it's nesting season

i will fight every window

[FuriosoDrummer]

At this point we need a playlist of "BDG songs about a minor issue that are actually a metaphor for how anxiety traps us in a prison of our own making but also still about the first thing."

[aldar]

on the bright side, he's reached a level of confidence that he can call his reflection "handsome", so maybe soon he'll be able to wear hats without looking like a little lad

[enzoeijsermans]

BDG really knows his audience, he knows we love watching birds!

[GreenDog]

I like how for most of the song Brian is just ready to brawl but as soon as he actually hits something he immediately goes to make sure his reflection is ok

[AKoolKat]

“Not a bird, I’m a man, but I will, and I can.” This line makes me laugh more than it should.

[delaneyblair]

“All of her worries are nothing but a trick of the light” that line hit me harder then it should have

[lunalebleu]

If you have a bird that flies into your window or attacks your window, please get a peelable window cling for it. It frosts the window so they know it's glass and then won't hurt themselves, you can get them in patterns or just solid frosting to make it opaque. It really helps to protect wildlife and it's not hard to take off if you're renting a place

[Genderqueeropossum]

As someone who finds themself wanting to fight every mirror and reflection I see, I feel like this was made for me

[suesskind]

1:04 that vocal repetition with "all of my seeds and my sticks - they're my needs, I can't fix" is so good and so satisfying!!

[rainevelde]

For all those struggling with birds fighting thier windows- please put a window cling on! It will keep your feathered friends alive another year! ❤🎉

[lluc_riberax]

I like that his first reaction when a clone of himself comes out of a mirror he punched is checking if he's fine

[paulbunyunn]

I love how it gets briefly deep and then keeps on grooving. 😂

[Cnli]

Time to play the game of “silly song or terrifying horror?”

[mollymcdade]

“She could save most of her energy if she simply just chose not to fight” - that’s like 90% of OCD counselling treatment right there in a lyric 😂

[flitsman]

I get immense joy that I can't justify from the fact that when his reflection is hit in the throat, he's just desperately trying to tell Brian he forgives him.

[sliced]

This genre of “Minor inconveniences that I write songs about” is my favorite

[Atnat]

It really feels like he learned the right lessons from watching those birds

[daniellewasdelayed]

The line of being grateful for the goldfinch tapping at the window really hits me deep in the "when you think about it, always being on guard is good because then you can never be hurt, just ignore how you're still hurting" place :)

[ICVRXS]

I love the intimacy of the more self-reflective moment. The reverb drops, no video effects, just you standing there in a genuine moment of vulnerable thought.
Very effective and beautiful, honestly.

[moara]

Came back to rewatch this and shocked to find it's only 1:57 minutes long. It definitely holds on outsized space in my memory.
