friday's treat: a one-man orchestra of the imagination.

i've said it before: andrew bird is a genius. there's a chorus from a u2 song that sums up my curiosity towards him: "i want to trip inside your head, spend the day there; hear the things you haven't said, see what you might see".

i love that he does not feel the need to validate what he writes. the topics he throws out in song are diverse, complex, relevant and often very whimsical. he refers to reckless curiosity - how wonderful is that? his music almost stands as beauty for beauty's sake in the world. and i think that one of the best presents we can give ourselves and the future.

to just listen to beautiful music. and get drunk on being in the moment.
