Andrew Bird Releases Official Video For "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain"

Andrew Bird recently shareed the official video for his latest single, "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain" feat. Phoebe Bridgers, created in collaboration with the Emily Dickinson Museum. A haunting reimagination of the Emily Dickinson poem, the duet has been called "rich, beautiful and just a little bit spooky" (Literary Hub), led by "raw, vulnerable vocals" (Washington Post) that have now been set against images of the late poet's original handwritten transcripts, and snowy footage of her lifelong Massachusetts home.

Visuals were provided to Andrew Bird by the Emily Dickinson Museum, who were quick to voice their support for his and Bridgers' rendition of the poem that he calls the most vivid description of an inner world he has ever encountered. Read more about the inspiration Dickinson's "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain" had on Bird's new album Inside Problems in a conversation with Vanity Fair, and see those words come to life in the video:

Andrew Bird and Phoebe Bridgers also recently teamed up for her cover of The Handsome Family's "So Much Wine," a song that Bird blended with "Greensleeves" on his holiday album Hark!, and will often perform live during the Christmas season. Produced by Phoebe Bridgers along with Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska, "So Much Wine" features Marshall Vore, Harrison Whitford, Sebastian Steinberg and Paul Mescal, in addition to vocals, violin and whistling by Bird. Proceeds from the track will be going to the Los Angeles LGBT Center, which provides services for more LGBT people than any other organization in the world. 

Released in June, Inside Problems sees Andrew Bird enter "previously uncharted territory" (Pitchfork), as songs like "Make a Picture" and the Joan Didion-inspired "Atomized" transport listeners to "a lush musical world" (NPR Music). After selling out the Greek Theatre, Red Rocks, NYC's Pier 17 and more on a US tour of 35 dates earlier this year, Andrew Bird has also announced another extensive return to the road for spring 2023. On sale now, a dozen stops across the East Coast, Midwest, Big Ears Festival and beyond will kick off on March 30th, in support of the album.

Before then, Andrew Bird will head home to Chicago for a sold-out, seven-night run of his annual Gezelligheid holiday concerts, one of which will be streaming live from Fourth Presbyterian Church on December 13th, with special guest My Brightest Diamond.
