Lyric discussion by staralfur1 

This song will always remind me of my granny, who died 5 years ago. A couple of days before she passed away in her sleep, we were listening to an interview with Andrew Bird. He also played some songs, including Scythian Empire. I remember my gran sitting in her comfy chair, enjoying it silently. Afterwards, she sighed "this is réal music". It was the last time we spent time together, and I'll never forget it. The first time I heard mr. Bird play this song live I bawled my eyes out, I still get teary when I hear it. Granny, I miss you...
