介绍： 自小就学习提琴让Andrew Bird早期的音乐以小提琴为主导，在古典音乐的熏陶下，Andrew Bird的作品带有唯美悠扬的气质，而在木吉他、班卓琴和曼陀林的共同架构下，淳朴亲近的意味同样贯穿于他的作品当中，值得人们细细品味。最为令乐迷所熟知的作品是Andrew Bird在2007年发行的《Armchair Apocrypha》，刚推出即创造了上架当周售出一万一千张的销售记录，并以第76名的好成绩登上了2007年的Billboard 200排行榜。于是Andrew Bird的接下来的动作可谓是大众期待之举。

2008年Andrew Bird的新作《Noble Beast》还是一如其一直以来的作品，充满温暖温馨的感觉，"Tenuousness"就是这么一首充满温馨的歌曲，只看到封面就爱上了他的音乐，这首歌旧乡封面那样，给人的感觉是清新，自然，一切都那么随和！

歌词：

Tenuous at best was all he had to say
when pressed about the rest of it, the world that is
from proto-Sanskrit Minoans to Porto-centric Lisboans
Greek Cypriots and and harbor-sorts who hang around in quotes a lot

Here's where things start getting weird
while chinless men will scratch their beards
and to their minds a sharpened axe
is brushed upon the Uralic syntaxes

Love of hate acts as an axis
Love of hate acts as an axis
First it wanes and then it waxes
So procreate and pay your taxes

Tenuousness
Less seven comes to three
Them, you, us plus eleven thank the heavens for their elasticity
And as for those who live and die for astronomy

Know when to stand or when to sit
Can't stand to stand can't stand to sit
Now who would want to know this

Who wants to look upon this
Who wants to look upon this
Pray tell
Who wants to look upon this
Who wants to look upon this
Pray tell
Pray tell

Tenuousness
Less seven comes to three
Them, you, us plus eleven comes just shy of infinity
and as for those who live and die from numerology
