If anyone would happen to have keyboard sheet music for this, that'd be greatly appreciated.


Is it just me or is the lead instrument in this song, (beside the guitar), a Hammond organ?

Running Time

Hey, anybody know why the running time for this song is listed differently on this page and on Flood? I know it's only a one second difference, but I'd like to get it right for accuracy's sake. The track on my copy of Flood, which I downloaded from Wal-Mart has it at 3:20 with no gap between the tracks. I'm just looking to clarify this, so if anyone could wither explain a reason behind it, or confirm that it's a mistake/typo for me, I'd sure appreciate it. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 18:51, 21 Nov 2005 (EST)

I just put my CD in my computer here and it says 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

I bought the CD album. Audacity tells me it's 3 minutes and 20.698776 seconds long. -- TheBlunderbuss 14:14, 30 Jun 2006 (MDT)

Myspace Artwork

Should we upload the myspace artwork for birdhouse? I've been uploading them for most of the other songs, but mainly because we don't have screenshots for those. Since we do have birdhouse screenshots from the video, is it worth adding this image? --Duke33 15:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


Popularity

I was really pleasantly surprised to see that this track was offered at a local bar's karaoke night. I quickly signed up, and the version they had was even pretty good. I guess Birdhouse has proliferated culture more than Ana Ng or Don't Let's Start (which I thought I might find instead). --Wetreplies 03:01, 14 April 2007 (UTC)


Um... Why did the lyric on the lyrics page get edited to say 'Keep the nightlight on' instead of 'Leave the nightlight on'? Not only is it obvious that Linnell is singing 'leave', but it even says so in the Flood liner notes. --McBob 17:18, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Well I happened to agree at that moment with the anonymous person who edited the lyric at the Recursion page. I listened through once and thought it was "keep." Liner notes aren't the deciding factor for a song's lyric page here. Are you sure it's "leave"?
I am, but I guess there's no way to tell for sure. It's even hard to tell how Linnell lip-syncs the word in the video. But I do know that's what sung during live performances. --McBob 00:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
After a couple more listens, I'm still on the side of "keep." Is there a third party who would like to add something?

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (even though it says Johnny Carson on the DVD)

I am really much too young to remember the early years of Jay Leno/the late years of Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, but I must say that my favorite performance of any live song ever (I don't count Why Does The Sun Shine? anymore because the 'live' version is just the 'regular' version to me, but if I were to count it I would say they would be tied anyway) has to be when they performed Birdhouse In Your Soul on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Quite often I pop in my Gigantic DVD just to watch it. --ArAn 08:37, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
