Wow, I just totally zoned out to this video for Andrew Bird's aptly titled "Lull," and now, I gotta admit, I'm feeling pretty calm and peaceful. The combination of Bird's soothing voice and the animated maritime narrative that accompanies the song has a, well, lulling effect. According to Stereogum, this version of "Lull" has been reworked by Chicago-based band Dianogah, and the animation was done by Lisa Barcy.
The story being told in the video is at times bizarre and full of melancholy, but watching it is like a meditative exercise. It might be a welcome treat for anybody singing the still-in-the-office-on-the-first-official-day-of-Summer blues (or anyone else). To check it out, read more.
Thanks to Pitchfork for premiering the video:

I can't believe no one has commented on this yet!
That was super trippy, but you're right, the music was really soothing. Also, I have a really strong craving for seafood now. LOL!
