinks of snow, soft winds blow
'Round his head
And the phone rings just once, late at night
Like a bird calling out
"Won't you wake up, Paul...
don't be scared, don't believe you're all alone"
"Wake up, Paul"
Whisper clouds rolling by
And the seeds
Falling from the branches
Oh, from the branches and they're
Falling from the branches of the trees
Oh, from the branches
Falling from the branches and they're
Falling from the branches of the trees
"To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
