I need that Filson cap. Can't find it anywhere.

Dylan Ducham

masterpiece

Derick Kelly

Through mostly vacant streets a Baker from the outskirts of his town earned his living peddling sweets from a ragged cart he dragged around.The clever Fox crept close behind, kept an ever watchful eye for a chance to steal a Ginger spicecake or a Boysenberry pie.Looking down was the hungry Crow:When the time is right I'll strike and condescend to the earth below and take whichever treat I like!The moment the Baker turned around to shoo the Fox off from his cart, the Crow swooped down and snatched a shortbread cookie and a German chocolate tart.Using most unfriendly words that the village children had not yet heard, the Baker shouted threats by Canzonet to curse the crafty bird:You rotten wooden mixing spoon!Why, you midnight winged raccoon!You'd better bring those pastries back, you no good, burnt-black-macaroon!!!The Fox approached the tree where the bird was perched, delighted, in his nest:Brother Crow, don't you remember me?It's your old friend Fox with a humble request.If you could share just a modest piece, seeing as I distracted that awful man...This failed to persuade the Crow in the least, so the Fox rethought his plan:Then, if your lovely song would grace my ears, or, to even hear you speak would ease my pains and fears.The Crow looked down with the candy in his beak.Your poems of wisdom, my Good Crow, what a paradise they bring!This flattery pleased the proud bird so, he opened his mouth and began to sing:Your subtle acclamation's true, best to give praise where praise is due.Every Rook and Jay in the Corvidae has been Raven about me too!They admire me, one and all... must be the passion in my 'Caw', my slender bill, known through the Escadrille, my fierce, commanding claw...[the cookie drops, Fox retrieves it -- there is commotion in the town as the Baker gives chase. Crow is humiliated, realizes he's been tricked, continues his song]Ah, I've got a Walnut-brownie-brain and Molasses in my veins, crushed graham cracker crust, my powdered Sugar funnelcake cocaine.Let the Crescent Cookie rise!These Carob-colored Almond eyes would rest to see my Cashew Princess in the Swirling Marble Sky.We'll rest upon the Knee where all divisions cease to be and rootbeer float in our Banana Boat across the Tapioca Sea.When letting all attachments go is the only prayer we know.May it be so, may it be so, may it be so, oh...

the insecure bird.. so great

accordingtolive

Somoene on youtube has probably made instrumental versions. But if you just want a "story" then why do you need the rhythmatic music to go with it? Just sit down and read the lyrics. Aaron has got an amazingly unique voice, it's one of the things that attracts me to mewithoutYou

Caleb Waslewski

I want to meet them. That's it. Just to sit and talk with such humble, talented musicians.

philli5n

Mark my words, Youtube: If i can do one thing in my life, I would see them live, and meet Aaron. I want to see them perform sooooo bad xD

Mick Corless

@JakeZawmby I agree haha. Makes me wish sometimes he put out instrumental versions of all of the music. Itd sound great

Jake Zawmby

I'm honestly not trying to be a dick, because I love the band and this song. I get the response I'll get in return is 'That's not what it's about' because he's an amazing lyricist.I just think that after years he might have put a small focus into learning how to sing. As I said, he's practically a story tell because his music is so good along side his words...but It's been years and I could read the lyrics to music if I didn't want to hear them sung. No one agree?

Phil Parkes

that chat before the bridge was hilarious. flipping awesome dudes. would love to see them one day

When I have seen them live, Aaron will sometimes sing lyrics different from the recorded versions. Does anyone know if he fiddles with the lyrics regularly? Or has he changed words he didn't like to something he sings permanently? For example, does he always sing "insecure bird" now? Or will he change it up and occasionally still sing "proud bird?"

I would love to be able to own this session of songs on DVD....

ChronoCade

I think that this is the best version of the song. You can hear the gentleness in his voice, he's changed a lot since the first album.

HatTalk

This album weirded me out, but watching this makes me realize how awesome that album was, especially considering where they came from.

saaaahm

Why doesn't this happen in the parks near my house?

Ivo Maatman

hah, love aaron's face at 2.20; acting like the bird

CCrockett86

Looking at the dislike it seems as if the crow must have seen this video...

Savanna Halley

@HoboThatIsHigh this song actually isn't very hard to play. the verse chord progression is Bm-F#m-A-E and the chorus is A-E-D-E ...it's pretty much playing the same chords over and over again. good jam!

HoboThatIsHigh

I MUST learn this song. Period.
