Artist: Andrew Bird Ft. Fiona Apple “Left Handed Kisses”
Album: Are You Serious
Not exactly known for writing love songs, Andrew Bird teamed with the inimitable Fiona Apple for his latest release, “Left Handed Kisses.” Of the song, Bird had this to say:
“My inclination was to write a song about why I can’t write a simple love song. The song began as an internal dialogue,” Bird says. “At first it was just my voice. Then another voice came creeping in and I thought ‘this should be a duet if I can find the right person.’ I needed to find someone really indicting. She was totally committed. The session was a long whiskey-fueled night – unhinged, for sure. All worth it, of course. I can’t write simple love songs. People are complex.”
