Exploring “I Saw Another Bird”
Discussing the song, Elverum mentioned, “Behind the dry smirk of the title (sequelling out from A Crow Looked At Me) there are huge feelings that get opened. We are ridiculous little people toiling on the ground, but the sublime darts around above us always. We can pause, chill, and resume the conversation with the big unknown. This song tells how, in a toe-tapping way.”
